Statistical Analysis of Vibration Signals for Monitoring Gear Condition


Abstract in English

This paper presents a study on the application of vibration signals to detect the presence of defects in gears. Several gear failure prediction methods were investigated and applied to experimental data from a test gear apparatus. The primary objective was to provide a baseline understanding of the prediction methods and to evaluate their diagnostic capabilities. The methods investigated use the signal average in both the time and frequency domain to detect gear failure.
