Extended Angular-Velocity Vold-Kalman Order Tracking.

Dynamic signals acquired from rotary machines can be characterized by the order tracking (OT) techniques. The extracted order components correspond to the operation of specific machine elements and reflect their current healthy or faulty states. The study extends the angular-velocity Vold-Kalman OT scheme to simultaneously extract multiple order components. Theoretical derivation is illustrated with simulation of processing three synthetic signals to show its merit. Additionally, as an example to validate its effectiveness, the improved OT scheme is used to process pass-by noise emitted from an electric scooter with a planetary-gear-set transmission system. The gear-meshing orders are effectively decoupled from structure-borne resonances. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
