Abstract

See full text

Engine health monitoring is used to assess the health of an engine, such as a gas turbine engine. Blades mounted on a shaft produce a modal response when excited. The shaft has an order related component that varies with the rotational velocity of the shaft. Modal responses are increased when the natural frequency range of the selected blade mode intersects with one of the order related components. By applying a short time chirp-Fourier transform with a frequency speed that is a function of a rate of change in the rotational velocity of the shaft a selected signal can be isolated. Cracks in the blades can be detected from the isolated signal.
