Abstract

This thesis presents six major contributions to the study on very low speed slew bearing condition monitoring and prognosis: (1) review of studies on vibration and AE-based condition monitoring of rolling element bearing; (2) selection of reliable features for slew bearing condition monitoring parameters from features that were reported in the literatures; (3) development of alternative features based on circular domain analysis and LLE algorithm; (4) development of incipient damage v detection method based on MSET and SPRT; (5) development of future state prediction using kernel regression method; and (6) implementation of online monitoring system based on File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
