Abstract:Vibration response signals containing periodic components such as obtained from rotating equipment, gears, etc., can be effectively analyzed in the frequency domain. The averaging of spectra wherein the Fourier transform operation is synchronized with a particular periodic component, will reinforce that frequency component and all of its harmonics, while all nonsynchronous data will tend to be nonreinforced, thereby enhancing the synchronous spectral components. Features such as gear teeth and turbine blade pa… Show more
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.
