Sound visualization methods and techniques are currently applied in various fields to identify and locate individual sources of noise. Conveyor systems are used in various industrial plants. Conveyors require regular inspection and maintenance. In some operations, conveyor systems are difficult to access for the maintenance purposes. During their operation, conveyor systems contribute to increasing the noise levels. The increased noise emitted by a conveyor may signal the failure of a certain part of the system. Such failures can be identified by a sound visualization device and contribute to an effective maintenance of conveyor systems. The paper analyzes specific conveyor systems and identified potential failures of these conveyor systems by using sound visualization methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
