Separation of vibratory components in complex systems for condition monitoring
Résumé
Mechanical signals are often a mixture of multiple components produced by different sources within multiple subsystems. The separation of these components is beneficial for differential diagnosis, fault severity assessment and prognosis. The synchronous average (SA) is a powerful and widely used technique for this purpose, providing optimal estimation performance and simplicity. However, the complexity of such systems often implies the existence of several spectral interferences, which jeopardize the straightforward application of the SA. This paper addresses this issue by proposing a general strategy based on the synchronous average and the set theory, to isolate each vibratory contribution related to a source of interest, while accounting for spectral interferences. This approach enables a comprehensive understanding of the system’s health status and the ability to locate specific issues within a subsystem. The proposed methodology is demonstrated through an example of an accessory gearbox vibration signal acquired during a ground test campaign on a CFM56 turbojet engine.
