Abstract

Presented is a gas turbine engine bearing diagnostic system that integrates information from various advanced vibration analysis techniques to achieve robust bearing health state awareness. This paper presents a computational algorithm for identifying power frequency variations and integer harmonics by using wavelet-based transform. The continuous wavelet transform with  the complex Morlet wavelet is adopted to detect the harmonics presented in a power signal. The algorithm based on the discrete stationary wavelet transform is adopted to denoise the wavelet ridges.
