At the example of an turbine impeller the effects of rotation and temperature are analyzed with special focus on mistuning and damping. The forced response is measured synchronously via 13 identical positioned strain gauges on each blade as well as via blade tip-timing. Subsequently it is possible to compare the results of both systems. During the test series rotational speed varies in the range from 10.000 up to 19.000 RPM. Simultaneously, the wheel is heated up to 820 K by an oven. A number of pre-selected natural frequencies, damping ratios and operating deflection shapes are evaluated and compared with respect to different rotational speeds and impeller temperatures.

Linear dependencies of modal damping ratios on the ambient pressure or the acoustic impedance, respectively, could be shown within experiments carried out inside a pressure chamber. The impact of the ambient air clearly dominates the modal damping ratios compared to the minor contribution of the structure. Assuming that acoustic emission can be regarded as main source of aerodynamic damping a simplified approach for its determination is introduced which only depends on natural frequency, mode shape and acoustic impedance. It is shown that a satisfying match between experiment and computation is achieved for those cases which are dedicated to sufficiently small ratios between wave lengths of acoustic emissions and blade distances.}, language = {en} } @misc{MaywaldHeinrichKuehhornetal., author = {Maywald, Thomas and Heinrich, Christoph Rocky and K{\"u}hhorn, Arnold and Schrape, Sven and Backhaus, Thomas}, title = {Prediction of Geometrically Induced Localization Effects Using a Subset of Nominal System Modes}, series = {ASME Turbo Expo 2019: Turbomachinery Technical Conference and Exposition June 17-21, 2019 Phoenix, Arizona, USA}, journal = {ASME Turbo Expo 2019: Turbomachinery Technical Conference and Exposition June 17-21, 2019 Phoenix, Arizona, USA}, isbn = {978-0-7918-5869-1}, doi = {10.1115/GT2019-90884}, pages = {9}, abstract = {It is widely known that the vibration characteristics of blade integrated discs can dramatically change in the presence of manufacturing tolerances and wear. In this context, an increasing number of publications discuss the influence of the geometrical variability of blades on phenomena like frequency splitting and mode localization. This contribution is investigating the validity of a stiffness modified reduced order model for predicting the modal parameters of a geometrically mistuned compressor stage. In detail, the natural frequencies and mode shapes, as well as the corresponding mistuning patterns, are experimentally determined for an exemplary rotor. Furthermore, a blue light fringe projector is used to identify the geometrical differences between the actual rotor and the nominal blisk design. With the help of these digitization results, a realistic finite element model of the whole compressor stage is generated. Beyond that, a reduced order model is implemented based on the nominal design intention. Finally, the numerical predictions of the geometrically updated finite element model and the stiffness modified reduced order model are compared to the vibration measurement results. The investigation is completed by pointing out the benefits and limitations of the SNM-approach in the context of geometrically induced mistuning effects.}, language = {en} }
