Detailed mathematical models of gear vibrations have appeared in recent years, but to utilize them requires a detailed knowledge of the gearbox components and their dynamic properties. This paper presents an alternative approach which is applicable to the monitoring and diagnosis of gearbox faults based on an analysis of changes in the vibration signal, showing how these can be related back to various classes of fault. Most emphasis is placed on the effects of the various types of faults on the spectrum, but the applicability of two other techniques, viz., synchronous signal averaging and cepstrum analysis, is also discussed comparatively, making use of practical examples.

Almost all real-life structures are assembled from components connected by various types of joints. Unlike many other parts, the dynamic properties of a joint are difficult to model analytically. An alternative approach for establishing a theoretical model of a joint is to extract the model parameters from experimental data using joint identification techniques. The accuracy of the identification is significantly affected by the properties of the joints themselves. If a joint is stiff, its properties are often difficult to identify accurately. This is because the responses at both ends of the joint are linearly-dependent. To make things worse, the existence of a stiff joint can also affect the accuracy of identification of other effective joints (the term “effective joints” in this paper refers to those joints which otherwise can be identified accurately). This problem is tackled by coupling these stiff joints using a generalized coupling technique, and then the properties of the remaining joints are identified using a joint identification technique. The accuracy of the joint identification can usually be improved by using this approach. Both numerically simulated and experimental results are presented.

Determining the dynamic properties of structures is important for understanding their seismic behaviour. Ambient vibration signal measurement is one of the approaches used to determine the period of structures. Advantages of this method include the possibility of taking real-time records and presenting nondestructive and rapid solutions. In this study, natural vibration periods are calculated by taking ambient vibration signal records from 40 buildings. The height of the building, infill wall effect, presence of seismic retrofit, and presence of damage are taken into consideration, and their effects on natural vibration periods are investigated. Moreover, the results are compared with the analytical methods to reveal the differences. A significant correlation between the period and height of the building is observed. It is seen that the natural vibration periods of the buildings decrease by 7% to 30% (15% on average) due to infill wall contribution. However, the efficiency of infill walls decreases as the building height increases. Another significant result is that adding shear walls substantially decreases the vibration period values by 23% to 33% with respect to the shear wall ratio. When the analytical estimates and measured building period results are compared, it is seen that analytical models have closer period estimates before infill walls are implemented. The limited data in scope of the study suggest that significant differences may present in the analytical and measured periods of the buildings due to infill wall contributions.

To resolve the problems of small module gear measurement with traditional methods, a new method for measuring the tooth profile deviations of small module gear using the optical image measuring instrument is put forward. According to the ISO 1328-1, the mathematical models of total profile deviation, profile form deviation and profile slope deviation are proposed. The involute profile measurement schemes are given. The results show that tooth profile coordinate values of small module gear can be measured automatically and effectively with the optical image measuring instrument, and the provided method has higher precision of getting measuring points and less fitting error of tooth profile.

Based on the theoretical analysis of forming shoulder used in fill-and-seal packaging machine, this paper presented the 2-D and 3-D mathematical models of offset bending curve jointing the vertical tube and shoulder parts. According to the technology widely used in the manufacturers, the theoretical basis was provided for preparing the rough parts to make the shoulders. Furthermore, a new method using test tube was proposed to check the shape curve and locate the shoulder parts before welding. Transformed from 3-D offset bending curve, the 2-D cutting data of test tube was also provided for practical use.

Raman spectroscopic data have been obtained with the use of direct current (dc) signal detection, an IBM PC/AT microcomputer, and commercially available software. Since photomultiplier currents of the order of nanoamps to microamps are readily attained for Raman emission under conditions of moderate laser excitation power levels (150–200 mW) and medium resolution spectral slits (1–4 cm−1), signal levels well within the domain measurable by dc signal detection techniques are achieved for a wide range of chemical and biochemical samples. Further, the digitization and signal averaging capabilities of generic data acquisition boards and microcomputers allow dc detection to yield signal-to-noise ratios competitive with those derived from complementary pulse-counting techniques.

When early faults occur in rotating machine, the vibration signal being extraction the often contain heavy background noise .In this paper the analysis of degree of cyclostationarity (DCS) was proposed to vibration signal extraction of rotating machine. This method can overcome the shortcoming of Hilbert transformation that will be influenced by many factors, such as end effect, sampling frequency and the added noise in signal. The research results show that the DCS can not only extract vibration signal but also suppress the added noise in the signal. Therefore more accurate fault signal will be extracted and detected through this new method.
