Abstract: Accurate prediction of the vibration response of aircraft engine assemblies is of great importance when estimating both the performance and the lifetime of their individual components. In the case of underplatform dampers, ...

Abstract: Linear dynamic finite element analysis can be considered very reliable today for the design of aircraft engine components. Unfortunately, when these individual components are built into assemblies, the level of confidence ...

Abstract: High-cycle fatigue failures of fan blade systems due to vibrational loads are of great concern in the design of aeroengines, where energy dissipation by the relative frictional motion in the dovetail joints provides the ...
