Abstract: Instrumentation comb for an aircraft engine including a central tube with a longitudinal axis on which a determined number of orifices spaced apart along this longitudinal axis are drilled and a base forming a proximal end of this tube and intended to be fixed on a crankcase portion of the aircraft engine, each orifice being associated with a sensor for measuring a physical parameter of the aircraft engine and the base integrates a slave processing unit connected to each of the measuring sensors by a communication link able to receive in real time digital measurement data corresponding to the physical parameters measured by the measuring sensors and intended to be communicated to a master processing unit by a single communication link.

Abstract: A method for measuring temperature and deformation of a part or structure on the basis of a single line of optical fiber having a single Bragg rating is provided. The method includes: interrogating the optical fiber based on two sampling frequencies; one being a low frequency and the other being a high frequency, said low frequency being suitable for sensing a slow rate of change corresponding to the temperature variation, and said high frequency being suitable for sensing a fast rate of change corresponding to vibrations; implementing an algorithmic block based on a blind-source-separation (BSS) technique, comprising a frequency analysis, a multivariate analysis and higher-order statistics; and returning to the time domain via an inverse Fourier transform.
