Embodiment Construction

[0087] Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the invention, one or more examples of which are illustrated in the drawings. Each example is provided by way of explanation of the invention, not limitation of the invention. In fact, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention. For example, features illustrated or described as part of one embodiment can be used on another embodiment to yield a still further embodiment. Thus, it is intended that the present invention covers such modifications and variations as come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0088] refer to figure 1 with 2 , shows a component 10 with a plurality of fiducial marks 12 positioned on an outer surface 14 of the component. The component 10 (and more particularly, the substrate 11 of the overall component 10) may comprise v...

Abstract

A system for monitoring a component is provided. The system includes a plurality of fiducial markers, an optical scanner for analyzing the fiducial markers, and a processor. The plurality of fiducial markers may be on an exterior surface of the component. The processor may be in operable communication with the optical scanner and operable for measuring the fiducial markers along an X-axis, a Y-axis, and a Z-axis to obtain an X-axis data point set, a Y-axis data point set, and a Z-axis data point set. The X-axis, the Y-axis, and the Z-axis are mutually orthogonal. Methods of using the system are also provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for monitoring component strain, and more particularly, to systems and methods for scanning and measuring a plurality of fiducial markers positioned on a component. Background technique [0002] In many industrial applications, equipment components are subjected to many extreme conditions (eg, high temperature, high pressure, large stress loads, etc.). Over time, individual components of equipment can be subject to creep and / or deformation, which can shorten the useful life of the components. For example some turbines may also have this problem. [0003] Turbines are used extensively in fields such as power generation and aircraft engines. For example, a conventional gas turbine system includes a compressor section, a combustor section, and at least one turbine section. The compressor section is configured to compress air as it flows through the compressor section. The air then flows f...
