Abstract: An impeller including a blade, a support of the blade which extends substantially radially, at least one intermediate part extending, in a substantially axial direction, between the blade and the support of the blade, and at least one damping device placed on at least one face of the intermediate part is disclosed. The damping device is segmented in an axial and/or circumferential direction into at least two elementary damping devices.

Abstract: A method to introduce a deliberate mismatch into a turbomachine bladed wheel so as to reduce vibration amplitudes of the wheel in forced response. The method includes a step of determining an optimum value of the standard deviation for the mismatch as a function of operating conditions of the wheel inside the turbomachine, with respect to the maximum vibration amplitude response required on the wheel. The method further includes a step of at least partly placing blades with different natural frequencies on the wheel such that the standard deviation of the frequency distribution of all blades is equal to at least the mismatch value, the mismatch value being determined statistically.

Abstract: The impeller comprises a blade and a support of said blade which extend substantially radially. It also comprises at least one intermediate part extending, in a substantially axial direction, between said blade and said support of the blade, and at least one damping means placed on at least one face of said intermediate part. The damping means is segmented in an axial and/or circumferential direction into at least two elementary damping means.

Abstract: A method of reducing vibration in a structure comprising at least one rotor (101j) and a fixed set of sources of disturbance (102j) liable to give rise to disturbances in the fluid flow (11) that cause the rotor to vibrate, the method comprising a step of distributing the fixed sources of disturbance angularly in non-uniform manner so as to reduce the amplitude of excitation as seen by the rotor, and a step which consists in verifying that the maximum amplitude of a response of the rotor to the excitation is obtained by: determining a first signal whose Fourier transform corresponds to the frequency spectrum of the excitation in the event of the fixed sources of disturbance being distributed in a predetermined angular distribution; by modifying the first signal into a second signal adapted to said selected angular distribution for the fixed sources of disturbance; by determining the frequency spectrum of the excitation by calculating the Fourier transform of the second signal; and by calculating the respon
