Diagnostic evaluation of rocket engine vibration data
acquired from high frequency sensors such as
accelerometers, strain gauges, proximity probes, and
fluctuating pressures. Data from these sensors is acquired
at high speeds (10,000 to 100,000 samples/second) allowing
for high frequency spectral analysis to be performed on
engine/engine components. Time, frequency, and phase domain
analyses results are maintained in databases that are
utilized to determine engine/engine component health,
statistical family comparability, and flight acceptability.
