  • Gas turbine engine component with integrated sensor bracket
    Patent number: 12146438
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine component includes a wall that is formed of a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) that has ceramic fiber plies disposed in a ceramic matrix. The component has a sensor section in which a bracket is bonded on the wall for holding a sensor. The bracket is formed of a material selected from the group consisting of the CMC, graphite, and combinations thereof.
    Type: Grant

  • Noise reduction for strain-controlled testing
    Patent number: 11047780
    Abstract: A system includes a load actuator, a strain measurement device, and a computing device. The computing device is configured to receive an unconditioned displacement signal from the strain measurement device. The unconditioned displacement signal represents displacement of a specimen under load from the load actuator. The computing device is further configured to split the unconditioned displacement signal into a measurement signal and a control signal. The computing device is further configured to filter the control signal to generate a filtered control signal and control the load actuator based on the filtered control signal. The computing device is further configured to determine a strain on the specimen based on the measurement signal.

  • NOISE REDUCTION FOR STRAIN-CONTROLLED TESTING
    Publication number: 20190293533
    Abstract: A system includes a load actuator, a strain measurement device, and a computing device. The computing device is configured to receive an unconditioned displacement signal from the strain measurement device. The unconditioned displacement signal represents displacement of a specimen under load from the load actuator. The computing device is further configured to separate the unconditioned displacement signal into a measurement signal and a control signal. The computing device is further configured to filter the control signal to generate a filtered control signal and control the load actuator based on the filtered control signal. The computing device is further configured to determine a strain on the specimen based on the measurement signal.
