Excitation of Blade Vibration under Rotation by Synchronous Electromagnet

This paper presents the procedure for designing electromagnetic bladed wheel excitation. This procedure comes from phase-synchronization of multiple electromagnets distributed around the wheel with a movement of the blade to obtain its resonant vibration. This procedure can be used with merit for dynamic tests of inter-blade couplings. The verification was performed on the tested wheel using two-point electromagnetic excitation of blades under rotation.
