    摘要: A method is provided for monitoring velocity of a fluid flow through a predetermined fluid flow space. A fiber optic conductor includes a flow measurement portion defining an elongated dimension extending across a portion of the fluid flow space. The fluid flow in the fluid flow space causes the measurement portion of the fiber optic conductor to flex in a direction transverse to the elongated dimension. Optical radiation is supplied to the fiber optic conductor, and optical radiation is received from the fiber optic conductor after the supplied optical radiation has passed through the measurement portion. The received optical radiation is analyzed to effect a determination of a flow velocity of the fluid flow.

    摘要: A generator stator core through-bolt tensioning device that automatically tightens the nut on the through-bolts that hold together and compress laminate plates of the stator core in a high voltage generator. A controller receives a signal from a measuring device, such as a fiber Bragg grating that measures the strain on the bolt, and based on that signal determines whether the nut needs to be tightened. If the controller determines that tightening is necessary, it will cause the tensioning device to automatically tighten the nut while the generator is in service, and use the measuring device to provide feedback of the tensioning of the through-bolt to know when to stop the device from tightening the nut.

    摘要: A generator stator core that includes a plurality of through-bolts extending through the stator core. Each through-bolt includes a threaded end on which is positioned a conical washer and a through-bolt nut, where the through-bolt nuts are tightened against the washers to compress laminate plates and hold the stator core together. The stator core further includes a through-bolt tension monitoring system including a fiber Bragg grating sensor mounted to one or more of the conical washers and being provided in at least one optical fiber. The monitoring system further includes a monitoring device providing an optical signal to each of the fiber Bragg grating sensors and receiving a reflected signal from the fiber Bragg grating sensors where the reflected signal provides an indication of strain on the washer to provide an indication of how tight the nut is on the through-bolt.

    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.
