  • Method of anticipating machine failure
    Patent number: 4615216
    Abstract: A method of anticipating defects in the operation of a machine, especially a rotary machine in which high-frequency and low-frequency ranges of a body-wave spectrum in a solid part of the machine are detected and respective auto-spectral density functions G.sub.11 and G.sub.22 are formed, the cross spectral density function G.sub.12 being formed from the measurements as well. The magnitude .gamma..sup.2 =G.sub.12.sup.2 /G.sub.11 .multidot.G.sub.22 is formed and the defect is anticipated by an increase in the value of .gamma..sup.2.
