Vibration Localization Analysis of Bladed Disk with Grouped Blades

Abstract

Vibration localization of bladed disk turns to be much complex when a number of blades are assembled into periodic groups. This work focused on natural frequency distribution and modal localization of bladed disks with grouped blades based on the lumped parameter models, and effects of the blade number in each group on natural frequency were studied. Then Monte Carlo method was applied to analyze the sensitivity of modal localization to the random mistuning of blade stiffness. The results show that the number of blades in each group influences the nature frequency of bladed disk with grouped blades, and modal localization of tuned bladed disk with grouped blades is found in the closely spaced modal region. Moreover, compared to the bladed disk with free blades, the modal localization of bladed disk with grouped blades is much less sensitive to random mistuning of blade stiffness.
