Research on the effect of fretting wear on the vibration characteristics of the tenon joint bladed disk

Abstract

The tenon joint structure is a typical structure of aero-engine bladed disk. Under external excitation, micro-slip inevitably occurs between the tenon and the tenon groove of the blade, which will cause fretting wear on the contact surface. The resonance frequency and margin of the bladed disk structure will change after fretting wear occurs. In this paper, a finite element subprogram is compiled based on the basic principle of Archard wear, which realizes the generation of surface wear morphology and multi-step iterative update of the double-tooth fir-tree joint model under fretting load. The subroutine is used to quantitatively analyze the wear depth distribution of the tenon joint surface under fretting loads. On this basis, the resonance margin and the vibration response characteristics of the bladed disk are quantitatively studied after fretting wear. The research results show that the natural vibration frequency of the bladed disk structure decreases at different wear times. This caused a decrease in the resonance margin of more than 80% of the measuring points. In addition, the resonance response amplitudes all showed an upward trend with the increase of wear depth.
