In the present time, Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs) are extensively used in many industrial applications due to its advantages over conventional synchronous motor. The PMSM is compact and efficient with high dynamic performance, thus having more advantages such as light weight, small size and bulky burden ability. When PMSMs are failed during the operation then large revenue losses occurs for industries. Hence, it is essential to diagnose these faults before occurring, for protection of any industrial plant. In the paper, firstly a comprehensive review of condition monitoring has been done for PMSM faults and their diagnostics techniques. From review, it is found that the stator inter-turn fault diagnosis has been the challenging task for many researchers. Hence, the work has been extended for fault analysis of stator inter-turn under transient conditions, which is effectively analyzed with the help of advanced signal processing technique.

Machine fault diagnosis is a very important topic in industrial systems and deserves further consideration in view of the growing complexity and performance requirements of modern machinery. Currently, manufacturing companies and researchers are making a great attempt to implement efficient fault diagnosis tools. The signal processing is a key step for the machine condition monitoring in complex industrial rotating electrical machines. A number of signal processing techniques have been reported from last two decades conventionally and effectively applied on different rotating machines. Induction motor is the one of widely used in various industrial applications due to small size, low cost and operation with existing power supply. Faults and failure of the induction machine in industry can be the cause of loss of throughput and significant financial losses. As compared with the other faults with the broken rotor bar, it has significant importance because of severity which leads to a serious breakdown of motor. Detection of rotor failure has become significant fault but difficult task in machine fault diagnosis. The aim of this paper is indented to summarizes the fault diagnosis techniques with the purpose of the broken rotor bar fault detection. Keywords: machine fault diagnosis, signal processing technique, induction motor, condition monitoring.

Abstract Background The acoustic emission (AE) analysis has been used increasingly for gearbox diagnostics. Since AE signals are of non-linear, non-stationary and broadband nature, traditional signal processing techniques such as envelope spectrum must be carefully applied to avoid a wrong fault diagnosis. One signal processing technique that has been used to enhance the demodulation process for vibration signals is the empirical mode decomposition (EMD). Until now, the combination of both techniques has not yet been used to improve the fault diagnostics in gearboxes using AE signals. Purpose In this research we explore the use of the EMD to improve the demodulation process of AE signals using the Hilbert transform and enhance the representation of a gear fault in the envelope spectrum. Methods AE signals were measured on a planetary gearbox (PG) with a ring gear fault. A comparative signal analysis was conducted for the envelope spectra of the original AE signals and the obtained intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) considering three types of filters: highpass filter in the whole AE range, bandpass filter based on IMF spectra analysis and bandpass filter based on the fast kurtogram. Results It is demonstrated how the results of the envelope spectrum analysis can be improved by the selection of the relevant frequency band of the IMF most affected by the fault. Moreover, not considering a complementary signal processing technique such as the EMD prior the calculation of the envelope of AE signals can lead to a wrong fault diagnosis in gearboxes. Conclusion The EMD has the potential to reveal frequency bands in AE signals that are most affected by a fault and improve the demodulation process of these signals. Further research shall focus on overcome issues of the EMD technique to enhance its application to AE signals.

The concept of vibration based condition monitoring technology has been developing at a rapid stage in the recent years suiting to the maintenance of sophisticated and complicated machines. Nowadays, wavelet analysis based signal processing technique is applied as effective tool for condition monitoring. The experimental studies were conducted on the gear testing apparatus to obtain the vibration signal from a healthy gear and an induced faulty gear. In this paper, two different techniques using Laplace wavelet as base function are used to characterize the fault in the gear signals, specifically wavelet enveloped power spectrum and wavelet kurtosis. The wavelet parameters are optimized using genetic algorithm to select most fault related features. A comparative study detailing features of fault characterization is also given in order to understand the effectiveness of both the wavelet based signal processing methods and their fault diagnosis capability.

A gearbox is an important power transmission equipment. Its maintenance is a top requirement because it is prone to a variety of failures. For gearbox fault diagnosis, techniques such as vibration monitoring have been widely used. Also, when it comes to machine Condition monitoring and fault diagnostics, feature extraction is the crucial step. For a classifier to perform accurately, it must have the appropriate discriminative information or features. Hence, this paper proposes a signal processing methodology based on Maximal overlap discrete wavelet transform (MODWT) and a dimensionality reduction technique i.eprincipal component analysis (PCA) to reduce the dimensionality of the feature space and obtain an ideal subspace for machine fault classification. Firstly, the raw vibration signature is denoised with the help of a state-of-the-art MODWT signal processing technique to identify the hidden fault signatures. Then various traditional statistical features are extracted from this denoised signal. These multi-dimensional features are then processed with PCA and further, the Decision Tree is used for fault classification. Performance comparison of the proposed method with traditional raw analysis and without application of PCA is presented and the proposed method outperforms at every level.

The development of an efficient, portable, real-time, and high-precision ammonia (NH3) remote sensor system is of great significance for environmental protection and citizens’ health. We developed a NH3 remote sensor system based on tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) technique to measure the NH3 leakage. In order to eliminate the interference of water vapor on NH3 detection, the wavelength-locked wavelength modulation spectroscopy technique was adopted to stabilize the output wavelength of the laser at 6612.7 cm−1, which significantly increased the sampling frequency of the sensor system. To solve the problem in that the light intensity received by the detector keeps changing, the 2f/1f signal processing technique was adopted. The practical application results proved that the 2f/1f signal processing technique had a satisfactory suppression effect on the signal fluctuation caused by distance changing. Using Allan deviation analysis, we determined the stability and limit of detection (LoD). The system could reach a LoD of 16.6 ppm·m at an average time of 2.8 s, and a LoD of 0.5 ppm·m at an optimum averaging time of 778.4 s. Finally, the measurement result of simulated ammonia leakage verified that the ammonia remote sensor system could meet the need for ammonia leakage detection in the industrial production process.
