Research abstract
VATELL CORPORATION WILL DESIGN, ASSEMBLE AND TEST A BREADBOARD SIGNAL PROCESSING MODULE FOR ON-LINE, REAL-TIME COMPUTATION OF TURBOMACHINE BLADE CLEARANCE AND TIME OF ARRIVAL. THE MODULE WILL PROCESS SIGNALS FROM THE VATELL PROBE, A NEW TYPE OF EDDY-CURRENT PROXIMITY SENSOR. CLEARANCE AND TIME OF ARRIVAL VALUES WILL BE COMPUTED FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL BLADE AND COMMUNICATED TO A HOST COMPUTER. THE BREADBOARD SYSTEM WILL BE TESTED WITH THE VATELL PROBE ON A PRATT & WHITNEY JT15-D FAN STAGE AT VIRGINIA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE, THEN DELIVERED TO THE AIR FORCE FOR FURTHER TESTS OR USE.
