Parametrical models of working rotor machine blade diagnostics with its unmeasurable environment elimination

Abstract

The paper presents the basic of the new method of rotor machine blades during their operation. The method utilizes such diagnostic models as a quotient of diagnostic signal y(t) amplification being a result of blade operation and x(t) signal of its environment as the blade tip approaches the sensor as well as amplification of these signals as the blade tip recedes from the sensor and phase shift difference of these signals as the blade tip approaches and recedes from the sensor. The adopted diagnostic models indirectly take the current blade environment x(t) into account with no necessity of measuring (Kotowski and Lindstedt, 2007; Lindstedt and Kotowski, 2004). Therefore the model is sensitive to blade technical condition changes remaining only slightly sensitive to environment changes. Suggested method may prove very important in diagnostics of rotor blades during operation of rotor machines (turbines, compressors etc.)
