Abstract
A series of simplified rod-fastened rotors, which have different surface contact roughness are manufactured and their modal parameters under different pretightening force, are measured in free-free state. The concept of surface contact stiffness is introduced to simulate the influence of pretightening force on modal parameters of these simplified rod-fastened rotors using finite element method. The experiment measured results are compared and fitted to the finite element analysis results and the relationship between contact stiffness and contact stress is established in which the contact stress is defined by the pretightening force. The relationship is then applied on the modal analysis of a real gas turbine rotor, and its modal test results and finite element analysis results are consistent with each other, proving that the relationship and the described determination method of contact stiffness based on modal test and finite element analysis are effective.
