Abstract
The torsion flutter and forced response of tuned and mistuned cascades is examined using a standing wave approach, as opposed to the traditional traveling wave approach used in cascades aerodynamic models. The motion of the blades and the corresponding cascade aerodynamic loads are expressed in terms of standing wave modes and arbitrary transient motion, by fitting the sinusoidal force coefficients in terms of ratios of polynomials in the Laplace transform variable, sometimes referred to as Pade approximants. Whitehead's two dimensional, incompressible aerodynamic model is expressed in this transient form and is used to solve the flutter and forced response problems. Results obtained with the transient, standing wave analysis for the flutter and forced response are similar to those obtained by traveling wave analyses, but they yield the transient decay rate associated with vibrations of the blades, as opposed to the structural damping required for flutter obtained by the traveling method. The standing wave analysis presented here may prove to be more versatile for dealing with certain applications such as mistuned rotors, "localized" blade flutter, low engine order excitation, transient impulses on the rotor, and coupling in with forced response and dynamic shaft problems.
