Beginning at room conditions, a finite element model of an impeller wheel at rest is updated based on experimentally determined mistuning in terms of blade dominated frequencies. The following numerical forced response analyses yield a maximum blade displacement amplification of 67% compared to the tuned reference. In addition, modal damping ratios are determined in dependence on the ambient pressure ranging from technical vacuum at 1 mbar up to 6000 mbar in a pressure chamber. Shaker excitation and laser Doppler vibrometry response measurement is employed in this context. A linear dependence of modal damping ratios on ambient pressure and a dominating damping contribution of the surrounding air even for higher modes could be proved. Moreover, the experimental determination of frequency response functions (FRF) at technical vacuum yields a better separation of resonance peaks compared to room conditions at 1013 mbar and hence, this data allows for more accurate model-updates in principle. It is proved that numerical models updated regarding mistuning at room conditions are well suited to predict the forced response at arbitrary pressures if measured modal damping ratios at these pressures are considered. Finally, within analyzing the effect of increasing structural temperatures with the surrounding air at 1013 mbar included slightly decreasing resonance frequencies but strongly increasing FRF-amplitudes are determined.
