Abstract

Fault diagnosis in rotating machines have been attempted by researchers with many different techniques. The common fault occurring in a rotor system is the unbalance. Different techniques exist to determine their magnitude and location in circumferential and axial direction. In this paper, an attempt is made to identify and locate unbalance faults on a rotor system using an Unknown Input Observer (UIO). Its matrices are constructed by two methods, first is a classical method by solving the algebraic Riccatti equations and other by solving a set of Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) equations. This has the advantage of designing a stable observer without facing the problem of pole placement. Both the methods have been simulated with the model of a rotor test bench. The results are found to be accurate in a simulation environment.
