Method of formulating input parameters of neural network for diagnosing gas-turbine engines

Abstract

A method of obtaining test and training data sets has been developed. These sets are intended for training a static neural network to recognise individual and double defects in the air-gas path units of a gas-turbine engine. These data are obtained by using operational process parameters of the air-gas path of a bypass turbofan engine. The method allows sets that can project some changes in the technical conditions of a gas-turbine engine to be received, taking into account errors that occur in the measurement of the gas-dynamic parameters of the air-gas path. The operation of the engine in a wide range of modes should also be taken into account.
