This paper deals with the characterization of the blade manufacturing geometric tolerances in order to get a given level of amplification in the forced response of a mistuned bladed-disk. The theory is based on the use of a nonparametric probabilistic model of blade random uncertainties. The dispersion parameters controlling the nonparametric model are estimated as a function of the geometric tolerances. The industrial application is devoted to the mistuning analysis of a 22 blades wide chord fan stage. Centrifugal stiffening due to rotational effects is also included. The results obtained validate the efficiency and the reliability of the method on three-dimensional bladed disks.
