Blade reduced model considering local contact and analyzing blade vibration characteristics

A dynamic model of a tenoned rotating blade considering the pressure distribution characteristics of the contact interface is established and the degree of freedom of the model is reduced by the double coordination free-interface modal synthesis method in this paper. Firstly, the finite element model of the blade is established by ANSYS and the finite element matrix is extracted. Subsequently, multiple contact pairs were established on the contact surface of the tenon to capture the micro-slip characteristics of the contact interface. The normal pressure of the contact pair is obtained by the ANSYS blade-disk contact prediction and load equivalence to take the pressure distribution characteristics into account in the blade dynamics analysis. Then, non-uniform aerodynamic excitation is applied to the blade to simulate the load on the blade under real working conditions. Finally, the double coordination free-interface modal synthesis method is used to reduce the degree of freedom. Due to the coordination condition of the force and displacement of the substructure connection interface, the degree of freedom of the substructure interface is directly reduced. The final reduced degree of freedom is only the sum of the retained modes of the substructure, which greatly improves the computational efficiency. The dynamic equation is solved by the time integration method, and the effects of the tenon angle, rounded corner, and friction coefficient are discussed. The results show that the double coordination free -interface modal synthesis method can greatly reduce the degree of freedom of the tenon -connected blade model under the premise of ensuring accuracy while retaining the local con-tact characteristics of the contact interface. The structural parameters of the dovetail structure have a great influence on the vibration reduction characteristics of the blade. When designing the tenon structure, it is necessary to pay attention to these parameters.
