Analysis of bifurcations in multiharmonic analysis of nonlinear forced vibrations of gas-turbine engine structures with friction and gaps

摘要

An efficient frequency-domain method has been developed to analyse the forced response of large-scale nonlinear gas-turbine structures with bifurcations. The method allows: detection and localization of the design and operating conditions sets where bifurcations occur; calculation of tangents to the solution trajectory and continuation of solutions under parameter variation for structures with bifurcations. \udThe method is aimed at calculation of steady-state periodic solution and multiharmonic representation of the variation of displacements in time is used. The possibility of bifurcations in realistic gas-turbine structures with friction contacts and with cubic nonlinearity has been shown.
