Summary:
This thesis describes a method to detect, localize and identify a faulty bearing in a rotating machine using narrow band envelope analysis across an array of accelerometers. This technique is developed as part of the machine monitoring system of an ocean turbine. A rudimentary mathematical model is introduced to provide an understanding of the physics governing the vibrations caused by a bearing with a raceway defect. This method is then used to detect a faulty bearing in two setups : on a lathe and in a dynamometer.
