Syllabus

Unit 1

Basic Concepts: Machinery failures, basic maintenance strategies, factors influencing maintenance strategies, machine condition monitoring, transducer selection and location, PC interfacing and virtual instrumentation. Vibration signatures of faults in rotating and reciprocating machines; detection and diagnosis of faults.

Unit 2

Instrumentation and Signal Processing: Types of sensors in condition monitoring: vibration, acoustics and noise, acoustic emission, temperature, ultrasonic and infra-red sensors – Signal processing: basic signal and systems concepts, time domain analysis, frequency domain analysis, time-frequency analysis, wavelets and wavelet packets.

Unit 3

Pattern Recognition: Feature extraction and feature selection methods, feature reduction using PCA – discriminant functions and decision boundaries, decision trees, maximum likelihood and nearest neighbour classification – Bayesian theory, neural networks, fuzzy logic and support vector machines (SVM) in classification. Application and case studies of condition monitoring: Bearings, gear boxes, engines, structural health monitoring, machine tool condition monitoring etc.
