Abstract

The disc-drum type rotors are commonly used in large gas turbine engines. In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of single stage disc-drum structure are studied based on the finite element model, where the connecting bolts are modeled using solid elements and the frictional contact at the joint interface is accommodated. In order to evaluate the nonlinearity resulting from the bolted joints, a finite element (FE) model fixing the disc and drum together is also established, and the simulation results based on the two models are compared. The effects of the bolt preload and the rotating speed on the dynamic characteristics of the disc-drum structure are also discussed. The works proposed in this paper help to enhance the understanding of the dynamics of the disc-drum type rotor.
