Why Vibration Monitoring?


Almost all faults show themselves up in a changed vibration behavior
For most structural and rotor parts. gears, bearings, rotors, belts, cracks, couplings etc

Vibration is very sensitive to fault severity Machine never required to shut down, stopped and inspected. The process of vibration measurement is online. continuous and convenient 23 Non-intrusive, nondestructive.

Vibration or Process Parameter Monitoring??? Offline inspections Most faults show up in vibration response Vibration Monitoring: convenient and most suitable to online diagnostics

TSA Time Synchronous Average

By synchronizing the sampling of the vibration signal with the rotation of a particular gear and evaluating the ensemble average over many revolutions with the start of each frame at the same angular position, a signal called time-synchronous average (TSA) is obtained, which in practice contains only the components which are synchronous with the revolution of the gear in question. As a matter of fact, this process strongly reduces the effects of all other sources, including other gears, and the noise

NEED?
Varying window size
To determine more accurately either time or frequency

Wavelet Analysis A windowing technique with variable sized regions Allows use of long time intervals where we need more precise low-frequency information & use of shorter regions where we want highfrequency information

75

Wavelet
Wavelet means a small wave The function that defines a wavelet integrates to zero It is local in the sense that it decays to zero when sufficiently far from its center It is square integrable, i.e., it has finite energy

76

Wavelets
Signals with sharp sudden changes could be better analyzed with an irregular wavelet than with a smooth sinusoid In other words, local features can be better captured with wavelets which have local extent

98

Gear Fault detection using Wavelets


Difficult to evaluate the spacing and evolution of sideband families Several gear pairs other mechanical components Contribute to the overall vibration. Local faults in gears produce impacts transient modifications in vibration signals. Signals have to be considered as non-stationary Most of the widely used signal processing techniques are based on the assumption of stationarity and globally characterize signals. Not fully suitable for detecting short-duration dynamic phenomena. Wavelet transform (WT) is better suited in such situations.

From the above WT map of TSA vibration, it is possible to clearly distinguish the transient effects introduced by the cracked tooth. Moreover, such a procedure makes it possible to localize the damage in100 most of the cross-sections.

Acoustic Emission Technique


AE is the phenomena of transient elastic wave generation due to a rapid release of strain energy caused by a structural alteration in a solid material under mechanical or thermal stresses. The most commonly measured AE parameters are peak amplitude, counts and events of the signal. Some studies indicate that Acoustic emission measurements are better than vibration measurements and can detect a defect even before it appears in vibration acceleration.

Fault Detection in Rolling Element Bearing


Techniques: (1) Vibration Based Methods: (a) Time Domain: Though parameters such as overall RMS level, crest factor, probability density and kurtosis. Among these, kurtosis is the most effective. (b) Frequency Domain: The direct vibration spectrum from a defective bearing may not indicate the defect at the initial stage. Some signal processing techniques are therefore, used. The high-frequency resonance technique is the most popular of these. (2) Shock Pulse Method: The shock pulses caused by the impacts in the bearings initiate damped oscillations in the transducer at its resonant frequency. Measurement of the maximum value of the damped transient gives an indication of the condition of rolling bearings. The maximum normalized shock value is a measure of the bearing condition. 110

113

Vibration Monitoring
There is a strong negative correlation between the overall vibration level for a bearing, and the expected life of that bearing. Put simply, the higher the overall vibration level to which the bearing is subjected, then the shorter the expected life of the bearing. Second, it should be recognised that bearing vibration can be induced by applying cyclical forces from two sources, either: From forces originating within the bearing (e.g. those due to impending bearing failure), or From forces applied to the bearing from external effects. Misalignment Improper bearing installation Rotor imbalance Pump cavitation Flow induced vibration, Etc.

