Research on Suppressing Vibration of Mistuning Cyclic-Periodic Structure

Abstract

Abstract This paper deals with the cyclic-periodic structure with piezoelectric shunt circuits or a parallel piezoelectric network. The objective is to obtain the vibration suppression effect of them on the cylic-periodic structure. The background of the research is about vibration reduction of bladed disks in aero-engines, and the system is simulated by a lumped parameter model. The tuned and mistuned dynamic equations of the system are derived. The method of equivalent blisk model (EBM) is used to identify the lumped parameters of a finite element model, which is related to the experimental model. Then the Modified Modal Assurance Criterion (MMAC) is used to evaluate the vibration suppression ability of shunt circuits and the network. The numerical results show that both of these two systems can control vibration well, even the mechanical and electrical mistuning level are up to 10 %, and there is an optimal resistance which can be used to design the system to get a good performance of vibration suppression. An experiment is performed to validate the analytical results. The experimental results demonstrate that the ability of vibration suppression for both two systems are almost the same, but the piezo-network has an advantage in vibration delocalization of the mistuned system.
