TY - GEN A1 - Nakos, Alex A1 - Beirow, Bernd T1 - On the Influence of Installation on the Forced Response of Radial Turbine Wheels T2 - Proceedings of Global Power and Propulsion Society, GPPS Hongkong, October 16 - 19, 2023 N2 - Radial turbine wheels are commonly designed as integrally bladed rotors featuring extremely low structural damping in comparison to separate designs of blades and disk. Consequently, they are more prone to vibration. Moreover, random blade mistuning due to unavoidable inaccuracies in manufacture or material inhomogeneities can severely increase the maximum forced blade vibration amplitude compared to the tuned counterpart. Unfortunately, this response magnification may worsen in case of small damping. Since modes exhibiting blade dominated vibration are usually considered vulnerable in this regard, the influence of disk and shaft and its mounting conditions seems to be negligible. In this paper, reduced order models are employed in order to simulate the forced response of a radial turbine wheel. Experimental modal analyses have been carried out to provide realistic damping ratios considering both the single turbine wheel hardware as well as the full rotor mounted in a turbocharger test rig. Test runs are conducted and non-intrusive blade-tip-timing technology provides measurement data to validate the simulation models. Contrary to the original presumption, it is shown that additional structural damping contributed by assembling can significantly influence the forced response even though the focus is on blade dominated vibration.
