The Vibration Attenuation Characteristics of Dynamic Vibration Absorbers Array for Tuned and Mistuned Bladed Disk

Dynamic vibration absorbers array (DVAA) is a newly developed and promising technique for vibration attenuation of integrally bladed disk (blisk) by mounting underneath the disk. In this paper, the vibration attenuation characteristics and energy dissipation mechanism of DVAA for tuned and mistuned blisk are parametrically studied, where the viscous and frictional damping are both considered. The lumped parameter model of a blisk is employed for the convenience of parametrical study. Analytical power flow formulas within the blisk-DVAA system are derived to characterize the dynamic interaction between blisk and DVAA. Four typical modes of a blisk with different nodal diameters and deformation characteristics are selected to evaluate the performance of DVAA. Then, the effects of the mass ratio, the frequency ratio and the damping ratio of DVAA on the vibration of tuned and mistuned blisk are addressed. Numerical results show that a light DVAA can significantly mitigate the resonant amplitudes of the tuned and mistuned blisk. Such damper is effective for the modes with different modal characteristics and can provide robust vibration attenuation performance against random mistuning.

Automated summary

This paper parametrically studies the vibration attenuation characteristics and energy dissipation mechanism of Dynamic Vibration Absorbers Array (DVAA) for tuned and mistuned integrally bladed disk (blisk), considering both viscous and frictional damping. An analytical power flow formula is derived for the dynamic interaction between blisk and DVAA. The numerical results show that a light DVAA can significantly reduce the resonant amplitudes of both tuned and mistuned blisk.
