Evaluation of Sensors for On-Board Diesel Oil Condition Monitoring of U.S. Army Ground Equipment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The U.S. Army Tank-Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC) recently completed a Science and Technology Objective (STO) to develop and demonstrate a compact on-board smart sensor system for monitoring the operational condition of in-service diesel engine oils. The goal of such technologies is to reduce or eliminate the Army’s dependence on traditional oil analysis methods, by providing real-time condition monitoring and to project the remaining usable life of the lubricant. Commercially available and prototype sensors were obtained and evaluated on a diesel test engine. Algorithms were then developed from the sensor and laboratory data to determine the real-time condition of the oil and to calculate the remaining usable life of the oil.

Title : A Computer Based Instructional Environment for Machine Condition Monitoring in Engineering Education
The US Army is actively transforming its Aviation Maintenance from current practice to one where maintenance action is based on evidence of need using an increased number of embedded sensors and diagnostic equipment. Several demonstrations of HUMS system capabilities have been conducted to adopt these systems to the US Army environment and to identify the costs and risks. Benefits expected from...
متن کاملWheelset Condition Monitoring based on pass-by vibration signals
Apart from regular wheel wear such as decreasing wheel diameters and reduced flange thicknesses and heights, wheel flats (WF) and oval wheels (or OOR, Out-Of-Roundness) are the most common wheelset problems for railway vehicles. Within the FP7 Research Project “Saferail”, APT has developed an innovative wheelset monitoring system so-called “Wheel flat and Out of Roundness Monitoring (WORM) syst...
