Aircraft gas Turbine Seals Present Stattes and Prospects

Aircraft Gas Turbine Blade and Vane Repair

The high replacement costs of aircraft gas turbine blades and vanes have created a fast-growing, highly-specialized segment of the aircraft repair industry. The economic rationale for repair in lieu of replacement is prima facie. The metallurgical rationale is less certain, but satisfactory flight performance over the past twenty-five years at least attests to the technical adequacy of blade an...

Anomaly Detection in Aircraft Gas Turbine Engines

Nonlinear identification of aircraft gas-turbine dynamics

Identi cation results for the shaft-speed dynamics of an aircraft gas turbine, under normal operation, are presented. As it has been found that the dynamics vary with the operating point, nonlinear models are employed. Two di7erent approaches are considered: NARX models, and neural network models, namely multilayer perceptrons, radial basis function networks and B-spline networks. A special att...

Nonlinear Modelling and Validation of an Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine

In this paper the orthogonal estimation algorithm is used to estimate a NARMAX model for an aircraft gas turbine. The performance of the model is validated using a range of small and large signal tests and by examining the model’s static and dynamic characteristics. The NARMAX representation allows the direct mapping to the frequency domain by computing the Higher Order Frequency Response Funct...

A Physics - Based Emissions Model for Aircraft Gas Turbine

In this thesis, a physics-based model of an aircraft gas turbine combustor is developed for predicting NO, and CO emissions. The objective of the model is to predict the emissions of current and potential future gas turbine engines within quantified uncertainty bounds for the purpose of assessing design tradeoffs and interdependencies in a policy-making setting. The approach taken is to capture...
