Vibration analysis of shrouded bladed disk systems often becomes expensive due to friction nonlinearities and randomness stemming from mistuning phenomena. This implies a great demand for a highly efficient model order reduction technique to not only reduce the computational effort but, more importantly, provide reliable displacement predictions on certain degrees of freedom (shrouds). The latter becomes more critical in bladed disks with shroud contacts, since the promising results from contact models are limited by the accuracy of displacements predicted by reduced-order models for shroud degrees of freedom. In this study, some notable reduction of order methodologies based on substructuring, namely, fixed interface (Craig-Bampton), free interface (Rubin), and dual Craig-Bampton, and the mixed interface method, which is a combination of free and fixed interface methods, are investigated. The center of attention in this work is the modal contributions of components to the final result and the influence of modal characteristics of substructures on the efficiency of a particular reduction technique. To this end, the methods are examined by a different number of retained modes. The effect of adding up more vibration modes to the reduction basis on the accuracy and computational cost for each reduction technique is compared for predefined error tolerance. It is concluded that the physical characteristics of the blade and disk components significantly affect the forced response of the bladed disk system. Consequently, it can be capitalized on to find a more effective reduction technique for the specific geometry of shrouded blisks to address high computational cost and accurate forced response required in specific areas.

A theoretical study of chemical doping and width effect on zigzag graphene nanoribbons
Pekoz, Rengin; Erkoç, Şakir (Elsevier BV, 2009-12-01)
The energetics and the electronic properties of nitrogen- and boron-doped graphene nanoribbons with zigzag edges have been investigated using density functional theory calculations. For the optimized geometry configurations, vibrational frequency analysis and wavefunction stability tests have been carried out. Different doping site optimizations for a model nanoribbon have been performed and formation energy values of these sites revealed that zigzag edgesite for both of the dopants were the most favorable ...
A comparative study for synthesis methods of nano-structured (9Ni-2Mg-Y) alloy catalysts and effect of the produced alloy on hydrogen desorption properties of MgH2
Pourabdoli, Mehdi; Raygan, Shahram; Abdizadeh, Hossein; Üner, Deniz (Elsevier BV, 2013-12-13)
9Ni-2Mg-Y alloy powders were prepared by arc melting, induction melting, mechanical alloying, solid state reaction and subsequent ball milling processes. The results showed that melting processes are not suitable for preparation of 9Ni-2Mg-Y alloy due to high losses of Mg and Y. Therefore, 9Ni-2Mg-Y alloy powder was prepared by three methods including: 1) mechanical alloying, 2) mechanical alloying + solid state reaction + ball milling, and 3) mixing + solid state reaction + ball milling. The prepared 9Ni-2...
A Comparison of Velocity Skin Effect Modeling With 2-D Transient and 3-D Quasi-Transient Finite Element Methods
Tosun, Nail; Ceylan, Doga; Polat, Hakan; Keysan, Ozan (2021-04-01)
The analysis of the velocity skin effect (VSE) in electromagnetic launchers (EMLs) requires a 3-D transient finite element method, unlike magnetic skin and proximity effects. However, VSE is dominant at high speeds, and this creates convergence problems when moving or deformed mesh physics is used in a transient FEM in the 3-D analysis. Commercial finite element software cannot solve the electromagnetic aspects of such a high-speed application with a transient solver in 3-D. Although 2-D approximations can ...
A weak-form spectral Chebyshev technique for nonlinear vibrations of rotating functionally graded beams
Lotfan, Saeed; Dedekoy, Demir; Bediz, Bekir; Ciğeroğlu, Ender (2023-02-01)
This study presents the spectral Chebyshev technique (SCT) for nonlinear vibrations of rotating beams based on a weak formulation. In addition to providing a fast-converging and precise solution for linear vibrations of structures with complex geometry, material, and physics, this method is further advanced to be able to analyze the nonlinear vibration behavior of continuous systems. Rotational motion and material gradation further complicate this nonlinear behavior. Accordingly, the beam is considered to b...
