  • Patent number: 8286347
    Abstract: A method for reducing vibration levels in a turbomachine including at least a first and a second bladed wheel, due to aerodynamic perturbations that are produced by the second bladed wheel or an obstacle on the first bladed wheel is disclosed. The method includes: defining an initial configuration of the blades; calculating the synchronous forced response on the first bladed wheel as a function of the harmonic excitation force produced by the second bladed wheel expressed in the form of a linear function of the generalized aerodynamic force for the mode considered; determining a geometric tangential shift value ? for the stacked cross sections of one of the two wheels to reduce the corresponding term to the generalized aerodynamic force. The set of cross sections with the tangential shifts thus defines a new configuration of the blades of one of the two wheels.

  • Publication number: 20080206058
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for reducing vibration levels likely to occur in a turbomachine comprising at least a first and a second bladed wheel, where the two wheels are moving relative to one another about an axis of rotation and a gaseous fluid is passing over them, due to perturbations of an aerodynamic origin that are produced by the second bladed wheel or an obstacle on the first bladed wheel. The method includes the following steps in the design of said two bladed wheels: an initial configuration of the blades is defined; the synchronous forced response on the first bladed wheel is calculated as a function of the harmonic excitation force produced by the second bladed wheel expressed in the form of a linear function of the generalized aerodynamic force for the mode considered; a geometric tangential shift value ? is determined for the stacked cross sections of one of the two wheels so as to reduce the corresponding term to the generalized aerodynamic force.
