Firstly, three group dependent sensors are installed to acquire running condition data. Then a discrete spectrum interpolation method and short time Fourier transform (STFT) are applied to preliminarily identify the running data in the sensor-dependent vibration data. As a result a quantitative identification and abnormal alarm strategy based on compound indexes including the largest Lyapunov exponent and relative energy ratio at the second harmonic frequency component is proposed. Then for validation the proposed blade crack quantitative identification and abnormality alarm strategy is applied to analyze acquired experimental data for centrifugal booster fans and it has successfully identified incipient blade crack faults. In addition, the related mathematical modelling work is also introduced to investigate the effects of mistuning and cracks on the vibration features of centrifugal impellers and to explore effective techniques for crack detection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s16050632","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,9]],"date-time":"2016-05-09T10:05:24Z","timestamp":1462788324000},"page":"632","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Quantitative Index and Abnormal Alarm Strategy Using Sensor-Dependent Vibration Data for Blade Crack Identification in Centrifugal Booster Fans"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Jinglong","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory for Manufacturing and Systems Engineering, Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University, Xi\u2019an 710049, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6330-2514","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hailiang","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Institute of Astronautical Systems Engineering, Beijing 100076, China"}]},{"given":"Shuai","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory for Manufacturing and Systems Engineering, Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University, Xi\u2019an 710049, China"}]},{"given":"Zhengjia","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory for Manufacturing and Systems Engineering, Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University, Xi\u2019an 710049, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"507","DOI":"10.1109\/TCST.2010.2051545","article-title":"A two-stage online prediction method for a blast furnace gas system and its application","volume":"19","author":"Zhao","year":"2011","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