114

Vibration Monitoring
Journal Bearings Besides the forces of kinematic origin and friction forces in the journal bearings, the forces act hat are the results of nonlinear interaction of the static load with the friction forces. These forces accompany the rotor selfoscillations in the bearings. The rotor self-oscillations in the journal bearings are very much alike the pendulum oscillations of the rotor in relation to the equilibrium position in the lowest point of the bearing. The rotor is shifted from the equilibrium position by the friction forces and is returned in it by the gravity force. The reason of this unstable equilibrium is the nonlinear dependence of the friction forces from the thickness of the lubrication layer that grows while the rotor position deviates from the equilibrium position. The self-oscillation frequency is the lesser the larger is the gap in the bearing, i.e. the more is the bearing's wear.
115

Vibration Monitoring
As a rule the rotor self-oscillation frequency changes abruptly from the RPM to 1/2 RPM but sometimes, with increasing the wear, to 1/3 RPM. The reason of the rotor self-oscillation can be not only its wear, but also the decreased quality of lubricant or failure in feed lubrication. The self-oscillation can appear also in the rolling element bearings but only with large wear. The frequency of the rotor self-oscillation in the rolling element bearings as a rule coincides with the second order of the rotating frequency of the cage. The shock forces that act in the journal bearings can be of two types. A "dry" shock with the disruption of the lubrication layer is very dangerous but it appears very seldom and is accompanied with significant growth of high frequency vibration.
116

Vibration Monitoring
"Hydraulic" shock does not disrupt the lubrication layer, but because of uneven wear of the bearing in the loaded zone, where the thickness and the velocity of the lubrication flow jump, the turbulent breakaway of the flow occurs. The moment of the breakaway of the flow is sensed by the measuring system as a shock, accompanied by an impulse increase of the high frequency vibration. Such shock does not lead to fast destruction of the bearing but it is a cause of fast uneven wear. The friction forces in the journal bearing are rather stronger than in the rolling element bearings but as the high frequency bearing vibration, when there is no turbulence of the lubrication flow, is activated only by the boundary friction, the random vibration of the journal bearing is significantly lower than in the rolling element bearings.
117

Shock Pulse Analysis (SPA) The SPA technique has been specifically developed for the condition monitoring of rolling element bearings. The technique is based on the fact that any damage in rolling element bearings will cause mechanical impacts that will generate ultrasonic shock waves. The magnitude of these impacts is a measure of the condition of the bearings. The magnitude of impacts depends on impact velocity, which depends on defect size and bearings speed and size.
118

The transducer of the shock pulse meter (SPM) is a piezoelectric accelerometer tuned mechanically and electronically to a resonant frequency around 32 kHz. The shock wave is propagated through the bearing housing, and when the shock pulse hits the transducer, damped oscillations are initiated at the resonant frequency of the transducer. The amplitude increase of the damped resonant oscillation gives an indication of the condition of the rolling element bearings. The transducer signal is processed electronically to filter out low frequency vibrations such as inbalance, misalignment and other structurerelated vibrations. The decibel (dB) unit is used to measure the shock value to accommodate a large range of shock values of good and damaged bearings.

119

The bearing race surfaces will always have a certain degree of roughness. So, when a bearing rotates, this surface roughness causes mechanical impacts with rolling elements. The shock pulse value generated by good bearings due to surface roughness has been found empirically to be dependent upon the bearing bore diameter and speed. This value, called initial value (dBi), is subtracted from the shock value of the test bearing to obtain a normalized shock pulse value (dBN). The digital shock pulse meter gives the reading directly in dBN. The shock pulse meter gives two values namely the maximum shock value (dBM) and the carpet value (dBC), as shown in Figure 5.8.

120

The maximum shock value is a measure of low rate (LR) impacts, and the carpet value is a measure of high rate (HR) impacts. HR impacts may exceed 1000 impacts per second and LR impacts may exceed 25 impacts per second. An increase in dBM value without an increase in dBC value is an indication of damaged bearings. Increase in both dBM and dBC value is an indication of lubrication problems. Manufacturers of SPM instruments supply a diagnostic table based on dBM and dBC. 121

Residual vibrations representing fault in the system is given as r=r(t)-r0(t) The equivalent (virtual) loads induce the change in the dynamic behavior of the undamaged linear model If the vectorial difference r is found out, from the known system matrices, F can be found, wherefrom the fault can be estimated. To identify fault parameters, the difference between the virtual forces from measured data and theoretical fault model is minimised using the least square method 133

B&K Application note: Detecting Faulty Rolling Element Bearings


Why do they fail? Rolling element bearings fail because of: manufacturing errors; improper assembly, loading, operation, or lubrication; or because of too harsh an environment. How do they fail? Most failure modes for rolling element bearings involve the growth of discontinuities on the bearing raceway or on a rotating element. 155
