Description: This study involved the implementation and validation of a blade-tip time of arrival (TOA) measurement technique, and the development of a computer program to analyze TOA data using a recently published approach. The program was used to analyze experimental compressor data taken in-house using two laser light probes, data generated computation ally, and data obtained by others in a compressor test. The in-house compressor data was compared successfully to amplitudes obtained by strobed digital photography. A resonance was successfully detected in the supplied compressor data set.
