Frequency Band Energy Statistics Method and the Applications in Monitoring the Work Conditions for Mechanical Equipments

Abstract:

A new manner, named frequency band energy statistics method, has been proposed for the analysis of the spectra from the vibration signals. The recorded vibration signals were first divided into multi-segments. Then each segment was calculated via the FFT transformation and 1/3 octave spectrum to obtained the characteristics of energy distribution, by making the histogram maps of the obtained features of the frequency energies. Consequently, we can monitor the work conditions and fault diagnosis for the mechanical equipments by the compared analysis of the corresponding histogram maps of equipments with normal and abnormal work conditions. The results show that present method exhibits a very strong sensitivity to the changes of vibration signal, leading to the fine detection of the minor changes form the equipment work conditions. Current work might provide a novel and facile method for definitely monitoring the work conditions and fault diagnosis of the mechanical equipments.
