The damping arrangement 32 is configured such that when the magnetic field is induced, any movement of the blade 20 other than pure rotation about the central axis results in the magnetic field causing a force to be exerted on the blade 20 , the force resisting such movement. The damping arrangement may be provided with means for inducing the magnetic field only when there is an increased likelihood of vibration of the blades, for example when a foreign body has entered the air intake of the engine.

The vibration damping blade for fluid of the present invention has an integrally formed wedge damper, in which a thickness h(x) at a distance x from an imaginary line outside of an outer edge is h(x)=εx n (where ε is a positive constant, and n is a real number of 1 or more). As a result, it is possible to offer a vibration damping blade for fluid which can be easily manufactured, and which obtains damping effects across a wide range of frequency regions without disturbing the flow of fluid.

Vibration damper

Номер: US20130309097A1
Автор: David Miller
Принадлежит: Rolls Royce PLC

Vibration damping is important with regard to such components as hollow turbine blades in gas turbine engines. Traditionally damping has occurred through damping elements secured at the root or tip of such blades. Such damping is not optimised and results in potential problems with wear in operational life. By providing a tube of deformable material which can be located within a hollow cavity it is possible to provide an element which through friction engagement can absorb vibration energy and therefore damp such vibration. The tube incorporates a number of cuts and/or grooves in an appropriate pattern in order to define a deformation profile once the tube is expanded in location. The tube is secured in position internally upon an expandable element which is typically an inflatable device. Once in position the tube is retained in its expanded deformable profile and the engagement between the tube and the hollow cavity wall surface results in energy absorption through vibration episodes. It is also possible to provide a tube formed from a shape memory alloy which will expand of its own right in location to engage the hollow cavity wall surfaces for energy absorption during vibration episodes.

The leading edge, the trailing edge, or both may be axially offset for a portion of the airfoils in a disk. By offsetting the airfoils, the downstream wake energy to the next stage of airfoils may be decreased. By staggering airfoils which are offset with airfoils that are not offset, the wake shapes from the airfoils may be out of phase and will not excite the downstream airfoils as much as conventional systems. This may decrease vibration and associated vibratory stresses in the system.
