The development of gas turbine engines (GTE) is inextricably linked with an increase in their main characteristics. In this case, the parameters of the working fluid (in particular, the temperature of the gas flow) and the intensity of loads on the structural elements increase. The strength reliability of highly heated GTE elements is a factor that determines the life of the engine as a whole. The most common cases of damage to GTE elements are caused by static and vibration stresses and mainly relate to the blades of gas turbines operating at temperatures up to 1200оС. Vibration stresses of individual GTE parts can be determined only experimentally during GTE testing and fine-tuning. Their values are determined at individual points of the surfaces of parts by the values of directly measured deformations. At present, the main means for determining the vibration deformations of GTE elements are resistance strain gauges. In the process of testing, the information generated by the strain gages makes it possible to determine not only the dynamic deformation but also the static and dynamic temperature of the blade at the place where the strain gauge is installed. A technique is proposed for the parametric identification of a high-temperature tensoresistor (HTTR), based on the representation of the analyzed HTTR and affecting its state, as some, in the general case, non-linear measuring system. The structural and mathematical models of HTTR are considered, in which both temperature and strain are simultaneously measured using a single sensor element. An original technique is proposed for studying the reliability of the results of HTTR parametric identification. It is proved that the ellipsoidal character of the level lines of residual function, as well as the absence of an extremum region together with the point nature of the minimum, indicate the practical identifiability of the tensometric system. The proposed technique allows a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the effect of shunting on the accuracy of HTTR readings. This technique can also be used to create new types of insulating materials intended for HTTR insulator substrates. This method presents a possibility of the measurement deformation and temperature of element thermal using single platinum-based tensometer sensor.
