The present invention provides an aircraft engine vibration system that
provides information about engine health. Embodiments of the present
invention monitor for excessive vibration, monitor for bird strike,
monitor for ice build up on the fan section, and monitor general engine
health. An embodiment of the present invention utilizes neural network
architecture for the detection of excessive vibration and ice detection
build-up on the fan section of a turbo-fan engine and to monitor engine
health through the high-pressure turbine section of the engine.
