Minimized vibration by minimizing induced shearing
force at rotor hub and the sizes and location of
tuning masses along blade span are taken as
variable which result in vibration minimized and

Negm Performance of turbine is enhanced by considering
(2002) several optimization variables. Multi-dimensional
search techniques used to examine model. Floquet’s
transition matrix theory used and conclude that
segmented length is a main design variable.

Natural frequency of rotor blade were evaluated
using non-contact method from casing vibration
measurements. They simulate the internal casing

to vibration and analytical model derived for that.

The experimental and numerical analysis results of
natural frequency effect on turbine blade are
compared. ANSYS used to do the analysis and
Factography analysis done on fractured blade
surface. He used Campbell Diagram to conclude
result.
Modal analysis is used. They used Frequency
Response Function (FRFs) to detect faults. By
comparing failed blade experimental and
computational model frequencies root causes of
failure determined. Blade failed due to resonance
at sixth modal frequency and failure occur due to
high cycle fatigue because of corrosion pits.
Chemical analysis was carried out by a standard
wet method. A portion of the blade fractured
surface was cut for metallography. Brinell hardness
test used to calculate hardness value. Presence
and growth of pits in tail of the blade, residual
stresses created as a result and hardness value
show that blade has not properly tempered.

FEM was used to select either IN738 and U50
material under same load conditions was best for
turbine installed in Trans-amadi Power Plant, Nigeria.
The modal analysis show that IN738 natural
frequency was much higher than the operational
frequency for which the turbine has to operate. So,
it was dynamically stable and selected.
