- Abstract
Shafts are used in almost all mechanical applications were rotational movement takes place between elements. However, shafts are prone to material defects physical damage and fatigue, which may cause catastrophic failure. he four main types of shaft failure for properly designed devices are corrosion, wear, overload and fatigue. Fatigue is common and often occurs when various load is applied over many cycles, the subsequent stress leads to cracks or fractures. This paper will outline an online monitoring system for monitoring fatigue failures in shafts. It will suggest that, along with the use of adequate sensors, online monitoring approaches, used with predictive or proactive maintenance strategies, can facilitate the development of failure detection system. This system has been validated using test apparatus developed by the authors who have demonstrated the ability of the system to detect developing fatigue failure in shafts. The following sections will review the investigation, which it is argued support the development of an Online Monitoring System to monitor shaft failures.
