Abstract:
The article presents results of tests performed with the use of a ship engine of
the type Sulzer 6AL20/24. The goal of the tests was to create and verify an
identification procedure for the analyzed object’s reliability states to be used
without interfering with the object operation processes. The proposed method is
based on an analysis of vibrations and noise generated during the engine
operation, which are considered to be the most significant diagnostic signals.
The signals of the engine vibrations and noise recorded during the engine
operation on a laboratory test stand have been analyzed in the time domain. A
number of the recorded signal characteristics are calculated. The
characteristics are statistically analyzed in order to choose those which can
provide the basis for the identification of reliability states. Next, based on
the spaces of ability and inability, states are formulated. The spaces are used
for the identification of ability states and selected inability states through
the determination of a minimal distance between signals in the Euclidean
distance metrics. The proposed method was used in the ship engine tests to yield
very good identification effects. A description of the applied method and the
results are presented in the final part of the article.
