'''High-frequency vibration can result in failure of the working blades. So suppressing vibration failure of blades becomes more and more important. Damping performance of viscoelastic block on blades is researched based on principle of finite element method, contact theory of elastic body and the solving equations of natural frequency. Modal and harmonic response is analyzed to obtain natural frequency, vibration displacement and stress, in which different finite element models of blade are established. Effects of different adding position and thickness of viscoelastic block on damping performance are analyzed. Elastic modulus and loss factor of viscoelastic material is also changed to study their influence on damping performance. The results show that viscoelastic block applied to blades has excellent performance in reducing blade vibration. When viscoelastic block is added to mortise side, the damping performance of blade is the best. In addition, thickness of viscoelastic block and parameters of viscoelastic material have a significant effect on vibration reduction of blade.
