Industrial Scalable Rolling Element Bearing Diagnostic and Prognostic Modelling

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

Rolling element bearings are a critical component in nearly any rotating system. They operate at significant loads and speeds and must withstand various forms of harsh environmental factors. Due to this, they can be prone to rolling contact fatigue failure, especially in industrial applications such as wind turbines and both commercial and military aircraft. The following thesis extends published diagnostic models for bearing condition through inline wear debris sensors through experimental observations and a physical understanding of the bearing degradation mechanics. This diagnostic classification model is scalable to bearings of other sizes as its predecessors, with considerations for differently sized inline wear debris sensors. Furthermore, this diagnostic model is then combined with particle filters and mathematical representations of the bearing degradation curve to estimate the remaining useful life of the bearing, with consideration for both the bearing load and speed.
