Gearbox Condition Estimation Using Cyclo-Stationary Properties of Vibration Signal

Abstract

The paper explores the cyclo-stationary properties of vibration signals for estimation of gearbox condition. The advantage of such approach may be clearly seen especially for so called multi-faults problem, i.e. for more than one faults that occurred in the system. In complex mechanical systems like multistage gearboxes, such situation may be often seen. Although this approach becomes more and more popular, it has been noticed that there is difficult to find examples highlighting its potential, especially for …
