Abstract
A system for creating a risk analysis for at least one turbomachine includes a database storing characteristics of one or more turbomachines and a processing module coupled to the database that receives the characteristics from the database and creates the risk analysis. The processing module includes a modeling module that creates a representation of the amount of rocking in a particular turbomachine based on the characteristics and a performance modeler coupled to the modeling module and that, based on the representation of the amount of rocking, creates the risk analysis.
Claims14
A system for creating a risk analysis for at least one turbomachine, the system comprising:
- a database storing characteristics of one or more turbomachines;
- a processing module coupled to the database that receives the characteristics from the database and creates the risk analysis, the processing module including:
- a modeling module that creates a representation of an amount of airfoil rocking in a particular turbomachine based on the characteristics;
- and
- a performance modeler coupled to the modeling module and that, based on the representation of the amount of rocking, creates the risk analysis.
A computer implemented method of creating an inspection recommendation for a turbomachine, the method comprising:
- receiving at a computer operational data related to the turbomachine, the operational data including dynamic pressure indications from a region near at least one airfoil;
- creating a failure model from a first risk model based on the dynamic pressure indications;
- and
- creating an inspection recommendation based on the failure model.
A computer implemented method of creating an inspection recommendation for a turbomachine, the method comprising:
- receiving at a computer operational data related to the turbomachine, the operational data including information related to clocking of airfoils in the turbomachine;
- creating a failure model from a risk model based on the clocking information;
- and
- creating an inspection recommendation based on the failure model.
