Abstract

Vibration signals of machinery typically consist of various types of signal content. Two such types can be classified as stochastic and deterministic. In the past, several methods have been developed to tackle the separation of these two categories. One such solution is the Discrete/Random Separation method which estimates a frequency-domain transfer function from the signal to separate the predictable periodic content from the random content. Two of the downsides of the existing Discrete/Random Separation method in its current form are the variance of the estimated filter and its dependency on the time delay choice. This paper investigates the potential to alleviate these downsides by extending the definition of the filter from a single-delay to a multi-delay filter estimation procedure. This extension improves the reliability of the filter for practical usage and reduces the dependency of the result on the chosen filter delay. The improved DRS filter is examined on both simulated and experimental wind turbine gearbox vibration data.
