An n -harmonic traveling-wave excitation (nTWE) system that was developed for the U.S. air force research laboratory turbine engine fatigue facility (TEFF) is described. This traveling-wave system is designed to simulate engine order excitations on stationary integrally bladed rotors (IBRs) and dual flow-path IBRs (DFIBRs) for the purpose of measuring forced response amplification due to mistuning. This new system extends beyond traditional traveling-wave systems by its capability to generate a combination of n engine order (EO) harmonics for IBRs as well as different EO harmonics simultaneously to both inner- and outer-blade sets of DFIBRs. This system can excite both IBRs and DFIBRs of differing sizes and number of blades with electromagnetic excitation. Scanning vibrometry mounted above the test specimen is used to measure any localization due to mistuning. Sources of error in the nTWE system are discussed and experimental forced response levels are shown for a 22-blade IBR.
