Abstract
Some rotors are bent permanently due to high operating temperatures, repeated transition periods, and so on. Rotors with large deformations often require straightening processes. The goal of this study is to develop a method to determine the optimal locations and strengths of hammer peening for straightening gas turbine rotors. A set of parametric hammer peening simulations were performed for various dimensions of straight rotors and peening locations. The deformed geometries of the rotor from the parametric simulations were presented as curvature vectors. These curvature vectors were fitted using an empirical function. For a given initial geometry of the rotor and hammer peening plans, the post-peening geometry of the rotor was predicted by superimposing the initial curvature and newly induced curvature. An optimization statement was defined to determine a set of hammer peening locations and strengths. Constraints were imposed to exclude areas where hammer peening could not be performed such as locations for bearings. The proposed method provides an optimal hammer peening plan for the given runout data. The proposed method was validated against a series of hammer peening test results for a simple shaft. The developed method can be applied to other types of rotor straightening methods such as hot spotting.
