Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive review of recent advancements in modelling approaches, design strategies, and testing techniques applied to friction damping in turbomachinery. It critically evaluates experimental testing, design processes, and optimisation studies, along with the latest developments in numerical modelling techniques. The review begins with an overview of vibration mitigation methods and the historical development of friction dampers for bladed disk systems. Subsequent sections explore research efforts aimed at enhancing numerical and simulation modelling capabilities, encompassing contact friction models, reduced-order modelling methods, and numerical solvers suitable for real-world applications and industrial high-fidelity models. The paper also delves into available testing rigs for experimental validation and characterisation of various friction damper types, as well as the literature on uncertainty quantification in friction damping. It concludes by highlighting recent trends in novel concepts, modelling techniques, and testing technologies shaping the design of next-generation friction dampers.
