Fault detection systems for rotating machinery
FY 2011-12
Summary
The objectives of this research program are to advance the development of automated fault detection systems for unsteadily operating rotating machinery subject to variable duty cycles. The research involves work in both experimental areas and development of techniques for fault detection. Faults in two target machines and their constituent elements will be studied: a planetary gearbox and a hydraulic pump and motor circuit.
The experimental portion of the work involves designing and conducting experiments that closely replicate machine operation and failure. This will result in a comprehensive dataset representing machine operation and failure. This portion of the work will employ a machine duty simulator capable of replicating the dynamics of machine behavior. The types of data that will be collected include data from the machine's control system, vibration, temperature, speed and vibration.
The computational aspect of this work will strive toward the development of fault with little prior knowledge of failure modes. This will involve work in signal processing, feature extraction and classification.
