Abstract
A prognosis of the machinery condition is an important potential tool to
avoid unpredictable and expensive disturbances, failure and shut down
in industrial production and transportation. A diagnosis of machinery
condition can be carried out based on online condition monitoring. The
prediction of future performance needs, in addition to knowledge of the
present state, also a good understanding of trends and physical laws
influencing the progress of the deterioration processes in components.
Tribology offers an understanding of the wear and friction related
phenomena in machinery and their mechanisms. After a short transient
period of running-in wear, the wear process is linear for a long period
at steady state running but it is close to exponential at catastrophic
wear. Monitoring based regression signal analysis offers a new
possibility to predict wear progress and wear failure. The VTT
Diagnostic Circle is a method for integrated tribological and vibration
analysis of machinery condition.
