A rotating pretwisted cylindrical shell model with a presetting angle is established to investigate nonlinear dynamic responses of the aero-engine compressor blade. The centrifugal force and the Coriolis force are considered in the model. The aerodynamic pressure is obtained by the first-order piston theory. The strain-displacement relationship is derived by the Green strain tensor. Based on the first-order shear deformation theory and the isotropic constitutive law, nonlinear partial differential governing equations are derived by using the Hamilton principle. Discarding the Coriolis force effect, Galerkin approach is utilized to reduce nonlinear partial differential governing equations into a two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear system. According to nonlinear ordinary differential equations, numerical simulations are performed to explore nonlinear transient dynamic responses of the system under the effect of the single point excitation and nonlinear steady-state dynamic responses of the system under the effect of the uniform distribution excitation. The effects of the excitation parameter, damping coefficient, rotating speed, presetting angle and pretwist angle on nonlinear dynamic responses of the system are fully discussed.
