Opis

Rolling element bearings are at the heart of almostevery rotating machine. They have received a lot ofattention in the field of vibration analysis as theyrepresent a common source of faults, which can bedetected at an early stage. This book provides aninsight into the vibrations of defective rollingelement bearings with the aim of improving theirreliability, developing state of the art vibrationanalysis algorithms and improving the understandingof the interactions between bearings and gears. Thebook touches on the three main areas, which arerelevant to the condition monitoring of rollingelement bearings. These are diagnostics, prognosticsand fault simulation. A novel signal-processingalgorithm to diagnose localized faults in rollingelement bearings has been developed. The problem ofmodelling the vibration signals from a spalledbearing in a gearbox environment has been discussed.The book is written for researchers, academics,reliability and maintenance engineers who work in thefiled of machine condition health usage andmonitoring and have an interest in vibration signalprocessing, dynamic fault simulations, faultdetection, and remaining useful life prognosis
