In view of the high false alarm rate in the oil debris monitoring results of the triple-coil inductive sensor in the transmission lubrication system of the aero-engine, a new debris signal processing method based on inductive monitoring is proposed. A time domain analysis is carried out first, and the signal energy is the most effective index to distinguish the debris signature from the noise signature. On this basis, signal energy values within a fixed-length sliding window is processed through the histogram. Finally, a threshold is set for the detection of the debris signature, which is based on the distribution of data within the histogram. This method is applied to the experimental data from a test run of an aero-engine, and the results show that all the debris is detected even if part of it appears during a change in the working condition of the aero-engine. Therefore, this method shows satisfactory results in debris detection accuracy and especially the inhibition of false alarms. It is also applicable for real-time monitoring due to the similarity between the movement of the sliding window and real-time data acquisition. In addition, it is applicable for various sensing principles, including but not limited to the inductive sensor signal, since the detection performance is only related to the signal itself.

“…Besides, mechanical loads or changes in temperature in operation might induce a decompensation signal between the coils, which carries additional interference. Some papers suggest using a single coil for real-time 3D imaging in biomedical applications [23,24]. Enough data can be collected by sampling readings (i) at several levels of exciting current and (ii) using capacitors varying in capacity.…”

Developing a Combined Method for Detection of Buried Metal Objects

This paper discusses the author-developed novel method for the detection of buried metal objects that combines two basic subsurface sensing methods: one based on changes in the electromagnetic field parameters as induced by the inner or surficial impedance of the medium when affected by a propagating magnetic field; and one based on changes in the input impedance of the receiver as induced by the electromagnetic properties of the probed medium. The proposed method utilizes three instrumentation channels: two primary channels come from the ferrite magnetic antenna (the receiver), where the first channel is used to measure the current voltage amplitude of the active input signal component, while the second channel measures the current voltage amplitude of the reactive input signal component; an additional (secondary) channel comes from the emitting frame antenna (the transmitter) to measure the current amplitude of the exciting current. This data redundancy proves to significantly improve the reliability and accuracy of detecting buried metal objects. Implementation of the computational procedures for the proposed method helped to detect and identify buried objects by their specific electrical conductance and magnetic permeability, while also locating them depth-wise. The research team has designed an induction probe that contains two mutually orthogonal antennas (a frame transmitter and ferrite receiver); the authors herein propose a metal detector design that implements the proposed induction sensing method. Experimental research proved the developed combined method for searching for buried metal objects efficient and well-performing.
