Abstract: A system and method for prognostic health monitoring of thermal barrier coatings is provided. The system may comprise monitoring a thermal barrier coated gas turbine engine component, and measuring the infrared radiation emitting from the component. The measured thermal radiation data may be analyzed and compared to known material thermal radiation data in order to determine the health of the thermal barrier coating. The compiled comparison results may be compared against a historical statistical study to then determine the overall health of the thermal barrier coating. The system may comprise generating a health monitoring alert in response to the health of the thermal barrier coating indicating an imminent failure.

Abstract: A method for thermally imaging a moving workpiece of a gas turbine engine comprises identifying a plurality of geometric features to construct a composite image. The geometric features include at least one integral thermal feature of the moving workpiece, and at least one artificial feature applied to the workpiece for diagnostic purposes. One of the plurality of geometric features is identified as a master feature, and the remainder of the plurality of geometric features are located relative to the master feature with relative actual coordinates. A pixel location of the master feature is identified or each image, and the remainder of the plurality of geometric features are located relative to the master feature with relative pixel coordinates. Offset, rotation, and scaling of the secondary images are varied to minimize a relative difference between the relative pixel coordinates and the relative actual coordinates. The offset, rotated, and scaled secondary images are combined with the reference image to form a composite image.

Abstract: A method for thermally imaging a moving workpiece of a gas turbine engine using long wavelength infrared (LWIR) images of the workpiece captured during operation of the gas turbine engine. The method comprises determining average pixel intensity and pixel variation in intensity for each pixel across the plurality of LWIR images, determining average area intensity and area variation in intensity across a range of areas defined by increasing length scales about a selected pixel, and identifying as a critical length scale a length scale at which area variation in intensity is minimized as a function of length scale, for which the area intensity remains substantially the same as the average pixel intensity of the selected pixel. A composite image is built such that each pixel of the composite image has intensity equal to an average area intensity centered on that pixel, over the critical length scale.
