  • Patent number: 10670452
    Abstract: A method for determining the vibration of turbomachine rotor blades, including steps of measuring, via one or more sensors, the variation in the minimum distance between each sensor and the top of each blade along a radial axis of the rotor, between successive rotations of each blade in front of each sensor, a minimum distance value being obtained on each passage of each blade in front of each sensor, in order to deduce therefrom a variation in the lengths of the blades along the radial axis; and, using directly, as such, the variation in the length of the blades along the radial axis in a model of the deformation of the blades, in order to deduce therefrom characteristics of one or more vibrational modes of the rotating blades. A turbomachine can be equipped with a device implementing this method.

  • Patent number: 10519801
    Abstract: An annular air flow passage, particularly for a turbine engine, comprising two radially internal and external annular walls. A measuring element is elongated in a direction between the internal and external annular walls, and a first of the internal or external ends of the element is fixed rigidly to a first of the internal or external walls. The element includes at least one tubular cavity extending along the element and supplied with pressurized fluid.
