Abstract
Considered here was the effect of multistage coupling on the dynamics of a rotor consisting of eight mistuned bladed discs on a solid shaft. Each bladed disc had a different number of rotor blades. Free vibrations were examined using finite element representations of rotating single blades, bladed discs, and the entire rotor. In this study the global rotating mode shapes of eight flexible mistuned bladed discs on shaft assemblies were calculated, taking into account rotational effects such as centrifugal stiffening. The thus obtained natural frequencies of the blade, shaft, bladed disc and entire shaft with discs were carefully examined to discover resonance conditions and coupling effects. This study found that mistuned systems cause far more intensive multistage coupling than tuned ones. The greater the mistuning, the more intense the multistage coupling.
