  • Physics-based lifespan modeling
    Patent number: 9477224
    Abstract: An embodiment of a method for lifespan modeling for a turbine engine component includes determining a design-phase model of the lifespan of an turbine engine component; fusing the design-phase model with sensor data collected during operation of the turbine engine component to produce an updated model of the lifespan of the turbine engine component; and fusing the updated model with data collected during an inspection of the turbine engine component to produce an overall model of the lifespan of the turbine engine component. Systems for lifespan modeling for a turbine engine component are also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 12, 2008
    Date of Patent: October 25, 2016
    Assignee: General Electric Company

  • System and method for real-time detection of gas turbine or aircraft engine blade problems
    Publication number: 20090228230
    Abstract: A method and system are implemented to detect gas turbine blade problems in real time and provide more accurate prediction capabilities than known techniques due to inclusion of physics-based correction and temperature modeling methods for the hot gas path parts lifing. The system and method use pyrometer data and operational data to generate physics-based corrections of pyrometer data and physics-based bucket temperature estimations and failure signatures.
