A Method for Use of Cyclic Symmetry Properties in Analysis of Nonlinear Multiharmonic Vibrations of Bladed Disks (2003-GT-38480)

An effective method for analysis of periodic forced response of nonlinear cyclically symmetric structures has been developed. The method allows multiharmonic forced response to be calculated for a whole bladed disk using a periodic sector model without any loss of accuracy in calculations and modeling. A rigorous proof of the validity, of the reduction of the whole nonlinear structure to a sector is provided. Types of bladed disk forcing for which the method may be applied are formulated. A multiharmonic formulation and a solution technique for equations of motion have been derived for two cases of description for a linear part of the bladed disk model: (i) using sector finite element matrices and (ii) using sector mode shapes and frequencies. Calculations validating the developed method and a numerical investigation of a realistic high-pressure turbine bladed disk with shrouds have demonstrated the high efficiency of the method
