In the present paper, an experimental setup for structural damping determination arising from energy dissipations within the material is presented. The experimental setup is developed in such a way that all unintended ...

To assess the influence of mistuning on the vibration amplitudes of turbo-machinery rotors, reduced order models (ROMs) are widely used. A variety of methods are available for single-stage configurations and mostly ...

A new contact model is proposed to simulate the forced response of a two degree of freedom mechanical model which resembles the simplest form of a friction damped turbine blade. The model scales a measured friction hysteresis ...
