Masanori SHINTANI, Keita Masaki · The Proceedings of the Dynamics & Design Conference · 2009
Many machine structures are used in various places, such as a car and a motorbike, including a factory or power plant. So breakdown, damage, etc. of a machine structure may not stop only at loss of a function depending on the scale or part, but may cause an accident resulting in injury or death and serious economic loss. Vibration is listed to one of the causes, which a machine structure breaks down and damages Therefore which needs to perform unusual diagnosis of a machine structure and needs to evaluate the soundness of a machine structure by always measuring affecting vibration to a machine structure, and carrying out monitoring to it. This research performs health monitoring to a machine structure using a small sensor and a PIC microcomputer, and aims at constructing the system, which performs mechanical predictive maintenance.
