Experimental Validation of a Model Update Procedure Focusing on Small Geometric Deviations

  • This contribution presents a model update procedure and its experimental validation using the example of a blade integrated disk rotor. This so called blisk is discretized using the finite element method. It is well known that numerical blisk models based on the ideal tuned design show major differences in structural dynamic behavior compared to the real rotor. In this context a modification of the mechanical simulation model should lead to a better accordance of numerical results and the real blisk characteristics. The described model update procedure utilizes data of an optical 3D measurement system. Using this data enables to identify geometric deviations between the ideal design and its real counterpart. Within the update procedure the originally tuned finite element mesh is modified in order to match the measured geometry of the real part. This is done by defining several morph regions. The outer surface nodes of these morph regions change their position along the surface normal vector untilThis contribution presents a model update procedure and its experimental validation using the example of a blade integrated disk rotor.

The described model update procedure utilizes data of an optical 3D measurement system. Using this data enables to identify geometric deviations between the ideal design and its real counterpart. Within the update procedure the originally tuned finite element mesh is modified in order to match the measured geometry of the real part. This is done by defining several morph regions. The outer surface nodes of these morph regions change their position along the surface normal vector until they meet the defined deviation constraint. Based on eigenvalue calculations employing free boundary conditions the sensitivity of structural dynamic behavior is shown with respect to small geometric changes. Finally computed eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the updated simulation model are compared with vibration measurement data. A laser Doppler vibrometer is used to detect the vibration responses of the impact excited structure. All experiments are carried out under technical vacuum conditions in order to minimize ambient air damping. In the context of an experimental modal analysis this low damping condition helps to identify more natural frequencies of the investigated structure. This leads to a much more efficient model validation.show moreshow less
