Towards Full 3D Numerical Simulation of Whirl Motions Stemming From Unilateral Contact Constraints in Aircraft Engines
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The reduction of nominal clearances between a rotating bladed-disk and its surrounding casing yields a very significant increase of the overall engine efficiency. However, the smaller the clearances, the higher the risk of structural contacts between static and rotating components that may lead to hazardous interaction phenomena. In particular, at the fan stage of an aircraft engine, impacts between the rotating bladed-disk and the casing may generate forward or backward whirl motions induced by the precession of the shaft axis of rotation. In such specific configuration, an accurate modeling of interaction phenomena requires to account for both centrifugal and gyroscopic effects on the rotor. This contribution addresses the development of efficient reduced-order models of industrial finite element models embedding both centrifugal and gyroscopic effects. Proposed developments are validated on an academic model and are then applied on the finite element model of an aircraft engine fan stage. Results obtained with the academic model underline that the impact of gyroscopic effects on the rotor’s dynamics is essentially related to the frequency split of 1-nodal diameter free-vibration modes of the first modal family. Results presented on the industrial finite element models are limited to a few case studies as a proof-of-concept.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
