Description
Summary:Fault diagnostics present a crucial technical issue in the areas of both the condition monitoring of machines and the monitoring of structural health. The identification of faults at an early stage in their development has an immense effect on the safety of monitored structures. Correct identification allows for the monitoring of the development of faults and the choosing of optimal operation strategies. This article discusses a method of monitoring structural health, based on the application of the Hilbert transforms (GHT and FrHT) for detecting fault formations and their development in membrane structures. A signal resulting from the HT is analyzed using spectral analysis to identify features indicating the technical state.
