Zusammenfassung:	Systems and methods for detecting shear of a rotating shaft are described herein. A first measurement and a second measurement of a rotational speed of the shaft are acquired. The first measurement is taken at a first location along the shaft and the second measurement taken at a second location along the shaft. The first location is axially-spaced from the second location. The first and second location are on opposite sides of an expected breakage point of the shaft. A first rate of change of the rotational speed is determined from the first measurement. A second rate of change is determined from the second measurement. Shear of the shaft is detected when the first rate of change is positive and the second rate of change is negative.
