A real-time hybrid method based on blade tip timing for diagnostics and prognostics of cracks in turbomachine rotor blades

Ellis, Brian (University of Pretoria, 2019)

This dissertation proposes hybrid models for (i) diagnosis and (ii) remaining useful life estimation of a single fatigue crack in a low-pressure turbine blade. The proposed hybrid methods consist of physics-based methods ...
A Stochastic Hybrid Blade Tip Timing Approach for the Identification and Classification of Turbomachine Blade Damage

Du Toit, Ronald (University of Pretoria, 2017-11)

Blade Tip Timing (BTT) has been in existence for many decades as an attractive vibration based condition monitoring technique for turbomachine blades. The technique is non-intrusive and online monitoring is possible. For ...
