Mechanical vibration signature generator

A tool for generating mechanical vibration signatures of faulty bearings and gears

You are now following this Submission

This Matlab GUI has been designed for researchers and engineers that desire to test new signal processing techniques in the field of diagnosis and condition monitoring of bearings and gears through vibration analysis.

Thanks to its user friendly interface, this tool allow you to simulate the vibration signature produced by faulty complex mechanical system configurations, involving multi-stage gearboxes and related bearings, which operate at arbitrary conditions (stationary and non-stationary) without deep knowledge of coding or signal processing.

Details about the use of this software is provided within the how-to document that can be found inside the folder.

Eventually, the authors warmly suggest to read the following reference before using the tool:
M. Buzzoni et al., "A tool for validating and benchmarking signal processing techniques applied to machine diagnosis", Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing, 2020 (accepted, received for production).
