Abstract

This paper focuses on the nonlinear oscillations and the steady-state responses of a thin-walled compressor blade of gas turbine engines with varying rotating speed under high-temperature supersonic gas flow. The rotating compressor blade is modeled as a pre-twisted, presetting, thin-walled rotating cantilever beam. The model involves the geometric nonlinearity, the centrifugal force, the aerodynamic load and the perturbed angular speed due to periodically varying air velocity. Using Hamilton’s principle, the nonlinear partial differential governing equation of motion is derived for the pre-twisted, presetting, thin-walled rotating beam. The Galerkin’s approach is utilized to discretize the partial differential governing equation of motion to a two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear system. The method of multiple scales is applied to obtain the four-dimensional nonlinear averaged equation for the resonant case of 2:1 internal resonance and primary resonance. Numerical simulations are presented to investigate nonlinear oscillations and the steady-state responses of the rotating blade under combined parametric and forcing excitations. The results of numerical simulation, which include the phase portrait, waveform and power spectrum, illustrate that there exist both periodic and chaotic motions of the rotating blade. In addition, the frequency response curves are also presented. Based on these curves, we give a detailed discussion on the contributions of some factors, including the nonlinearity, damping and rotating speed, to the steady-state nonlinear responses of the rotating blade.
