Instrumentation Laboratory for Machinery Diagnostics and Condition Monitoring for Engineering Technology Program

该项目开发了一个用于机械诊断和状态监测的仪器实验室，以满足传授与机械部件早期故障的动态表征、检测和预测相关的动手技术技能的需要。诊断的概念，如共振和非共振响应，傅里叶谱，传递函数，相干和级联振动信号的演示，以及介绍了换能器的选择和他们的计算机接口快速数据采集和分析。机器诊断的仪器应用是这个项目的核心。该实验室为德克萨斯农工大学四年制本科工程技术专业学生提供了连贯有效的基本振动原理及其在机器诊断中的应用教学。该实验室用于三个相互关联的课程，即应用振动，仪器仪表和机电系统。每年将有近150名来自机械、制造和电子工程技术专业的学生受益。

This project develops an instrumentation laboratory for machinery diagnostics and condition monitoring to meet the need for imparting hands-on, technical skills related to the dynamic characterization, detection and prediction of incipient failures of machine components. Diagnostics concepts such as resonant and off-resonant response, Fourier spectrum, transfer function, coherence and cascading of vibration signals are demonstrated, as well as introduction to the selection of transducers and their computer interface for rapid data acquisition and analysis. Instrumentation applications for machine diagnostics is central to this project. The laboratory enables cohesive and effective instruction of basic vibration principles and their application for machine diagnosis, to the four year upper level undergraduate engineering technology students of Texas A&M University. The laboratory is used in three interrelated courses, namely Applied Vibrations, Instrumentation, and Electro-Mechanical Systems. Nearly 150 students annually from the mechanical, manufacturing and electronics engineering technology specialties will benefit.
