Abstract

A model validation technique in structural dynamics and its application in aero-engine development is introduced. The concept and the approaches of model validation based on reference data supplied from experimental tests or from supermodel simulation are discussed in detail. An aero-engine component is used as an example to demonstrate the validation using the experimental test and supermodel information, respectively. A satisfactory agreement with both approaches is achieved, and finally, a strategy of model validation for the whole engine model is introduced.
