description This paper focuses on the contact characteristics of the blade root joints subjected to the dry friction damping under periodic excitation. The numerical method and experimental procedure are combined to trace the contact behavior in the nonlinear vibration conditions. In experimental procedure, a novel excitation method alongside the accurate measurements is used to determine the frequencies of the blade under different axial loads. In numerical simulations, local behavior of contact areas is investigated using the reduction method as a reliable and fast solver. Subsequently, by using both experimental measurements and numerical outcomes in a developed code, the global stiffness matrix is calculated. This leads to find the normal and tangential stiffness in the contact areas of a dovetail blade root joints. The results indicate that the proposed method can provide an accurate quantitative assessment for investigation the dynamic response of the joints with focusing the contact areas.
