Abstract

Intentional mistuning is the deliberate incorporation of blade-to-blade parameter variations in the nominal design of a bladed disk. Previous studies have shown that this is a promising strategy for mitigating the damaging effects of unintended, random mistuning. In this paper, the mechanisms of intentional mistuning are studied by investigating the relation between blade response and vibration energy flow in lumped parameter models. Based on key observations from the energy flow analysis, a few design guidelines are proposed that drastically reduce the design space for intentional mistuning patterns. Thus, an optimization may be performed on the reduced design space or skipped altogether, yielding dramatic reductions in computational costs. The guidelines are validated by extensive Monte Carlo simulations for the lumped parameter models as well as for a finite-element-based reduced-order model of an industrial rotor. It is shown that the reduced design space includes optimal or near-optimal intentional mistuning patterns.
