Fault identification of rotor machine based on optimized method

The size and complexity of modern equipment require more advanced fault diagnosis techniques. Different from signal analysis based methods, a dynamic model based diagnosis technique can further diagnose the location and severity of the fault, and detect multiple faults at one time. A model based fault diagnosis method was developed to identify typical faults of rotating machinery. This method can identify mass unbalances, crack locations and sizes, and oil film parameters in rotating machinery by optimization methods and dynamics simulation technique. Numerical and experimental results demonstrate that the method is useful for detecting faults of rotating systems.
