This thesis introduces a new aeromechanical test facility for axial compressor rotors called ACTIVE (Axial Compressor Test rig for the Investigation of blisk Vibrations with an active Excitation system). Thanks to the closed loop design, the test facility can be operated at variable pressure levels as well as at vacuum without changing the test setup. An electromagnetic excitation system is developed, which allows for the excitation of vibrati...
