Abstract

Monitoring systems for machines, plants, materials, and equipment are increasingly used in production processes. These online condition monitoring systems can detect damage or excessive loads at an early stage and can drastically reduce or prevent long downtimes of plants and machines as well as high repair and maintenance costs. This paper depicts a method for online crack detection with pattern recognition and computer vision methods for specimens joined by self-pierce riveting under cyclic load in fatigue tests (laboratory application) (Giese et al. Early stage crack detection in mechanically joined steel/aluminium joints by condition monitoring; 2020).

In this context a parameter-free detection of significant frequencies during the test procedure was developed. To achieve this goal, the vibration data is recorded by a triaxial structure-borne sound sensor during the test. The evaluation is used for online crack detection, so that an early shutdown of the testing machine and thus a meaningful result over the life cycle of a mechanically joined joint is guaranteed.

For this purpose, time series are described in the frequency domain at each function value by a novel feature vector. The characteristics used are independent of external test parameters, such as the test frequency or force level. This makes it possible to change test parameters without additional algorithmic effort and without expert knowledge.
