Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are shown in the figures, where a method is presented for designing a component, including designing or receiving a model of the component; determining at least one mode shape of at least a portion of the model; redesigning the model based on the determined at least one mode shape to obtain a redesigned model of the component; and manufacturing the component in accordance with the redesigned model.
Claims10
A method for manufacturing a component, comprising:
- designing or receiving a model of the component;
- determining at least one mode shape of at least a portion of the model;
- redesigning the model based on the determined at least one mode shape to obtain a redesigned model of the component, wherein the model is redesigned in accordance with a deformation pattern of the at least one mode shape so that a stiffness and/or mass distribution follows the deformation pattern;
- wherein the determining the at least one mode shape of the component is performed outside of a predetermined operating range with respect to an operating condition of the component;
- wherein the redesigning the model is performed to adjust component stiffness in accordance with at least one out of operating range mode shape;
- and
- manufacturing the component in accordance with the redesigned model.

A method for manufacturing a component, comprising:
- designing or receiving a model of the component;
- determining at least one mode shape of at least a portion of the model;
- wherein the at least one mode shape is non-critical;
- redesigning the model based on the determined at least one mode shape to obtain a redesigned model of the component, wherein the model is redesigned in accordance with a deformation pattern of the at least one mode shape so that a stiffness and/or mass distribution follows the deformation pattern;
- and
- manufacturing the component in accordance with the redesigned model.
