High cycle fatigue (HCF) failure has been studied extensively over the last two decades. Its impact on jet engines is severe enough that may result in engine losses and even life losses. The main requirement for fatigue life predictions is the stress caused by mechanical vibrations. One of the factors which have major impact on the vibratory stresses of bladed disk assemblies is a phenomenon called “mistuning” which is defined as the vibration localization caused by the loss of cyclic periodicity which is a consequence of inter‐blade variations in structural properties. In this thesis, component mode synthesis method (CMSM) is combined with nonlinear forced response analysis in modal domain. Newton‐Raphson and arc length continuation procedures are implemented for the solution. The component mode synthesis method introduces the capability of imposing mistuning on the modal properties of each blade in the assembly. Forced response analysis in modal domain reduces the problem size via mode truncation. The main advantage of the proposed method is that it is capable of calculating nonlinear forced response for all the degrees‐of‐freedom at each blade with less computational effort. This makes it possible to make a stress analysis at resonance conditions. The case studies presented in this thesis emphasize the importance of number of modes retained in the reduced order model for both CMSM and nonlinear forced response analysis. Furthermore, the results of the case studies have shown that both nonlinearity and mistuning can cause shifts in resonance frequencies and changes in resonance amplitudes. Despite the changes in resonance conditions, the shape of the blade motion may not be affected.

In order to understand the effects of structurally induced line of sight (SILOS) jitter (vibration) and to predict its effects on optical system performance, a simple and practical vibratory model and software are developed by using discrete and finite element modeling techniques. For an existing simple optical system, discrete and FE dynamic models are constructed and they are validated by modal tests for the frequency range of interest. In order to find material properties of adhesive, which is used in op...

Fatigue failure of metallic structures operating under dynamic loading is a common occurrence in engineering applications. It is difficult to estimate the response of complicated systems analytically, due to structure̕s dynamic characteristics and varying loadings. Therefore, experimental, numerical or a combination of both methods are used for fatigue evaluations. Fatigue failure can occur on systems and platforms as well as components to be mounted on the platform. In this thesis, a helicopter̕s Missile W...
Dynamic Decoupling of Nonlinear Systems
Kalaycioglu, Taner; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2017-02-02)
Structural decoupling problem has been well investigated for three decades and led to several decoupling methods. In spite of the inherent nonlinearities in a structural system in various forms all decoupling studies are for linear systems. In this study, decoupling problem for nonlinear systems is addressed for the first time and a method is proposed for calculating the frequency response functions of a substructure decoupled from a coupled nonlinear structure where nonlinearity can be modelled as a single...

In this study, experimental investigation of solid propellant combustion instability using an end burning T-Burner setup is performed. For this purpose, a T-Burner setup is designed, analyzed, constructed and tested with all its sub components. T-Burner setup constructed is mainly composed of a base part, a control panel and the T-Burner itself. Combustion chamber, pressure stabilization mechanism, pressurization system, measurement instruments and data acquisition systems form the T-Burner. Pressure stabil...
