The present review article addresses the vibration behavior of bladed disks encountered eg
in aircraft engines as well as industrial gas and steam turbines. The utilization of the …

Underplatform dampers (UPD) are commonly used in aircraft engines to mitigate the risk of
high-cycle fatigue failure of turbine blades. The energy dissipated at the friction contact …

This paper investigates the effects of fretting wear on frictional contacts. A high frequency
friction rig is used to measure the evolution of hysteresis loops, friction coefficient and …

Vibrating structures, such as gas turbine engines, are assemblages of multiple components
interfaced with each other through physical contact. The friction produced at these contact …

A new framework for modeling the dynamics of bolted structures is proposed that considers
the nonlinear interfacial modeling of bolted structures using multi-scale traction-based …

Underplatform dampers are widely used to dissipate vibration energy and to further prevent
high cycle fatigue in turbine blade systems. The purpose of this work is to improve the …

Real applications in structural mechanics where the dynamic behavior is linear are rare.
Usually, structures are made of components assembled together by means of joints whose …

Turbine bladed disks with friction contacts may have a large scattering of dynamic response
amplitudes in laboratory conditions even for two consecutive tests. The non-repeatability of …

In turbine blade systems, under-platform dampers are widely used to attenuate resonant
vibrations and prevent high cycle fatigue failure depending on friction contact. To effectively …

In jet engines the blade resonant vibration amplitude is normally reduced by increasing the
structural damping by using, for example, tip shrouds. These devices dissipate the energy …
