Mechatronic design of fault detection isolation and restoration systems for rotating machineries

This paper presents theoretical background and results of experimental research into fault detection, isolation and restoration (FDIR) system for rotating machineries created in Department of Robotics and Mechatronics, AGH University of Science and Technology in Cracow. The presented FDIR system solution concerns the problem of automatic balancing of rotating systems while in operation. Simulations and experimental results proved that application of the presented solution leads to a reduction in the vibrations caused by imbalance, without hindering service. A mechatronic approach to the design process makes this process more effective.
