Investigation of Acoustic Signatures for Virtual Sensing of Engine Conditions
Summary
This project follows on from over a decade of research, at University of Brighton, into intelligent condition monitoring for internal combustion engines.
The current project uses very cost-effective piezoelectric sensors, coupled with appropriate signal processing, to monitor for, and identify, combustion and operational problems.
Staff
The figures show: (1) A recently-constructed ‘Series-Hybrid Engine Test-set’ which has been instrumented for acoustic signature analysis; (2) An acoustic sensor installed on the rocker-cover of the diesel engine.
Further information will be posted on this site later, as the project progresses.
