Analyze Blade Vibration is used to analyze data gathered with non-contacting blade-tip sensors. Some features include:
- Sensor Location Determination, based on user configuration, interblade spacing, or a combination of the two.
- Supports multiple rotors and chordwise sensor positions.
- Quick view of RPM-run history.
- Quick view (aggregate) of synchronous / non-synchronous vibration with synchronous order determination.
- Synchronous Analysis:
- Circumferential Fourier fit (i.e. Order Tracking) using 3 or more sensors.
- Single Degree of Freedom fit for each sensor or for combinations of times-of-flight.
- Blade-by-blade viewing or stack plots.
- Results can be exported to a Campbell Diagram and to Excel and Word formats.
- User-configurable data smoothing and processing features.
- Non-synchronous Analysis
- Waterfall display.
- Nodal diameter and true frequency determination of non-synchronous events.
- Non-integral Circumferential Fit performed for single blade amplitudes.
- Results can be exported to a Campbell Diagram and to Excel and Word formats.
- Blade Stagger Angle Analysis
- Blade-Tip Clearance Analysis
- Supports two types of sensors: (1) skewed dual light probes (aka V-probes, SDLP) and (2) sensors whose blade pulse voltage is a function of clearance.
- Calibration can also include tip speed.
- Calibration utility allows for qualitative results when no calibration exists.
- Results can be exported to Excel and Word formats.
