Model-Based Fault Diagnosis Approach for Rotor System with Unidentified Supporting Parameters

摘要

The model based diagnosis method can detect both the fault location and the fault extent of the rotating machinery at the same time as it can combine the dynamics and fault diagnosis method together. However, the modal test of the supporting part is necessary when using the existing model based method, and the precision of the modal test results make a strong impact on the diagnosis results. In order to improve this case, an improved model based diagnosis method is presented herein by combining the fixed-interface modal synthesis method with the traditional model based diagnosis method. The DOF of the unidentified parameter due to the supporting parts are partitioned to interface DOF, and the displacement information of the supporting parts can be measured by the mounted sensors. Therefore, the model based diagnosis method can be carried out by only using the parameters of the rotor without considering the effects from the supporting, which can greatly improve the diagnosis precision and efficiency. This method is fit for the rotor systems with unidentified supporting parameter, and the rotor systems with unknown nonlinear supporting parameter. Both the numerical simulation results and the experiment results in the example proved the efficiency of this method.
