Abstract:
1. A method for determination of strain distribution in components, in particular in gas turbine components, comprising the sequential steps of: a) production of a component, the strain distribution of which is to be determined; b) vibrational excitation of the component and measured recording of a vibrational amplitude distribution of the component for a number of measured points by means of a vibrometer, each measuring point being determined by three coordinates and the measured vibrational amplitude distribution of each measuring point being a vectorial parameter; c) smoothing of the vibrational amplitude distribution recorded by measurement for each measuring point; d) definition of polygonal elements, wherein each measuring point forms a corner of at least one element; e) calculation of a tensor strain condition for each of the polygonal elements from tensor vibrational amplitude distributions present in the corners of the elements by a computer; and f) calculation of the strain distribution in the corners of the elements from the strain conditions of the elements by the computer.
