Dynamic coupling vibration of rotating shaft–disc–blade system — Modeling, mechanism analysis and numerical study

Abstract This study aims at revealing the coupling vibration mechanism of RSDB system. First, a comprehensive coupling dynamic model of RSDB system including the shaft bending, shaft torsion, blade bending, and blade radial deformation is formulated based on continuum beam theory and Lagrange equation. The validity of the proposed dynamic model is verified through a comparison with FEM and experimental results. Second, the general coupling mechanism of RSDB system is theoretically interpreted based on the proposed analytical coupling vibration model, which indicates that the blade vibration and shaft vibration, especially the shaft torsion vibration and blade bending vibration, may affects each other significantly. At last, the steady-state coupling vibration responses and the effects of structure parameters on the coupling vibration of RSDB system are comparatively investigated through numerical investigations. The comparative results suggest that the blade setting angle, blade–blade coupling stiffness, and the disc location on shaft will greatly affect the coupling vibrations. It worth more attention that the general coupling vibration mechanism obtained by analytical analysis and the results obtained by numerical study can be cross-verified by each other.
