Research on vibration isolation optimization design technology for the articulated link mount of turbofan engine

Abstract

Abstract As an important structure connecting the aircraft and the engine, the turbofan engine mount often adopts a hinged multi-link mechanism, and its dynamic performance directly affects the transmission of engine vibrations to the fuselage. To study and improve the vibration isolation performance of this type of mount system, this paper proposes an optimization strategy based on modal design ideas, which takes the minimum distance between the natural frequencies of the mount system and the excitation frequency as the optimization objective, seeks the parameter solution that maximizes the optimization objective, and uses genetic algorithms to carry out optimization analysis. The results show that through optimization analysis, the effective vibration isolation range of the system is increased by approximately 125% near the excitation frequency of the low-pressure rotor; at the excitation frequency of the low-pressure rotor, the system transfer rate is reduced by approximately 58.4%; after optimization, due to the overall frequency deviation of the installation section system from the excitation frequency, the impact of small perturbations of the main parameters on its transfer rate is generally lower, with a maximum decrease of approximately 17.3%, greatly improving the robustness of the system.
