SBIR Phase II: Development of a Low-Cost Harsh Environment Vibration Sensor

0422069 Jonathan Geisheimer开发低成本恶劣环境振动传感器这个小型企业创新研究(SBIR)第二阶段研究项目将开发一种廉价的传感器，用于使用5.8GHz通信元件测量旋转机械的机械振动和位移。目前的传感技术无法在这些机器内部经常出现的高温和肮脏环境中工作。重大问题往往首先出现在这些未受监测的地区。通过提供新的信息源，可以更早地检测到故障和降级。拟议研究的更广泛影响来自于工程师和科学家在最恶劣的环境中更准确地描述大型旋转机械(例如水轮发电机、发电燃气轮机和直流电机)的内部工作的能力。设计人员和机器操作员将拥有最常出现故障模式的关键区域的数据，从而可以更早地发出性能下降的警告，并更准确地监控机器状态。

0422069 Jonathan GeisheimerDevelopment of Low-Cost Harsh Environment Vibration SensorThis Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II research project will develop an inexpensive sensor for measuring mechanical vibration and displacement of rotating machines using 5.8 GHz communications components. Current sensing technologies cannot operate in the high temperature and dirty environments often found inside these machines. Major problems often first develop in these unmonitored areas. By providing a new source of information, failures and degradation can be detected earlier. The broader impacts of the proposed research result from the ability of engineers and scientists to more accurately characterize the internal workings of large rotating machinery (e.g. hydroelectric generator, power generation gas turbine, and DC motor) within the harshest environments. Designers and machine operators will have data in critical areas where failure modes most often occur, allowing for earlier warning of performance degradation and more accurate machine condition monitoring.
