Abstract :
[en] In this work, a characterization of the inter-stage coupling in a one-piece multi-stage bladed structure is performed. More particularly, the effect of the inter-stage coupling flexibility on
the mode-shapes is evaluated. To this purpose, the MAC matrix between the mono-stage and multi-stage modes is computed for different drum Young’s modulus of the inter-stage coupling. In
parallel, the strain energy located in the blades and in the connecting structure is computed for different levels of inter-stage coupling. This enables to establish a criterion to determine when
a multi-stage finite element analysis is necessary instead of only computing the different mono-stage models separately. This criterion is based on the localization of the energy in the structure. Numerical analyses are performed on a two-stages academic bladed structure.
