The paper proposes new and simple indicators of cyclostationarity for the characterization of stochastic processes whose statistics are periodically varying with respect to some generic variables. Indicators of cyclostationarity from first to fourth order are introduced and their statistical properties are derived. In order to illustrate the use of these indicators, an application to the diagnosis...Show More
This paper introduces the application of third order cyclic statistics for vibration signals in rotating machinery. It is shown for the first time that these vibration signals display third-order cyclostationarity under some conditions. A model of signals modulated in amplitude and phase is used in order to compute the cyclic bispectrum, a third-order cyclic statistical parameter, in the frequency...Show More
The Random Decrement method is a computationally simple technique which was initially proposed in the control engineering field for the recovery of impulse responses of systems under operation. This paper demonstrates the advantage of formalising this exotic technique in the context of digital signal processing, thus bringing it to the fore of modern blind identification methods. The discrete Rand...Show More
We show that a nonstationary approach can be preferred to a nonlinear one for the study of some nonlinear phenomena. We prove that the spectral correlation could detect and determine precisely a nonlinear phenomenon. Moreover, in terms of diagnosis on helicopter gearboxes (known for their strong nonlinearity), this tool is much more efficient than the bispectrum. Finally, we introduce an algorithm...Show More
Rotor asymmetries lead to perturbations of airgap flux patterns in induction machines. These perturbations in flux components affect the electromagnetic torque, as well as stator currents and voltages. The supervision of these signals enables the detection of underlying mechanical asymmetries. The effect of mechanical imperfections on stator signals can be negligible in certain cases. Thus, this m...Show More
The aim of our study is to compare two a priori different approaches: bilinearity and cyclostationarity. Indeed, we underline that cyclostationary and bilinear tools make it possible to determine both nonlinear and nonstationary links. These results are based on calculations, simulations for synthetic signals and finally applications to industrial signals. Then, we introduce different applications...Show More
We present the preliminary results of a project developed in the scope of the EC Leonardo da Vinci program. The objective of this project is to develop a CD-ROM for education and training in the domain of signal processing for the acoustic and vibration diagnosis of rotating machines. The project will cover basic methods of signal processing which apply in the relevant domain. The CD-ROM is organi...Show More
