Transient Detection of Rotor Asymmetries in Squirrel-Cage Induction Motors Using a Model-Based Tacholess Order Tracking.

In this article, we propose to determine the dynamic model of a squirrel-cage induction motor from a reduced amount of information. An adaptive observer is also built from this model in order to obtain a speed estimation and to perform rotor fault monitoring by Tacholess Order Tracking (TOT). We also propose a generalization of the notion of angular sampling in order to adapt to this type of defect.

Mechanical Fault Diagnostic in PMSM from Only One Current Measurement: A Tacholess Order Tracking Approach.

This article presents a mechanical fault diagnosis methodology in synchronous machines using only a single current measurement in variable speed conditions. The proposed methodology uses order tracking in order to sample the analysis signal as a function of the rotor angle. The spectrum of the signal is then independent of speed and it could be employed in frequency analysis.

Software Sensor for Airflow Modulation and Noise Detection by Cyclostationary Tools.

The paper presents tools to model low speed airflow coming from a turbulent machine. This low speed flow have instabilities who generate noise disturbances in the environment. The aim of the study proposed in this paper, is the using of cyclostationary tools with audio signals to model this airflow and detect the noisy frequencies to eliminate this noise.
