Rotating shafts are important and responsible components of many machines, such as power generation plants, aircraft engines, machine tool spindles, etc. A transverse shaft crack can occur due to cyclic loading, creep, stress corrosion, and other mechanisms to which rotating machines are subjected. If not detected early, the developing shaft crack can lead to a serious machine damage resulting ...

Unbalance and misalignment are the commonly occurring faults in rotating mechanical systems. These faults are caused mainly due to improper installation or premature failure of the machine components. Detection and diagnosis of faults in rotating machinery is crucial for its optimal performance. In this study artificial neural networks (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM) techniques have been...

in the diesel engine exhaust gas recirculation (egr) components, valve and connecting pipes are the critical components and fails often during new engine development. these components are important for meeting nox emissions norms. therefore design of these components should remain robust. but the challenge in design is compact packaging of complete egr components on the engine consequently vibr...

This study is carried out to understand the effects of Static frequency converter (SFC) on large machine. SFC has a feature of four quadrant operations. By virtue of this it can be implemented to run a synchronous machine either as a motor or alternator. This dual mode operation helps a single machine to start & run as a motor and then it can be converted as an alternator whenever required. One...

Electric machines are driven nowadays by static system popularly known as soft starter. This paper describes a thyristor based static frequency converter (SFC) to run a large synchronous machine installed at a short circuit test laboratory. Normally a synchronous machine requires prime mover or some other driving mechanism to run. This machine doesn’t need a prime mover as it operates in dual m...

Personalized medicine is a hot topic to develop a medical procedure for healthcare. Motivated by molecular dynamics simulation-based personalized medicine, we propose a novel numerical simulation-based personalized diagnosis methodology and explain the fundamental procedures. As an example, a personalized fault diagnosis method is developed using the finite element method (FEM), wavelet packet ...

Performance and reliability of any rotating machine can be studied by proper dynamic analysis of the machine. In this regard, this paper presents the method to study the dynamic response of the shaft of a Pelton turbine due to the impact of water jet. Equations of motion for the bending vibration of Pelton turbine assembly, in two transverse directions, is developed by using Lagrange equation o...

Microelectromechanical systems accelerometers have opened new possibilities for vibration monitoring of a rotating machinery. They enable mounting directly to the component machine, e.g., shaft. This enables not only measurement lateral but also torsional machine. increases data gathered from machine by one instrument. article presents an on-shaft wireless universal unit (UMU) with innovative c...
