Abstract
When calculating the resonant response of bladed turbine disks, it has been expedient to assume that all blades on a given disk are identical. This leads to the prediction that all blades experience the same amplitude of displacement and stress when excited by forces harmonically related to the rotor speed. However, it has been shown experimentally that significant variations in these amplitudes occur for different blades on the same disk. These variations arise due to the effects of mistuning, which refers to small differences in blade characteristics. In this paper, effects of mistuning for free-standing blades and integral shroud blades are studied by means of Monte Carlo simulation and sensitivity analysis. It is found that weakly coupled systems with low damping are very sensitive to mistuning. Also, the validity of the lumped model used in this paper is examined by comparing the calculated results with experimental data.
