This paper proposes a method for optimizing unbalanced force and unbalanced moment of the multistage disk based on sequence quadratic program algorithm to solve the vibration problem of gas turbine tie rod rotor. This method guides the assembly phase of the multistage disks. The influence of unbalanced force and unbalanced moment on the vibration of the tie rod rotor are analyzed based on the characteristics of rotor structure and assembly process. A dynamic model of the unbalanced force and unbalanced moment of the tie rod rotor is established. The sequence quadratic program algorithm is used to optimize multi-dimension of unbalanced force and moment, so the global optimal solution can be obtained. In order to verify the effectiveness of the optimization method proposed in this paper, vibration control experiments are carried out for traditional tie rod rotor and gas turbine tie rod rotor structure. The results show that both unbalanced force optimization and unbalanced moment optimization can control the tie rod rotor vibration effectively, and unbalanced moment optimization is better. Unbalanced moment optimization is used to perform constant speed and speed-up experiment on the gas turbine tie rod rotor structure. At 1200r/min, the maximum vibration reduction of the system is 76.68%. And the vibration has a decrease of 43.3% at the first-order critical speed. The proposed method in this paper can be used not only for the guidance of tie rod rotor assembly of gas turbine, but also for the vibration control during operation.
