DAY 1 - Monday, July 10th | ||
Time Slot | Title | Contents Notes |
08:30 – 09:00 | Welcome and Introductions | All participants |
09:00 – 09:30 | Introduction to vibration - based condition monitoring | Transducers and their application areas; introduction to all three phases of condition monitoring, i.e. fault detection, diagnosis and prognosis; online vs intermittent monitoring |
09:30 – 10:30 | Basic vibration analysis | Interpretation of vibrations as an interplay of spring, damping and inertial forces. Graphical impedance/mobility methods (Salter) and importance of whether force or motion is common to the spring/mass/damper elements. Extension to multi degree of freedom (MDOF) systems. Introduction to convolution. |
10:30 – 10:45 | Break | |
10:45 – 12:00 | Vibration signatures and signal types | Signal classification – stationary, slowly varying, transient, deterministic, random, cyclostationary; Fault signatures – low harmonics of shaft speed (e.g. unbalance, misalignment); faults in gears, bearings, bladed machines, electrical machines, reciprocating machines. |
12:00 – 13:00 | Lunch | |
13:00 – 14:00 | Signal processing - Frequency analysis | Fourier analysis, including the importance of dimensions, units and scaling of the different forms of the Fourier transform; graphical methods based on interpretation of Fourier analysis in terms of rotating vectors and the convolution theorem. |
14:00 – 14:45 | Signal processing - Hilbert transform | Hilbert transform and calculation by FFT; Amplitude and phase/frequency demodulation; application to envelope analysis, gear diagnostics. |
14:45 – 15:00 | Break | |
15:00 – 16:00 | Signal separation and enhancement | Separation of gear and bearing signals by a variety of methods; enhancement of bearing signals using the kurtogram and spectral correlation. |
16:00 – 17:00 | Bearing diagnostics | A semi-automated method for a wide range of situations and speeds, based on envelope analysis of an optimum demodulation band after separation of bearing signals. |
17:00 – 17:15 | Group discussion | |
18:00 - | Dinner (Networking for all participants) |
