Zusammenfassung:A method of instrumenting a first component ( 210 ) for use in a combustion turbine engine ( 10 ) wherein the first component ( 210 ) has a surface contacted by a second component during operation of the combustion turbine engine ( 10 ). The method may include depositing an insulating layer ( 260 ) on the surface of the first component ( 210 ) and depositing a first conductive lead ( 232, 254 ) on the insulating layer ( 260 ). A piezoelectric material ( 230 ) may be deposited in electrical communication with the first conductive lead ( 232, 254 ) and a second conductive lead ( 236, 256 ) may be deposited in electrical communication with the piezoelectric material ( 230 ) and be insulated from the first conductive lead ( 232, 254 ) to form a sensor ( 50 ) for detecting pressure exerted on the surface of the first component ( 210 ) during operation of the combustion turbine engine ( 10 ).
