Fundamentals of Gear-Health Monitoring (at Gear Expo)
November 3, 2011 | 8:00 am - 12:00 pm
Gear Expo, Cincinnati, OH
Instructors: Dr. William D. Mark, Senior Scientist in the Drivetrain Technology Center at The Pennsylvania State University Applied Research Laboratory Professor Emeritus of Acoustics
Jason A. Hines, research engineer at The Pennsylvania State University Applied Research Laboratory
This session will present a physical understanding of how damage on gear teeth and gear bodies affect the vibration excitation caused by meshing gears, and how such damage can be detected by remote fixed sensors such as accelerometers.
The seminar will also present:
- A definition of transmission-error as the principal source of gear-vibration excitations
- Why frequency-analysis is most effective for understanding contributing causes of gear-vibration excitations
- An understanding of sources of frequency-spectrum lines caused by meshing gears
- What synchronous averaging is and why it is needed
- The optimum choice of number of time-domain segments to use in synchronous averages
- Methods for early detection of damage
- Appropriate sensors and hardware for specific monitoring applications
