Harmonic component detection: Optimized Spectral Kurtosis for operational modal analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
This work is a contribution in the field of Operational Modal Analysis to identify the modal parameters of mechanical structures using only measured responses. The study deals with structural responses coupled with harmonic components amplitude and frequency modulated in a short range, a common combination for mechanical systems with engines and other rotating machines in operation. These harmonic components generate misleading data interpreted erroneously by the classical methods used in OMA. The present work attempts to differentiate maxima in spectra stemming from harmonic components and structural modes. The detection method proposed is based on the so-called Optimized Spectral Kurtosis and compared with others definitions of Spectral Kurtosis described in the literature. After a parametric study of the method, a critical study is performed on numerical simulations and then on an experimental structure in operation in order to assess the method’s performance.

Research in the Operational Modal Analysis of Rotating Machinery Reducer
In operational modal analysis process of the rotating machinery, it is always difficult to adopt usual modal analysis methods in parameter correction because of the modal parameter identification problems caused by harmonic modes. A technique to distinguish harmonic and structural modes is proposed here, that is, through frequency domain decomposition (FDD) of the vibration signals power spectr...
متن کاملOperational Modal Analysis on Structures with Rotating Parts
Operational Modal Analysis was originally invented for vibration analysis on civil engineering structures exposed to ambient excitation being purely stochastic and broadband in nature. When performing Operational Modal Analysis on civil or mechanical engineering structures with dominating rotating parts, the original algorithms are often inadequate in providing accurate results due to determini...

متن کاملAdvanced Operational Modal Analysis Methods for Linear Time Periodic System Identification
Often structural dynamic systems cannot be modeled with constant stiffness, mass and damping. For example, wind turbines, helicopters, turbomachinery, and a variety of nonlinear structures linearized about a periodic limit cycle all may contain time-periodic terms in their equations of motion even if the equations are still linear. Linear time periodic systems such as these may exhibit parametr...
