    摘要: A component sensing system for monitoring the condition of ceramic tiles in a combustion chamber of a gas turbine engine. The sensing system includes an optical fiber that is mounted to the component being monitored, for example, the ceramic tiles in the gas turbine combustion chamber. The optical fiber can be formed in any suitable orientation or configuration, such as a meandering or serpentine orientation. The fiber is optically coupled to a Brillouin signal analyzer that provides an optical pulse to the sensing section of the fiber and detects Brillouin backscattering from the fiber as the pulse travels along the fiber. The frequency of the Brillouin backscattering signal is monitored relative to the distance along the sensing section of the fiber. A rise in temperature at a location of the fiber shows up in the analyzer as an increase in frequency of the backscattered signal.

    摘要: Aspects of the invention are directed to a visual-based system and method for non-destructively evaluating an uncoated turbine engine component. Aspects of the invention are well suited for high speed, high temperature components. Radiant energy emitted from an uncoated turbine engine component can be captured remotely and converted into a useful form, such as a high resolution image of the component. A plurality of images of the component can be captured over time and evaluated to identify failure modes. The system can also measure and map the temperature and/or radiance of the component. The system can facilitate the non-destructive evaluation of uncoated turbine components during engine operation without disassembly of the engine, thereby providing significant time and cost savings. Further, the system presents data to a user with sufficient context that allows an engine operator can evaluate the information with an increased degree of confidence and certainty.

    摘要: Systems and methods to monitor a signal from an apparatus are disclosed. A feature extracted from the signal is automatically defined. Signals are received over a period of time wherein the apparatus is in a normal operational mode. Features are classified in a learning mode and are applied to create a reference model that defines a within-normal operational mode. In a testing mode a signal generated by the apparatus is received, a feature is extracted and classified. Instantaneous data generated in operational mode by the apparatus is classified by the system as abnormal if it does not lie within boundaries of the reference model or contains information/structure in an orthogonal subspace. A learned reference model is augmented by a user or automatically. In one illustrative example the apparatus is a power generation equipment and the signal is an acoustic signal.
