Modal Research of a Certain Type of Gas Turbine Rotor

Abstract

Abstract At present, one of the bottlenecks that currently restrict the reliability and lifetime of the whole machine is the rotor-bearing system of gas turbines. This paper firstly introduces the background of gas turbines and the current research situation, and then carries out 3D modelling using UG (Unigraphics NX) software according to the available 2D drawings of the original rotor and relevant parameters. In view of the complex structure of the original rotor and the technical problems in the actual installation process, the original bearing-rotor system was modified and modelled in 3D as well, followed by modal analysis and Campbell diagrams based on Ansys Workbench software. Finally, the simulation results were compared with the theoretical results to verify the feasibility of the scheme and to provide theoretical support for the subsequent 1:1 gas turbine rotor-bearing performance test-bed for the comprehensive performance experimental study of the research and development of gas turbine bearings.
