Machine condition monitoring, Part 2: using order analysis for condition monitoring.(Gabor expansion)

Sensors Magazine, June, 2003 by Sedlak, Michael

Modern condition monitoring systems require state-of-the-art vibration acquisition as well as powerful analysis capability. In Part 2 of this two-part series, we take a closer look at one of the popular analysis techniques for advanced machine monitoring and diagnostics.

In Part 1, we discussed how maintenance programs have evolved from simple monitoring systems that determined the need for maintenance to modern, more flexible systems that assist with severity assessment and process optimization. Advances in computer-based instrumentation have enabled this evolution in machine ...
