Modeling and analysis of the dynamics of dry-friction-damped structural systems

Poudou, Olivier 15 June 2007 (has links) (PDF)
The benefits of intentional friction damping to reduce the occurrence of wear and premature failure of turbomachinery bladed-disk assemblies are well known and many studies on this topic have focused on the analysis and prediction of the complicated nonlinear forced response exhibited by these structures. In this research, extensions of the recently introduced multi-harmonic Hybrid Frequency-Time method are proposed for the efficient analysis of the response of realistic structures featuring displacement-dependent nonlinearities, such as the friction and impact phenomena that may occur in the presence of friction dampers or when two parts of the same structure periodically contact each other. These theoretical extensions are adapted to the study of large scale, industrial bladed-disk structures that may feature cyclic symmetry or mistuning. Two analysis techniques are developed for the modeling of displacement-dependent nonlinearities. In the first technique friction dampers are modeled as nonlinear operators representing the contact forces acting on the blades, from the simple case of monodirectional friction with constant normal load to the more complex case of three dimensional contact with variable normal load. The analysis of the forced response of several nonlinear systems illustrates the capabilities of this approach as well as the complexity of the typical behavior exhibited by friction damped structures. The second technique introduced helps analyze structures experiencing intermittent contact or friction between two parts or sub-components of the same assembly. This method is applied to the study of the forced response of several simple systems and is used with great efficiency to predict the nonlinear behavior of a beam with a crack. This approach also allows the dampers to be modeled realistically as stand-alone components appended to the bladed disk assembly. In this case the bladed disk assembly as well as the friction dampers are modeled as independent structures that interact at their contacting interfaces. This allows the use of detailed finite element models of dampers rather than having to make simplifying assumptions regarding their geometry. These two methods are applied to the study of the nonlinear forced response a realistic bladed-disk assembly featuring a wedge damper model and a structure-like damper model.
