Hydraulic Pump Condition Monitoring Using Dynamic Response

本计画将研究借由液压泵的动态响应来判断其状态的可行性。遭受机械磨损和侵蚀的泵将经历更多的泄漏和其内部部件的不同摩擦。泄漏和摩擦的这些变化将改变泵对流量指令或背压变化的响应。本研究将创建研究中涉及的特定泵的动态模型，并量化泵响应的变化，目的是通过动态压力测量评估泵的剩余使用寿命。本研究与另一项研究相关，该研究将产生大量磨损程度不同的泵。这些泵在其使用寿命期间高度仪表化，因此磨损历史众所周知。这些泵将用作当前提案的测试对象。与以前的研究相比，这些研究集中在泵中引入的人为故障上，这些实际磨损的泵将提供典型故障和磨损特性的更准确的横截面。

This project will study the feasibility of determining the condition of hydraulic pumps via their dynamic response. A pump suffering from mechanical wear and erosion will experience more leakage and different friction on its internal components. These changes in leakage and friction will change the pump's response to changes in flow command or back pressure. This study will create a dynamic model of the particular pump involved in the study and quantify the changes in pump response, with the aim of evaluating the service life remaining in the pump from dynamic pressure measurements.This study is related to a separate study that will generate a large number of pumps with varying degrees of wear. Those pumps were highly instrumented over their lifetime so the wear history is well known. These pumps will be used as test subjects for the current proposal. In contrast to previous studies that have concentrated on artificial faults introduced into the pump, these realistically worn pumps will provide a more accurate cross section of typical faults and wear characteristics.
