Mistuning Identification and Model Updating of an Industrial Blisk

The results of a complete study of mistuning identification on an industrial blisk are presented. The identification method used here is based on a modelupdating technique of a reduced order. This reducedorder model is built using component mode synthesis, and mistuning is introduced as perturbations of the cantileveredblade modes. The measured modal data are extracted from global measurements of the blisk's forced response. As we use a single point excitation, this measurement procedure allows the acquisition of all the modes of a given family with a quite simple experimental setup. A selection of the best identified modal data is finally performed. During themistuning identification procedure, these measured data are regularized using an eigenvector assignment technique which reduces the influence of eventual measurement errors. An inverse problem, based on the perturbed (mistuned) modal equation, is defined with measured modes as input and mistuning parameters as unknown. Then, the reducedorder model is updated with the identified mistuning, we first perform a correlation on modal responses (using eigenfrequency deviation criteria and MACs). Finally, correlation results on forced responses are presented and discussed. (C) 2007 D. Laxalde et al.
