title: Investigation of machine condition characteristics
reg no: ETF5161
project type: Estonian Science Foundation research grant
subject: 2.10. Mechanical Engineering
status: completed
institution: Tallinn Technical University
head of project: Toivo Pappel
duration: 01.01.2002 - 31.12.2005
description: The main goal of this research is to develop integral characteristics for evaluation of machine condition and to create an algorithm for discovering possible machine faults.To achieve this goal we have to:
1. process single features of each machine fault for display on the spectrum graph either as accelerations or integrals of acceleration of real order and if necessary, differentiate them,
2. determine the correlation between different faults and develop an algorithm for processing of vibrograms and separation of simultaneous faults,
3. develop integral characteristics for evaluation of machine condition that would broaden the use of ISO 2372 and other analogous norms.

This work will create the basis for scientific research in the field of diagnostics in Estonia and improvement of condition of equipment through introduction of modern condition monitoring. It will enable to create professional counseling system and raise the level of degree studies.
