MATERIALS REFERENCE ISSUE Ability to both feel and hear the results of engineering decisions via a “virtual car” – simultaneous engineering – can significantly shorten vehicle development time. Sound quality and discrete vibration at the driver’s position may be predicted and ‘driven’ before the first prototype is built. Although sound quality cannot yet be predicted in an unknown chassis, the ...

The strong vibration of reciprocating pump in oil transportation station pipeline system will seriously affect the safe running of the equipment and pipeline. And the resonance between pipe and equipment will cause more severe damage. Therefore before the formal operation of station, not only static stress analysis, but also modal analysis and vibration analysis are necessary for the reciprocat...

Vibration-based condition monitoring and fault diagnosis is an effective approach to maintain the reliable operation of a scroll compressor. Unfortunately, the vibration signal from the scroll compressor always has characteristics of being non-linear and non-stationary, which makes vibration signal analysis and fault feature extraction very difficult. To extract the significant fault features, ...

A tremendous amount of research has been performed on the design and analysis of vibration energy harvester architectures with the goal of optimizing power output; most studies assume idealized input vibrations without paying much attention to whether such idealizations are broadly representative of real sources. These “idealized input signals” are typically derived from the expected nature of ...

Engine mount is purposed to control an excessive motion generated from powertrain system and to isolate vibration and noise to be transmitted to main system. As vibration design of engine mount is one of the main items on the phase of vehicle development, the design should be optimized considering various design variables and uncertainties. In the study, design optimization of engine mount for ...

Traditional linear spectral analysis techniques of the vibration signals, based on auto-power spectrum, are used as common tools of rotating components diagnoses. Unfortunately, linear spectral analysis techniques are of limited value when various spectral components interact with one another due to nonlinear or parametric process. In such a case, higher order spectral (HOS) techniques are reco...

In this paper, bispectral analysis of vibration signals is used to assess health conditions of different rotatingcomponents in an AH-64D helicopter tail rotor drive train. First, cross-bispectral analysis is used to investigate drive-shaft faulted conditions -namely misalignment, imbalance, and a combination of misalignment and imbalance -with respect to a baseline case. The magnitude of the cr...
