Abstract

A dynamic model based on classical plate theory is presented to investigate the vibration behavior of a rotating blade at an arbitrary stagger angle and rotation speed. The Hamilton's principle is applied to derive the equations of motion, which are discretised by a novel implementation of the fast and efficient collocation method for rotating structures and by the traditional Extended Galerkin method. The results obtained with these methods are compared and validated with results found in the literature and from commercial finite element software. The proposed collocation method leads to a significantly lower computation time than the Extended Galerkin method for the same accuracy. The results show a good agreement with those of the finite element method. Finally, the forced response analysis is determined for two cases; a point force and a distribution force, using a proportional damping model.
