Strength Analysis and Design Improvement of the Tie Rods in Circumferentially Distributed Rod Fastening Rotors
A 10-stage rotor model with 10 circumferential tie rods in uniformly distribution is proposed to optimize the rod structure and to improve the operation safety of the rotor with tie rods in gas turbines. It is based on the model that a series cases of rod shoulder clearances are set
and the relationship among the stress of the tie rod and the rotational speed
and static installation clearance is investigated using a three-dimensional nonlinear contact finite element method. Then the effects of two improvement plans(double the shoulder number with equal and unequal span respectively)on stress reduction are compared at the same static installation clearance. Moreover
the effect of the span value on the stress of the tie rod is studied while the shoulders are uniformly arranged. Results show that the clearance between the rod shoulder and rod hole has no relationship with the rod stress at a normal operation condition
but affects the maximum stress when rotor speed increases. There exists a specific change rule of the maximum stress of the tie rods in different speed range. The maximum stress of the tie rod is effectively reduced by properly adding the amount of the rod shoulders to reduce the span. The effect of stress reduction obtained by adding the rod shoulder number uniformly is better than that obtained by adding the rod shoulder nonuniformly. The results provide references for the design of the rotor with tie rods in gas turbines.
