Order Analysis Exact order analysis is accomplished by generating of the same amount of samples per revolution of a part, independent of its revolutionary speed. Digital resampling allows for the processing of 3 to 5 shafts of a transmission. From this resampled time domain signal, spectra evaluation produces order components. These are the amplitudes of sine components, which are cyclic with the revolution of the part Input One rev Input One rev Input One rev Constant number of samples per revolution
Revolution Synchronous Transmission Analysis The transmission noise is the sum of the noise originating from the individual mechanical components. For the gear noise components, the individual sources can be isolated by the transmission ratio. Input Shaft Interm. Shaft Output Shaft Synchronous order analysis: The signals are acquired synchronous to the inner shafts. Acoustical Stroboscope Input Shaft Interm. Shaft Output Shaft
Synchronous Averaging Signal For every shaft, averaging is performed synchronous to its revolution. Signal components of the synchronousshaft are enhanced, other noise components are attenuated. One shaft is shown. Rotas can do the processing for 3 to 5 shafts simultaneously. Usually, only one sensor is needed. The synchronization can be done for inner shafts, for which only the transmission ration is known. + Background + Signal + Background + Signal + Background Summe * 1/n = Average: Signal enhanced
Synchronous Averaging Cylinder Noise peaks are shown in the synchronous channel that is synched with the respective shaft. A valuable nick detection is based on the Crest value: Crest = Peak value/RMS value 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 12 Cylinder Engine, 700 UPM, 1 Rev Cam Shaft

Every order of the limit curve has an underlying error code. This error code is generated from transmission ratios in a semiautomatic fashion. If the limit curve is exceeded, the error code gives rise to an error message in plain text. The limit curves consist of portions, which are generated by a learning process and of portions which are set to fixed values. The learn rnode is used for those spectral portions, where there are results from driving experiments available yet. Generally this holds true for tooth spacing problems, ghost orders and bearing noise (in the mix channel). Fixed limits are adopted from driving experiments, usually for the gear mesh and for the side bands.
Spectral Limits Hats for gear mesh orders and their side bands Limit curve from Average + Offset + n times standard deviation. Overridden by minimum and maximum polygons and by the fixed hats.
Learning What is learned Learning methods For all measurements, the following statistical properties are computed: Average (AV) und Standard deviation (STD) From these numbers, a limit L is generated according to L = AV + Offset + n* STD. The offset and the multiplier of the standard deviation is selectable. For spectral measures, an offset of 5 dB and a std-factor of 3 is normally used. Maximum and minimum values set upper and lower bounds for the limit L. A new learn consist of a base learn (usually 5 units), where all units are accepted that are below maximum polygons and below hats. The base learn is followed by an additional learning (usually 100 units). Here every unit is evaluated against the already established limit curves. Only error free units will be added to the learning sample. Another available choice consists of a indefinite learn process with a selectable time constant. During the whole learning process, the fixed limits apply. This assures, that all known data (like limits from car experiments) will be used as a guidance during the process.
Order spectrograms Order spectrograms are recorded for the engine vibration signal. From these order tracks for arbitrary orders and order spectra for arbitrary speeds can be generated: 2) Order spectrum at 2241 RPM Order track for the 65. order 1) Ordnungs-Spektrogramm 4. Gang Zug
Order Tracking • The critical noise sources in a car are usually the gear mesh orders and their sidebands. • These noise sources are highly speed dependent. Detailed speed dependent evaluation uses the track of mesh orders and sidebands over speed. • The gear mesh H1 base order and its harmonics are tracked over speed and compared with speed dependet limit curves. • The track form depends on torque, drive/coast and on the resonances within the gearbox and the test stand. • Within speed bands, average and maximum amplitudes can be evaluated and compared to limits. The single values are ideal for statistical analysis over time. Speed band Tracked Value Curve 1Curve 2 H1 Max Bd1 79.1 dB75.5 dB H1 Aver Bd1 76.2 dB71.9 dB

Measurement Report A protocol is generated for every unit. It holds information about unit type, serial number, time of measurement and defect report. There are three kinds of report: Short:: serial numbers only for good units, defect report for failing units. Normal: Report line for every unit Long: All measurement values in tabular form. Around 300 measurement results are stored in a protocol database for statistical evaluation. 5000 units use about 20 Mbyte of disk space. The test stand control system can request several protocol variants for own recording purposes.

Spectral Statistics Order spectra of production units can be displayed in Campbell or in 3-D graphs. Cuts in the order or in the unit direction show order amplitude versus units or the spectrum of one unit. The pictures show the order spectra of 300 production units. A ghost order of 118 is present in the first 40 units tested.
Order Tracks During the ramps, spectral components are evaluated over the speed. Usually, the main gear mesh orders and their harmonics are tracked. In addition, energy in order bands may be tracked as well. Track limits (shown in red) can be self learned or set manually.
