Magnetic Bearings For Non-Destructive Health Monitoring Of Rotating Machinery Supported In Conventional Bearings, M. Kasarda, D, Quinn, T. Bash, D. Inman, R. Kirk, Jerzy Sawicki
Magnetic Bearings For Non-Destructive Health Monitoring Of Rotating Machinery Supported In Conventional Bearings, M. Kasarda, D, Quinn, T. Bash, D. Inman, R. Kirk, Jerzy Sawicki
Dr. D Dane Quinn
This paper describes initial results from a project expanding the field of rotor health monitoring by using Active Magnetic Bearings (AMBs) as actuators for applying a variety of known force inputs to a spinning rotor in order to monitor and evaluate response signals resulting from these inputs on-line. Similar to modal analysis and other nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques which apply input signals to static structures in order to monitor responses; this approach allows for the measurement of both input and output response in a rotating system for evaluation. However, unlike these techniques, the new procedure allows for multiple forms of …
