Abstract

Turbine engine bearing failures are the leading mechanical cause of class-A failures. The most common mode of bearing failure in turbine engine applications is fatigue spalling. This paper describes a sensor capable of monitoring multiple bearings on a common shaft for the presence of fatigue spalls. Experimental data is presented demonstrating the ability of a single sensor installed on one bearing to detect spalls in other bearings sharing a shaft with the instrumented bearing. If adaptable to turbine engine applications, this monitoring approach would provide valuable benefits. Main shaft bearings located in inaccessible regions of the engine, or in regions too hot for sensor survival, could be remotely monitored by sensors mounted in accessible or cold regions. The technologies described may also be useful in other aircraft applications, such as auxiliary power units, generators, and gearboxes.
基于同一轴上轴承动态响应的轴承疲劳裂纹远程检测
涡轮发动机轴承故障是a类故障的主要机械原因。在涡轮发动机应用中,最常见的轴承失效模式是疲劳剥落。本文描述了一种能够监测同一轴上的多个轴承是否存在疲劳碎片的传感器。实验数据证明了安装在一个轴承上的单个传感器能够检测与仪器轴承共享轴的其他轴承的脱落。如果适用于涡轮发动机应用,这种监测方法将提供宝贵的好处。主轴轴承位于发动机不可接近的区域,或者在温度过高的区域,传感器无法工作,可以通过安装在可接近或寒冷地区的传感器进行远程监控。所描述的技术也可用于其他飞机应用,如辅助动力装置、发电机和齿轮箱。
