Aeroelastic forced response of a bladed drum from a low pressure compressorLamouroux, Julien January 2016 (has links)
The purpose of this master thesis is to provide a reliable methodology to predict the forced response of a monoblock bladed drum from a low pressure compressor. Pre-test forced response calculations have already been made at Techspace Aero in 2013. Now that experimental data are available, the methodology has to be adapted to ensure the best numerical-experimental correlation possible. The final goal is that, at the end of the thesis, engineers at Techspace Aero will be able to launch reliable forced response simulations within a short amount of time. For the sake of confidentiality, some data are not revealed, such as the engine name, some numerical values (forced response, aerodynamic damping, frequency of the mode etc…) and axis scales. In this paper, the study focuses on the forced response of a rotor blade from the first stage under the excitation from the upstream stator. The mode under investigation is the 2S2, the one that responded during the experiment. The TWIN approach is used to compute the forced response of the rotor blade. With this approach, a steady stage computation has first to be carried on as an initialization. Then two unsteady computations are necessary. The first, without blade motion, will provide the excitation aerodynamic forces. The aerodynamic damping will be extracted from the second one, where the motion of the blade is imposed on a given eigenmode. The forced response can then be computed with these two results and some additional structural data. The results will be compared to the experimental value.

Passive and Active Strategies for Vibration Control of Lightly Damped StructuresPaknejad Seyedahmadian, Ahmad 18 June 2021 (has links) (PDF)
Lightweight designs in engineering applications give rise to flexible structures with extremely low internal damping. Vibrations of these flexible structures due to an unwanted excitation of system resonances may lead to high cycle fatigue failure and noise propagation. A common method to suppress the vibrations is to increase the damping of the system using one of the classical control techniques i.e. passive, active, and/or hybrid. Passive techniques are those control systems that are simply integrated into the structures with no need of external power source for their operations, like viscoelastic damping, piezoelectric and electromagnetic shunt damping, tuned mass damper, etc. However, the control performance of these systems, in terms of the damping ratio and the robustness to uncertainties, is highly limited to the system properties. For example, viscoelastic damping may not perform well at low frequencies and the performance of shunt damping is dependent on the electromechanical coupling between the structure and the transducer. To overcome the limitations associated with passive controls, it has been proposed to use active control systems, which are less sensitive to the system's parameters, to improve the control performance. It requires an integration of sensors and actuators with a feedback loop containing control laws. However, the high requirement of the external power source is not favorable for engineering applications where energy efficiency is the key parameter. The combination of active and passive strategies, known as hybrid control systems, can provide a fail-safe configuration with a high control performance and low power consumption. The price to pay for such configurations is the complexity of the design. This doctoral thesis first investigates the conceptual designs of all kinds of classical control systems for a simplified mechanical system. They include 1) the passive shunt using an electromagnetic transducer, 2) the active control system using positive and negative feedback, and 3) the hybrid electromagnetic shunt damper using both an active voltage source as well as an active current source. The next part of this thesis is focused on bladed structures as real-life applications which highly require vibration control due to their low internal damping. Because of practical reasons, piezoelectric transducers are used for the application of control systems. The finite element model of the structure is made first without piezoelectric patches to optimize the best locations of piezoelectric patches. Then, the model is updated with the piezoelectric patches to numerically simulate different control strategies. The experiments are performed to validate the numerical designs. / Doctorat en Sciences de l'ingénieur et technologie / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
