A
computationally efficient methodology to predict the nonlinear response
of bladed disks with dry friction ring dampers is proposed. Friction is
one of the common ways to add damping. Designing frictional interfaces
for bladed disks systems is an important means adopted to dissipate
vibration energy. Placement of dry friction dampers between blades or
under the blades is a widely used technique. One of the recently
emerging technologies uses ring dampers. These are ring-like
substructures constrained to move inside a groove at or under the root
of the blades. Such rings are in contact with the disk due to
centrifugal forces, and they create nonlinear dissipation by rubbing
against the disk.
