Abstract

Engineering structures are inevitably exposed to various sources of uncertainty. The uncertainty in the parameters led to structures with identical nominal parameters having different vibrational behavior, such as different natural frequencies. Therefore, it is inevitable to consider parameter variability for a robust design. The rotational motion of turbomachinery makes vibration an important issue in their design. Therefore, it is essential to accurately determine the vibrational behavior of rotating systems and the parameters affecting them. No comprehensive experimental study is reported on the sensitivity of vibration behavior of industrial rotating systems to parameter uncertainty in the related literature. Therefore, in this paper, a powerful method of global sensitivity analysis based on variance analysis is presented using an industrial compressor sample to determine the effective parameters in its response uncertainty. The Monte Carlo simulation method is adopted to implement the global sensitivity analysis method. In this method, the uncertainty in the system response quantifiably devotes itself to the uncertainty of its parameters and provides a quantitative analysis along with qualitative predictions to the designer. The presented method in this paper can be very useful in designing rotating machinery and identifying sensitive parameters on the system response for the codification of design and manufacturing instructions, like component tolerance.
