Patent number: 11035385Abstract: A rotor for a gas turbine is disclosed which includes alternating first and second set of rotor blades, the first set of rotor blades having a baseline profile and the second set of rotor blades having a profile with a cutback relative to the baseline profile, the cutback defining a removed portion of the baseline profile surrounding a maximum deflection point of a selected natural vibration mode. The cutback may be a leading edge cutback at a span position located a distance away from the hub between 20% and 50% of the total span length. The selected natural vibration mode may be a natural vibration mode higher than the 1st natural vibration mode, more specifically may be the 5t? natural vibration mode.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2019Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: PRATT & WHITNEY CANADA CORP.Inventors: Ignatius Theratil, Krishna Balike

Patent number: 10823203Abstract: A rotor for a gas turbine is disclosed which includes alternating first and second set of rotor blades, the first set of rotor blades having a baseline profile and the second set of rotor blades having a profile with a cutback relative to the baseline profile, the cutback removing a portion of the baseline profile surrounding a maximum deflection point of a selected natural vibration mode. The cutback may be a tip trailing edge cutback at a span position located a distance away from the hub of at least 75% of the total span length. The selected natural vibration mode may be a natural vibration mode higher than the 1st natural vibration mode, more specifically may be the 3rd or 6th natural vibration mode.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2017Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: PRATT & WHITNEY CANADA CORP.Inventors: Ignatius Theratil, Krishna Balike

Patent number: 10634169Abstract: A rotor for a gas turbine is disclosed which includes alternating first and second set of rotor blades, the first set of rotor blades having a baseline profile and the second set of rotor blades having a profile with a cutback relative to the baseline profile, the cutback removing a portion of the baseline profile surrounding a maximum deflection point of a natural vibration mode. The cutback may be a leading edge cutback at a span position located a distance away from the hub between 50% and 90% of the total span length. The natural vibration mode may be a natural vibration mode higher than the 1st natural vibration mode, more specifically may be the 4th natural vibration mode.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: PRATT & WHITNEY CANADA CORP.Inventors: Ignatius Theratil, Krishna Balike
