Description

This course aims at providing students with the necessary tools and knowledge in the field of monitoring the health of rotary machines. Machine condition monitoring topics cover, but are not limited to, oil analysis, reliability and maintenance management of machines, failure modes, symptoms of failure and corrective maintenance. A core part of this subject explores measuring and analysing the vibrations of rotary machines. This involves what to measure, as well as where and when, and transducers and signal processing algorithms for fault diagnosis and prognosis

Sensors and transducer interface to computers. Vibration signatures of faults in rotating and reciprocating machines, detection and diagnosis of faults; characterisation of signatures; prediction of service life and maintenance procedures. Project on measuring a parameter indicating a possible failure.
