  1. 6. Experimental Investigation of Three-Dimensional Mechanisms in Low-Pressure Turbine Flutter

    Author : Damian Vogt; Torsten Fransson; Robert Kielb; KTH; []
    Keywords : Life sciences and physical sciences; turbomachinery; flutter; aeroelastic instability; aeroelastic testing; CFD; linearized unsteady numerical method; 3D aerodynamic effects; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : The continuous trend in gas turbine design towards lighter, more powerful and more reliable engines on one side and use of alternative fuels on the other side renders flutter problems as one of the paramount challenges in engine design. Flutter denotes a self-excited and self-sustained aeroelastic instability phenomenon that can lead to material fatigue and eventually damage of structure in a short period of time unless properly damped.

  2. 7. Sensitivity of Aeroelastic Properties of an Oscillating LPT Cascade

    Author : Nenad Glodic; Damian Vogt; Matthew Montgomery; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; flutter; aeroelastic response; combined modes; bending-torsion flutter; mode superposition; aerodynamic asymmetries; ROM; probabilistic analysis;

    Abstract : Modern turbomachinery design is characterized by a tendency towards thinner, lighter and highly loaded blades, which in turn gives rise to increased sensitivity to flow induced vibration such as flutter. Flutter is a self-excited and self-sustained instability phenomenon that may lead to structural failure due to High Cycle Fatigue (HCF) or material overload. READ MORE

  3. 8. Experimental Investigation of the Influence of Local Flow Features on the Aerodynamic Damping of an Oscillating Blade Row

    Author : Antonio Sanz Luengo; Torsten Fransson; Damian Vogt; Guillermo Paniagua; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Turbomachinery; Aeroelasticity; Flutter; Experimental Aerodynamics; CFD; Local Flow Features; Influence Coefficient; Linearity Assumption; Aerospace Engineering; Flyg- och rymdteknik;

    Abstract : The general trend of efficiency increase, weight and noise reduction has derived in the design of more slender, loaded, and 3D shaped blades. This has a significant impact on the stability of fan, and low pressure turbine blades, which are more prone to aeroelastic phenomena such as flutter. READ MORE

  4. 9. Modelling Microslip Friction Damping and its Influence on Turbine Blade Vibrations

    Author : Gabor Csaba; A. V. Srinivasan; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : A common failure mode for turbomachinery is high-cycle fatigue of compressor and turbine blades, due to high dynamic stresses caused by blade vibration resonance within the operating range of the machinery. A large number of engine shut-downs can be explained by blade failure caused by resonance vibration or flutter. READ MORE

  5. 10. Numerical investigation of blade flutter at or near stall in axial turbomachines

    Author : Wolfgang Höhn; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : During the design of the compressor and turbine stages oftoday's aeroengines aerodynamically induced vibrations becomeincreasingly important since higher blade load and betterefficiency are desired. Aerodynamically induced vibrations inturbomachines can be classified into two general categories,i.e. READ MORE
