A New Method of Reducing the Vibration Localization of the Multi-packet Whole Mistuned Bladed Disk System Using Bladed Packets

Multi-packet whole bladed disks are found in some turbo engines. At the same time, mistuning of blades is inevitable and it will lead to the vibration localization in which vibration energy mainly locates in some blades in the bladed disk system. It can accelerate the high cycle fatigue of the bladed disk. It is critical to search for an efficient way to control the level of vibration localization of the mistuned bladed disk system. Therefore, in this paper, a new method of reducing the vibration localization of the mistuned bladed disk system using bladed packets is studied. A mathematical model is developed in which a coupling stiffness is introduced to describe the coupling relationship due to bladed packets. The effect of bladed packets on the vibration localization of the whole mistuned bladed disk is discussed. The results indicate that the bladed packet can really reduce the degree of the vibration localization of bladed disk. The relationship between the coupling strength of blade to blade and the vibration localization is researched. Moreover, different number of bladed packets of the mistuned bladed disk on the vibration localization of the mistuned bladed disk is investigated for researching the optimal multi-packet structures.
