Abstract:
Detecting mechanical faults of rotating machines particularly in hydrodynamic
bearings has been recognised as important for preventing sudden shut downs. This
technical note presents an experimental investigation that is aimed at
understanding the influence of operational variables (speed, load, etc) on
generation of acoustic emission in a hydrodynamic bearing. It is concluded that
the power losses of the bearing are directly correlated with acoustic emission
levels.
