Abstract

See full text

A method of analyzing blade displacements detected by circumferentially spaced stationary timing probes associated with an assembly of rotating blades mounted on a rotor, including (a) identifying a possible resonant vibration event in the assembly of rotating blades; (b) zeroing the blade displacements on the rotations identified with the resonant vibration event to remove invariant blade displacements; (c) fitting modelled blade displacements corresponding to possible blade vibrational deflections at various frequencies to the zeroed blade displacements; and (d) characterizing the resonant vibration event by identifying at each rotation the frequency having modelled blade displacements which correlate best with the zeroed blade displacements. Step (c) includes performing at each individual rotation the sub-step of fitting the modelled blade displacements at each frequency to the zeroed blade displacements for successive rotations which include that individual rotation.
