Publication number: 20230204451Abstract: Accurate damage diagnosis is obtained using strain, typified by low-cycle fatigue damage and the like, representing a majority of the damage from age deterioration of a machine facility. A rotating electrical machine damage diagnostic system evaluates fatigue damage in a component of a rotating electrical machine based on a sensor. A strain range calculating section determines elastic strain and elastic stress in an evaluation area of the rotating electrical machine in terms of a quadratic function of a rotational speed of the rotating electrical machine detected by the sensor. Conversion of the elastic strain range and the elastic stress range into a total strain range is performed and a fatigue damage rate is calculated in the evaluation area of the rotating electrical machine from the total strain range resulting from the conversion. An integration section is provided for cumulating the fatigue damage rates to calculate a cumulated fatigue damage rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2021Publication date: June 29, 2023Inventors: Yasushi HAYASAKA, Masaaki ENDO, Atsushi FUKUNAGA
