Intentionally frequency mistuned turbine blades
Abstract:
A new, more economical design for intentionally frequency mistuned turbine blades for more efficient turbine engines is disclosed. A rotating disk of a turbine engine includes first turbine blades that alternate between second turbine blades. The second turbine blades are thicker than the first turbine blades, within manufacturing tolerances, in sections from about their mean line to their airfoil tip. The first and second turbine blades can be cast using two different molds, resulting in an economical manufacturing method. As such, the natural frequency of the second turbine blades is about 3% less than the natural frequency of the first turbine blades. As a result of the intentional difference in natural frequencies of the two different turbine blades, the rotating disk does not experience flutter instability.
