| Abstract | Monitoring the health of a helicopter drive train enhances flight safety and reduces operating costs. Health and usage management systems (HUMS) monitor the drive train by using accelerometers to measure component vibration. Algorithms process the time domain vibration data into various condition indicators (CI), which are used to determine component health via thresholding. For the rotating machinery, a standard set of CI are shaft order one, two and three (i.e. 1, 2 or 3 times the shaft RPM). Shaft order one (SOI) is indicative of an unbalance, where as higher shaft order can be used to detect a bent shaft or misalignment condition. In the case of bearings, CIs are envelope spectrum or cepstrum analysis of the ball, cage, inner race and outer race frequencies. There are a number of standard CI used for gear analysis, such as line elimination and resynthesis, side band modulation, gear misalignment, etc. In general, some method is used to set thresholds for these CIs: when the threshold is exceeded, maintenance is recommended. The HUMS system must balance the risk of setting the threshold too high such that a component may fail in flight versus the risk of setting the threshold too low, which results in additional maintenance cost. This paper covers a generalized process of optimally setting threshold for CI and fusing the information into an Health Indicator. It can be shown that the distributions of CI for shaft magnitude and bearing envelop energy are Rayleigh distribution. The normalized distance functions for these CIs are a Nakagami distribution with mu (shape parameter) of n (number of CI) and Omega (scale parameter) of 2 x 1/(2-pi/2) x mu. For gear CIs, which are considered as Gaussian, the normalized distance function is again Nakagami, but with a mu of nil and Omega of n. Given the theoretical mu and Omega, a threshold for any set of CI can be generated resulting in system probability of false alarm (PFA). This is an optimal decision rule for detecting a component which is no longer nominal. The normalized distance distribution is a function of the component CI sample statistic. Procedures are developed to calculate the unbiased statistic: covariance for Rayleigh based CIs and mean value/covariance for Gaussian based CIs. In the cases where the population of components is not nominal (e.g. mass imbalances which violate the Rayleigh assumption) tools are presented to control this. For gear, normalizing transforms can be used to ensure the CIs are more Gaussian. Example data from utility helicopters are given. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
