Capacitance Tip Timing Techniques in Gas Turbines

The vibration of turbomachinery blades is an important phenomenon to understand, observe and predict and is the reason for developing a tip timing measurement system. Vibration leads to High Cycle Fatigue (HCF), which limits blade durability and life. HCF can result in blade failure, having expensiv...
