چکیده

The vibration signatures of a normally aspirated diesel engine contain valuable information on the health of the combustion chamber components. It could be used to detect incipient faults in the engine. Several commonly occurring faults were induced in a 4-stroke diesel engine and the ensuing vibration signals recorded. Three diierent feature extraction techniques: Domain expertise, wavelet analysis and principal components analysis (PCA), were compared to evaluate the eeectiveness of each method. The extracted features were then used to develop artiicial neural nets based fault diagnostic systems. It was found that the best results were obtained with the wavelets based feature extraction technique. However, each of the three systems was shown to exhibit a high degree of accuracy. In a separate study, ensembles of 3 nets were created. The majority of ensembles performed better than any of the constituent nets, thus demonstrating the power of the technique of combining neural nets in majority voting systems.

Development of balance shaft and flywheel for single cylinder diesel engine based on analytical approach and comparison with the simulation result

Vibration is a key factor of abrasion and destruction in the internal combustion engine. In internal combustion engines, the main causes of vibration is combustion pressure, connecting rod weight, piston weight and inertial forces. This vibration create corrosion and fracture in main part of engine such as crankshaft, camshaft and cylinder block in long time. This corrosion and fracture is effe...

Real-time Inspection and Monitoring of Marine Diesel Engine Mechanical Parts by Computer Vision

Marine diesel engines’ parts are under various loads, usually time-varying, during their normal operation. This causes complex dynamical state of stress, and can produce unwanted high deformations and degradation of material, give a rise to critical crack growth and, finally, to failure of one or more of the engine parts.. The effect is further emphasized by marine atmosphere. This paper propos...
