Abstract
Conventional time-frequency representation (TFR) methods have played an important role in characterizing the time-frequency (TF) pattern of the nonstationary signal. In this paper, a new TFR algorithm, called matching demodulation transform (MDT), is introduced to extract the feature of highly oscillating frequency modulation for rotor rub-impact fault. When the early rub-impact fault occurs in the rotor system, the vibration signals will present frequency modulation feature because of the periodic rub-impact between the stator and the rotor. Through an iterative demodulation procedure, the highly oscillating frequency modulation feature is represented with satisfactory energy concentration in TF plane. The validity of the technique is then demonstrated on a real rotor system of a gas turbine with rub-impact fault. The analysis result of this application shows that the MDT method is powerful in the analysis of frequency modulation signals and is an effective tool for the feature extraction of rub-impact faults.
