This paper describes an aeroelastic experimental campaign on a low-pressure turbine-
bladed rotor in a rotating wind tunnel that took place as a part of the Advanced Research …

Rotor blade condition monitoring is considered an important aspect of turbomachine
management, especially with the current trend of systems operating at higher speeds, loads …

Blade tip timing (BTT) is a noncontact method for measuring turbomachinery blade vibration.
Proximity sensors are mounted circumferentially around the turbomachine casing and used …

Flutter onset is one of the major causes for increased vibration levels in low pressure turbine
(LPT) rotor blades. This paper describes the design process and the experimental testing of …

As-manufactured rotors behave quite differently than nominal as-designed rotors due to
small geometric and material property deviations in the rotor, referred to as mistuning. The …

This paper is the second part of a two-part paper that presents a comprehensive study of the
higher-order mode (HOM) mistuned forced response of an embedded rotor blisk in a …

The structural dynamics of turbomachinery bladed disks is of paramount importance to
ensure safety and reliability. Due to their sensitivity to mistuning (that is, any deviation from …

A method has been developed for high-accuracy analysis of forced response levels for
mistuned bladed disks vibrating in gas flow. Aerodynamic damping, the interaction of …

In this paper a non-contact excitation system based on electromagnets is described. The
system aims at exciting cyclically symmetric structures like bladed disks by generating …

The main objective of this study is the validation of numerical forced response predictions
through experimental blade vibration measurements for higher order modes of a blade …
