  • Publication number: 20220083040
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to generate a predictive asset health quantifier of a turbine engine. An example apparatus includes a performance model analyzer to determine a fleet behavior parameter by generating a reference performance model using historical information for a fleet of operators using turbine engines, generate a residual performance model based on calculating a difference between the fleet behavior parameter and a plurality of operator behavior parameters, identify an operator as a candidate improvement target based on comparing the operator behavior parameters corresponding to the operator to the fleet in the residual performance model, and determine an adjusted operator behavior parameter for the candidate improvement target.

  • Patent number: 11256245
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for predicting distress on a physical component. The method can include obtaining distress data. The distress data can be used to determine a distress rank. The distress rank can be compared to a distress output provided by a kernel that use parameters related to the physical component. The comparison can result in a prediction model for the physical component.

  • Publication number: 20070061120
    Abstract: A method for performing new material development. The method comprises receiving a user simulation scenario from a user wherein the user simulation scenario is in a-cyclic graph format and includes a plurality of material development modules represented as vertices. The user simulation scenario also includes a starting module. Each vertex includes data information including at least one input file source and at least one output file destination. Relationships between the modules are represented as edges and each edge includes at least one of previous module and subsequent module. Each edge also includes data flow information between the previous module and the subsequent module. The method further comprises receiving a request to invoke the user simulation scenario and the request includes the input file source for the starting module. Traversing the vertices along the edges is performed in response to receiving the request and to the data flow information.

  • Patent number: 6849972
    Abstract: A method of repairing a crack in at least one side of a dovetail portion of a generator rotor coil slot wall, the dovetail portion having received at least two axially adjacent steel wedges and including at least a radial entry surface, an inwardly tapered surface and an intermediate radial surface, the method comprising a) machining a groove at least partly along the inwardly tapered surface to remove damaged material from the coil slot wall; and b) replacing the at least two axially adjacent steel wedges.
