High-cycle fatigue is one of the most frequent reasons of failure for turbomachinery and in early design process it is crucial to predict the vibration levels. Friction dampers or frictional contacts are commonly used in the design of gas turbine engines in order to decrease vibration levels and increase high-cycle fatigue lives of blades. However, due to the nonlinear behavior, dry friction complicates analysis of these systems. In this study, in order to understand the nonlinear frictional contact behavior which affects the damping characteristics of the shrouded blades, an experimental test setup is designed. The setup consists of a shrouded blade which is excited by a modal shaker and data acquisition system is designed to measure dynamic responses of stationary shrouded blade. The effects of different shroud contact angle, shroud positions along radial direction, normal preload and different excitation forces are investigated on the first bending mode of the blade.

Development of experimental test setups for bladed disks and non-linear vibration
Öney, Eren; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019)
High-cycle fatigue is one of the most frequent reason of failure for turbomachines and in early design process, so it is crucial to predict the vibration levels. Various finite element modelling techniques for bladed-disk systems appear in the literature, including both reducing large size FEM and describing the frictional contact interface. However, not only having a large size FEM but also including the nonlinear friction to models makes the task very struggling and time consuming. In order to enhance the...
Design and development of a modular dynamic test system for resilient mechanical components and viscoelastic materials
Bilgi, Erkin Barış; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2016)
Vibration is a critical phenomenon because unwanted vibration causes energy wasting, noise, premature failure etc. For this reason, control and isolation of vibration has importance. Viscoelastic materials such as plastics, rubbers etc., which show both viscous and elastic behaviors under the effect of stress, are used in many different vibration control and isolation applications. In addition to viscoelastic materials, resilient mechanical components such as springs, vibration mounts etc. are also importan...
Implementation of Dirlik’s damage model for the vibration fatigue analysis
Demirel, Gürzap İ.; Kayran, Altan (2019)
Mechanical fatigue is an important phenomenon when the structures are exposed to dynamic, fluctuating loadings. Especially aerospace structures are commonly exposed to random vibration loadings. In this paper, random vibration fatigue is studied both numerically and experimentally. For this purpose, a rectangular cross-section notched beam is designed in order to conduct the vibration fatigue analysis in the frequency domain by the Dirlik's damage model. Aluminum and steel notched beams are prepared in orde...

Caliskan, Salim; Gürbüz, Rıza (2021-10-01)
In engineering applications, fatigue phenomenon is a key issue and needs to be analyzed in the beginning of design phase in case of any component exposed to alternating loading on operation otherwise catastrophic fatigue failure may cause. Component can be designed with safe life, fail-safe, and damage tolerant approach based on whether redundant load path and damage sensitive. Before starting analyzing the structure, material allowable data needs to be presented in a reliable way to predict fatigue life of...

Keskin, Tamer; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013)
Main objective of this study is to design a compliant mechanism with high frequency and high mechanical amplification ratio to be used for amplifying the stroke of a piezostack actuator. In this thesis, first of all, related literature is investigated and then alternative conceptual designs are established utilizing the mechanisms found in literature survey. Once best conceptual design is selected, detailed design of this mechanism is done. For detailed design of the compliant mechanism, topology optimizati...
