Strength of Materials Aims and scope

The paper presents the results of simulations and experimental investigations on natural frequencies and oscillation modes of pairwise-shrouded cooled turbine blades and their rings with allowance for a possible frequency mistuning and the assured contact of mating surfaces of the root and shroud platform halves. As the research object, the high-pressure turbine wheel of an aircraft bypass turbojet engine has been selected. 3D finite element models of the turbine wheel blades/ period were developed as a system with structural rotational symmetry. The contact interaction between blades over the mating surfaces was modeled on basis of solving the stationary problem. The calculation-and-experimental investigations were performed for two operating conditions of the engine – the non-running engine and the steady-state maximum take-off condition. Results have been cited for individual, isolated blades. The results show a good agreement between calculated and experimental data. The frequency mistuning of those blades is found to be considerably dependent on oscillation mode number, but the mistuning value is practically not affected by the operating condition of the engine. It is confirmed that two oscillation modes are excited in the blade pair as a regular system in the presence of the mistuning of their frequencies, which are close to the inphase and antiphase frequencies. The ratio of natural frequencies of those oscillation modes is dependent on oscillation mode of isolated blades. It is shown that the frequency mistuning of paired blades due to excitation of two oscillation (inphase and antiphase) modes causes doubling of the number of resonant states of the turbine wheel what must be considered when developing methods to ensure their vibrational reliability.
