Abstract

Misalignment is a common source of vibrations in rotating machinery such as gearboxes. In this paper novel short-time higher order chirp-Fourier transform (STHOCFT) is applied for misalignment detection of multi-stage gearboxes. STHOCFT is an adaptive technique and is capable of handling non-linear polynomial variation of instantaneous frequency in time. The proposed technique is suitable for both constant and variable speeds of the gearbox. The technology for the misalignment detection is based on the analysis of magnitudes of the bicoherence components based on STHOCFT involving low shaft orders. Separation between the features corresponding to normal and misalignment condition are quantified by Fisher Criterion. Using the Weighted Majority Rule based decision making technique; the estimate of the total probability of correct diagnosis is 100% for the estimated features.
