This paper presents an application of Lamb-wave-based damage detection under varying temperature conditions. The method used is based on the cointegration technique and wavelet analysis that are partially built on the analysis of non-stationary behaviour and multi-resolution decomposition of time series, respectively. Instead of directly using Lamb wave data for damage detection, two approaches are used: (1) analysis of cointegrating residuals obtained from the cointegration process of Lamb wave responses and (2) analysis of stationary characteristics of the multi-level wavelet decomposed cointegrating residuals. These two approaches are tested on undamaged and damaged aluminium plates exposed to temperature variations. The experimental results show that the method can isolate damage-sensitive features from the temperature effect and reliably detect damage.

The use of composites in the aircraft industry has generated a great need for structural health monitoring and damage detection systems, to allow for safer use of complex materials. Such is the case with helicopter blades - these components nowadays are mostly composed of carbon fiber or glass fiber reinforced plastics laminates, epoxy and honeycomb filled core structures. The use of composite materials on the main rotor blade also allows for more complex and efficient shapes to be designed, but at the same time, their use requires an additional effort when it comes to structural monitoring, since damage can occur and go unnoticed. This work presents experimental results for structural health monitoring method based on strain energy. The test subject is a full-scale composite helicopter main rotor blade, which is a highly flexible, slender beam that can display unusual dynamic behavior with orthotropic behavior. This damage detection method is based on the modal strain properties, and a damage detection index is used to identify and quantify damage. A test setup was built to carry out an experimental modal analysis on the main rotor blade. For that purpose, a total of 55 uniaxial accelerometers were used on the helicopter blade to measure the displacement modes of the structure. To compute the strain modes from the displacement modes, central differences approximation is used. Damage is introduced on the blade by attaching a small mass to two different locations. Experimental results show the possibility of locating damage in this case.

Harmonic wavelet function, with the strict box-shaped characteristic of spectrum, has strong ability of identifying signal in frequency domain, and can extract weak components form vibration signals in frequency domain. Using harmonic wavelet analysis method, the selected frequency region and other frequency components of vibration signal of mine ventilator were decomposed into independent frequency bands without any over-lapping or leaking. Simulation and diagnosis example show that this method has good fault diagnosis effect, and the ventilator fault is diagnosed successfully.

Signal measuring is an important link in machine fault diagnosis. Accurate and reliable fault signals can be achieved by reasonable signal measuring. When the distance between sensor and measuring gear or bearing is comparatively far, the collected signals became weak and disturbed by other vibratory signals in equipments on bearing and gear fault analysis. Useful signals often were submerged in powerful noise, so caused difficult in extracting fault feature. In this paper, according to the feature of vibratory signals in machine test, wavelet analysis basic theory was applied on researching basic feature of wavelet analysis. By selecting suitable wavelet function and applying wavelet elimination noise technology the signal to noise ratio of signal was raised, thus the vibratory impact component can be measured in weak signals. Finally, wavelet analysis was applied on bearing fault diagnosis.
