Description
Summary:A description of the stand based on a digital speckle interferometer with a diffuse reference wave and separated branches is given, which allows determining the natural frequencies and vibration modes of objects in real time. In the frequency range 100...4000 Hz, an experimental study of the vibration characteristics of a turbine rotor blade of a gas turbine engine was carried out, with rigid fastening of the blade fir tree part, which was achieved by fixing the blade in the lock and then fixing it in the clamping device. In the frequency range from 100 to 4000 Hz, 9 blade vibration modes were identified. The object of the study is the turbine rotor blade of a gas turbine engine with a height along the trailing edge of 288 mm and a chord in the middle section of 88.5 mm. A solid-state geometric model of a rotor blade based on a faceted body obtained from 3D scanning has been created. Concerning the frequency range 100...4000 Hz, using the ANSYS Workbench software package, a series of calculations of the resonant frequencies of the blade by the finite element method was carried out. Many vibration modes have been obtained, and the data obtained from experiments and calculations have been compared. The analysis of the spectrum of the natural vibration frequencies of the blade showed that the root-mean-square value of the deviations between the results obtained is 5.5% for the same modes. To verify the software calculation, the values of the resonance frequencies were recalculated using a three-dimensional model of the blade fixed in the lock. To determine the influence of the boundary conditions for fixing a gas turbine blade on its vibration characteristics, a series of calculations of the resonance frequencies and vibration modes of the blade model with cutting off a part of the blade at different heights was carried out. It is shown that cutting off the fir tree part of the blade root when modeling the boundary conditions of fixing makes it possible to simplify the calculation process by simplifying the geometry of the three-dimensional model of the blade under study, with a minimum loss of calculation accuracy.
