Abstract
This paper presents a method for the assessment of the geometrical properties of the turbine blade after a long running time. This method uses a medical imaging device (CT-Scan) to provide segmentation images of the turbine blade. Image processing technique was employed to produce the cross-sectional properties such as area, centroid, minimum moment of inertia, maximum moment of inertia, and the angle of twist of the principal axes along the blade span. This geometrical information was produced using MATLAB code and validated against Image-J software data. This method can be used as a nondestructive method to evaluate the geometry of the turbine.
