Therefore accurate fault diagnosis of machine failure is vital to the operation and production departments. The majority of Machine imperfections and malfunctions have been related to bearings faults. Many researchers are still exploring to find suitable diagnosis strategies and techniques to detect incipient bearing faults. A new integrated Hilbert-Huang technique (iHT) is proposed in this paper for bearing fault detection. The iHT takes two processes; firstly: representative signatures are extracted and secondly the resulting selected features are employed to highlight defect-related impulses for incipient bearing fault detection. A novel Jarque-Bera analysis method is suggested to select most prominent characteristic feature functions and the signals are integrated to enhance the features of the condition related function. The effectiveness of the proposed iHT technique is verified by a series of experimental tests corresponding to different bearing health conditions.","PeriodicalId":140911,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Prognostics and Health Management (ICPHM)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116866689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The failure of electromagnetic coil insulation can lead to catastrophic failure of the coil and subsequently, the component and system in which the coil is used. In this paper, a method of locating frequencies in the impedance spectrum that are not only useful for health monitoring, but reveal the changing electrical behavior of coil due to degraded wire insulation is demonstrated. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient can be used to measure linear or non-linear monotonic relationships between two variables. Hence, the measure is more general than the Pearson correlation coefficient, which measures only the linear correlation between two variables. First, experiments were performed where electromagnetic coils were subjected to degrading environments while measuring the impedance spectra of the coils. These complex impedance spectrum measurements are split into real and imaginary parts, resistance and reactance, respectively. The values of resistance and reactance at each frequency constitute a set of features, each of which is a potential health indicator. Second, the impedance time series at each frequency is correlated with degradation time using Spearman correlation. Next, the Spearman correlation coefficient is plotted against frequency to construct an impedance frequency-correlation diagram, providing an understanding of the extent to which each frequency can be used to monitor the health of the coil, and whether the impedance at each frequency increases or decreases over the aging period. The results indicate that the Spearman correlation coefficient is a tool that can be utilized to identify the frequencies at which to monitor the coil for health monitoring purposes. Furthermore, comparisons between environmental aging tests show the impedance frequency-correlation diagrams can be applied in understanding the mechanisms of degradation.","PeriodicalId":140911,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Prognostics and Health Management (ICPHM)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125710304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vibration signature analysis usually provides a good potential for gearbox incipient fault detection. This article presents an application of frequency analysis on vibration signatures obtained from a faulty gearbox. Experiments were carried out on an accessory gearbox of a J85 engine, which serves on several aircrafts such as Canadair CT-114 Tutor. Real operating system of the gearbox is reconstructed on a test rig located at the National Research Council of Canada. A spalling defect was artificially introduced to a flank of one of the pinions of the gearbox at the meshing section. Vibrations of the gearbox under various operating conditions are measured by an accelerometer mounted on the gearbox housing. Raw signals are first time synchronous-averaged (TSA) to reduce noise and then the averaged signals are transformed into frequency domain for analysis. Order analysis, which represents all frequencies in terms of shafts' rotating frequency, is employed instead of traditional frequency analysis in this investigation. Testing results demonstrate that the fundamental and the second gear mesh frequency (GMF) contain the major features of the gearbox health condition. Analysis results also show that at a constant operating speed, the spalling defect attenuates the power of the fundamental GMF while strengthens the power of the second GMF. Accordingly, the magnitude ratio between the fundamental and the second GMF is introduced as an indicator for spalling defect detection. The fault indicator is capable of clearly distinguishing the normal pinion from the defected one. It is also observed that the proposed fault indicator is robust and is consistent as the load on the gear is varied.","PeriodicalId":140911,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Prognostics and Health Management (ICPHM)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115431920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes an improved SVM based fault diagnosis framework, which consists of two primary components: (1) feature extraction; (2) classification. More specifically, multi-scale principal component analysis (MSPCA) is performed to achieve multi-scale analysis and dimension reduction. Classification combines SVM classifier with parameters optimization method, which further encompasses grid search (GS) and particle swarm optimization (PSO).

However rarely research is done to quantitatively analysis the coupling effect of gas-oil leakage on the absorbing performance. In this paper, the failure simulation and identification of shock absorber is studied by numerical modeling and simulation experiment. To analyze the effect of gas-oil leakage on the shock absorber, the equivalent air spring stiffness is deduced. And Kringing model is introduced to surrogate gas-oil leakage to further present the relation of corresponding shock absorber time to residual gas quantity and oil volume. Then an efficient method is proposed to identify the failure of gas-oil leakage. The simulation experiment is designed to verify the theory presented in this paper. The result of numerical model explains that the gas cushioning property is influenced by both gas and oil property. The simulation model is used to obtain the coupling effect curve of gas-oil leakage on the absorbing time. Eventually the analytical results show that the shock absorber performance varies with different gas-oil ratio caused by gas-oil leakage.","PeriodicalId":140911,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Prognostics and Health Management (ICPHM)","volume":"126 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122074618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

EPS systems not only provide steering assist to drivers but they are also actuators for recently developed active safety features, such as lane keeping and lane changing assist. Failure of some component of the EPS system can lead to walk-home situations and increased warranty costs. Hence, for the improvement of reliability, safety, and efficiency of EPS systems, fault detection, diagnosis, and prognosis become increasingly important. This paper provides fault detection for EPS systems through model-based techniques using parameter estimation to determine the current electric parameters of the EPS motor. In addition, by monitoring the deviation of the self-aligning torque (SAT) estimated from two different methods, changes in EPS mechanical parameters can be detected. The progression of this deviation can be fed into a health state estimator which can give an indication of state of health and remaining useful life. Computer simulations as well as hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) experiments are provided to illustrate this method. Finally, for integrated system diagnosis and fault isolation, a fault signature table is constructed based on estimations of motor parameters, calculations of road SAT, and residuals of parity equations. This table can be used to detect and isolate considered electrical, mechanical, and sensor faults in the EPS system and simulation results are shown to verify the developed ideas.","PeriodicalId":140911,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Prognostics and Health Management (ICPHM)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130608840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
