As-manufactured impellers behave significantly different from nominal impellers. There are no identical blades due to geometric and material deviations. In this paper three model updating procedures are discussed with the objective to achieve realistic models of as-manufactured impellers. The techniques are applied to radial inflow turbine wheel of an exhaust gas turbocharger. The first approach creates a model through optical measurement and mesh morphing. The second approach is based on a contactless measurement of blade individual vibration responses. An iterative update process gains the corresponding mistuning pattern and thus the associated model. Third, a model is found by an optimisation, that identified a mistuning pattern, that fits modal characteristics, which are evaluated during experimental modal analysis at vacuum. In-depth analyses of these models are realised to determine advantages and drawbacks of the procedures.
