Mistuning effects evaluation on turbomachine dynamic behaviour using genetic algorithms

Abstract

This paper presents a new approach to evaluating the mistuning effects on turbomachinery blades that is classified as neither deterministic nor statistical — it is based on the employment of genetic algorithms. A genetic algorithm has been exploited to find the structurally mistuned configuration that leads to the maximum value of blade vibration amplitude for an assigned domain of variations. A test case has been fixed and subjected to an assigned forcing field; the target of the test case was to perform a smart search of the worst mistuned configuration. The test case was a twenty-blade disc on which one thousand forced frequency response analyses have been performed. A comparison with the results, based on the Monte Carlo methods, proved the suitability and the relevance of the proposed approach. The investigation has demonstrated the applicability of this new possible engineering approach to the study of systems with uncertain properties.
