Trend Peak: Time Waveform Analysis and Statistical Comparison 01.04.2020

This document provides a summary of time waveform analysis (TWA) and statistical comparisons of vibration data. TWA analyzes are now carried out automatically and quickly using modern computing technology and AI. Key statistical parameters like skewness, kurtosis, standard deviation, and crest factor are explained and compared for different vibration signal examples to help identify issues like unbalance, misalignment, impacts, and random noise. TrendOPeak's AI-powered algorithms help continuously monitor asset health and guide maintenance without taking up much time.

Time Waveform Analysis and Statistical Comparison
Fast Technical Snapshot
Vibration data contains the most important information about machine health today as it was in the past. In most
situations, Time Waveform Analysis (TWA) is not easy because of the complexity of vibration data. However, thanks to
today’s computing technology, TWA analyzes are carried out automatically and quickly. With the inclusion of AI
technology, health of assets can be monitored with many pattern recognition algorithms.
TWA has a wide range of work areas. Below, some of the fundamental parameters are explained and compared for
different vibration signals.

Skewness : Asymmetry of the distribution of random variable about its mean.
(+) Kurtosis
(-) Skew (+) Skew
Normal
Distribution
(-) Kurtosis
Kurtosis: “tailedness” of the probability distribution of random variable.

Standard Deviation: The amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values. A low


standard deviation indicates that the values tend to be close the mean, while a high
standard deviation indicates that the values are spread out over a wider range.
Small Standard Large Standard
Deviation Deviation
Crest Factor (CF): The ratio of peak values to the RMS value. If CF increases, it means an increase in high
frequency effects like impacts. Good example is given in below graph E.

Root Mean Square (RMS): Mathematically, square root of the mean square of a variable. RMS increases with the
increase in the amount of energy in a vibration signal.
