Abstract: A characteristic feature of nonlinear vibrations is the energy transfer among different parts or modes of a mechanical system. Moreover, nonlinear vibrations are often non-periodic, even at steady state. To analyze these ...

Abstract: Dry friction devices such as underplatform dampers are commonly included in turbine bladed disks designs to mitigate structural vibrations and avoid high cycle fatigue failures. The design of frictionally damped bladed ...

Abstract: In this paper, a validation approach for a turbine blade component test with frictional contacts is presented. The investigated system is derived from a high cycle fatigue test setup, where a turbine blade is base-excited ...
