Abstract

Diagnosis and condition monitoring in rotating machinery has been a subject of intense research for the last century. Recent developments indicate the drive towards integration of diagnosis and prognosis algorithms in future integrated vehicle health management (IVHM) systems. With this in mind, this paper concentrates on highlighting some of the latest research on common faults in rotating machines. Eight key faults have been described; the selected faults include unbalance, misalignment, rub/looseness, fluid-induced instability, bearing failure, shaft cracks, blade cracks, and shaft bow. Each of these faults has been detailed with regard to sensors, fault identification techniques, localization, prognosis, and modeling. The intent of the paper is to highlight the latest technologies pioneering the drive towards next-generation IVHM systems for rotating machinery.

Highlights

  • The topic of diagnosing and prognosing faults in rotating machinery is an ongoing subject of research, with many developments published in a range of conferences and journals annually

  • It is intended that the work should provide a broad reference and summary for working engineers on some of the latest developments in rotordynamic fault diagnosis and prognosis, with specific application to papers of industrial relevance for the drive towards future integrated vehicle health management (IVHM) systems

  • The results indicated by the paper are perhaps not as convincing as some other methods discussed in this paper, it describes an interesting “outside the box” method of tackling common problems

Summary

Introduction

The topic of diagnosing and prognosing faults in rotating machinery is an ongoing subject of research, with many developments published in a range of conferences and journals annually. It is intended that the work should provide a broad reference and summary for working engineers on some of the latest developments in rotordynamic fault diagnosis and prognosis, with specific application to papers of industrial relevance for the drive towards future IVHM systems. As research into the diagnosis and prognosis of faults in rotating machines is a developing topic, the application of such technologies in industry has not yet reached a stage where there are common solutions, or even a set of established procedures to follow. This holds true with regards to the broader fields of IVHM. (iii) Detail the current state of the art and the future work required for generation IVHM systems for rotating machinery
