A Comparison of Advanced Techniques for Monitoring the Condition of Machinery

conference paper
Within the project described in this paper, the objective of condition monitoring is to detect (upcoming) failures as early as possible, to minimise damage to the machinery. The involvement of humans within the condition monitoring process is being reduced by incorporation of advanced and intelligent monitoring systems. We describe and compare three different state-of-the-art condition monitoring techniques: first principles, advanced feature extraction and pattern recognition, and neural networks. Each description provides an enumeration of the advantages and disadvantages. The techniques were explored and tested by applying them to the condition monitoring of a diesel engine using the torsional vibration of the outgoing shaft, using actually measured data.
