  • Wavelet analysis for gear crack identification
    Belšak, Aleš, 1968- ; Flašker, Jože
    There are many typical damages and faults that can cause problems in relation to gear unit operation, a crack in the tooth root being probably the least desirable among them. It often results in ... failure of gear unit operation. Fault analyses presented in this article are based on gear units with real damages or faults, produced on the basis of real operating conditions. A test plant has been used. A possible damage can be identified by monitoring vibrations. The influences of a crack in a single-stage gear unit on produced vibrations are presented. A fatigue crack in the tooth root causes significant changes in tooth stiffness, whereas, in relation to other faults, changes of other dynamic parameters are more expressed. Different methods are used to analyse signals acquired by experiments. Signal analysis has been carried out in relation to a non-stationary signal, using the family of Time Frequency Analysis tools, such as Wavelets Analyses. Typical spectrogram and scalogram patterns resulting from reactions to faults or damages indicate the presence of damages in a very reliable way.
