Development of an Integrated Engine Fault Diagnostics Method

The book you are holding is the result of research undertaken in the UK in the field of Aerospace Propulsion. The purpose of the book is to demistify gas turbine engine diagnostics and highlight the latest in research in this area. The book centers around the theoretical engine which has been used to research development of a knovel method of diagnostics. The engine’s parameters are defined and form the basis of developing a system of diagnosing certain faults using gas path and vibration diagnostics in a hybrid format. A review of current diagnotics methods is also presented. It is hoped that the book will provide the reader with a better understanding of diagnotic methods for jet engines.
