1. A blade vibration monitoring system comprising:
a rotary machine including a rotating shaft extending along an axis, and a plurality of moving blades having a plurality of moving blade bodies that extend radially outward in a radial direction from the rotating shaft, and shrouds that are provided at tips of the moving blade bodies, respectively, and are in contact with each other in a circumferential direction, wherein an outer circumferential surface of each shroud has
first surfaces separated from each other in a circumferential direction about the axis, and
a second surface which is interposed between the first surfaces, the second surface being defined by two boundary lines between the first surfaces and the second surface, wherein the two boundary lines extend from a first edge of the shroud to an opposite second edge of the shroud in a direction of the axis, and the two boundary lines are linearly inclined with respect to the direction of the axis and extend away from each other toward one side in the direction of the axis;
a sensor that is provided on an outside of one of the shrouds in the radial direction to face the shroud, and is configured to detect a length of time for the second surface to pass through an area inward of the sensor in the radial direction when the shroud is rotated; and
an analysis device which stores a relationship between a width of the second surface in the circumferential direction and a position of the shroud in the direction of the axis, and that is configured to calculate the width of the second surface of the shroud in the circumferential direction, which is a length of the second surface in the circumferential direction that passes through the area inward of the sensor in the radial direction, by multiplying the length of time for the second surface to pass through the area inward of the sensor in the radial direction by a circumferential speed of the shroud,
wherein the analysis device specifies the position of the shroud in the direction of the axis corresponding to the calculated width of the second surface of the shroud in the circumferential direction using the stored relationship.
