MONITORING OF DRY SLIDING WEAR USING FRACTAL ANALYSIS
Journal Title: Metrology and Measurement Systems - Year 2005, Vol 12, Issue 2
Abstract
Reliable online monitoring of wear remains a challenge to tribology research as well as to the industry. This paper presents a new method for monitoring of dry sliding wear using digital imaging and fractal analysis. Fractal values, namely fractal dimension and intercept, computed from the power spectrum of the images of a wearing surface, are adopted as indicators of the dynamic wear process. Experimental results show that progressive changes of fractal values might reveal the wear status of the surface.

FOUR-PARAMETER SINE-FITTING ALGORITHM FOR DETECTION AND CLASSIFICATION OF TRANSIENTS AND WAVEFORM DISTORTIONS
This paper describes a new method for detection of some power quality (PQ) disturbances, namely transients and waveform distortions. The proposed algorithm is based on a modified version of the four-parameter sine-fitti...
A METHOD OF IDENTIFICATION OF RTS COMPONENTS IN NOISE SIGNALS
Noise signals containing two components with different distribution of current values of the noise signal, i.e. a component with Gaussian distribution and a component with non-Gaussian distribution, were analyzed. The no...
THE SOURCE OF ERRORS IN THE OSCILLOMETRIC BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS
This report presents an analysis of the source of errors in the blood pressure measurements which use the oscillometric method. The basis of this method are the blood pressure oscillations in the occluding cuff which are...
ELIMINATION OF NONLINEARITY WITH DISCONTINUITIES (OF THE DEAD ZONE) FROM STATIC CHARACTERISTIC OF CONVERTER
The characteristics of real converters, including sensors, are - to a smaller or larger extent - nonlinear. Nonlinearity may result from the technologies applied to produce the converter or from the type of processing to...
