Abstract

A new paradigm for machinery maintenance is emerging as preventive maintenance strategies are being replaced by condition-based maintenance. In condition-based maintenance, machinery is repaired or serviced only when an intelligent monitoring system indicates that the system cannot fulfill mission requirements. The implementation of such systems requires a combination of sensor data fusion, feature extraction, classification, and prediction algorithms. In addition, new system architectures are being developed to facilitate the reduction of wide bandwidth sensor data to concise predictions of ability of the system to complete its current mission or future missions. This paper describes the system architecture, data fusion, and classification algorithms employed in a distributed, wireless bearing and gear health monitoring system. The role and integration of prognostic algorithms--required to predict future system health--are also discussed. Examples are provided which illustrate the application of the system architecture and algorithms to data collected on a machinery diagnostics test bed at the Applied Research Laboratory at The Pennsylvania State University.
