Improved fault diagnosis method for aero engine rotor-sator rubs

In view of actual conditions of aero engine's rub-fault, the application limitations of variant diagnosis methods were analyzed. A boundary extension method was presented for restraining the ending effect of the reconstructive signals; and an improved method was adapted to process both short time series and long time series based on singularity value decomposition and the boundary extension method. The selective method of singularity values for reconstruction was also discussed. Then the vibrating signals of certain aero engine were analyzed, showing good detection results of fault signals of a certain Aero-engine.
