A gas turbine engine includes a fan section having a plurality of fan blades, the fan section configured to generate an airflow through the gas turbine engine, an airflow passage having a core passage and a bypass passage separate from the core passage, a low-speed shaft coupled to and configured to rotate the plurality of fan blades, and a sensor assembly coupled to the gas turbine engine and configured to detect torsional vibration in the low-speed shaft. The sensor assembly includes a plurality of dynamic pressure sensors in the airflow passage. The plurality of dynamic pressure sensors detect a dynamic pressure of the airflow passage that is indicative of the torsional vibration in the low-speed shaft. A damping system is configured to dampen the torsional vibration in the low-speed shaft based on a correlation of a measured torsional vibration and an experimental torsional vibration.
