Abstract:
1. A method of synthesizing a vibration baseline for a machine for use in diagnosing vibration of the machine without using historical vibration data measurements of said machine nor an identical machine, the method being performed by a computing system having a processor and memory, comprising: receiving into memory machine configuration data; processing by the processor the machine configuration data to identify a prime component, one or more other components, and one or more forcing frequency indicators of the machine for which the vibration baseline is to be synthesized; accessing a baseline specification database stored in memory to obtain parameters for deriving the vibration baseline from the identified prime component, one or more other components, and one or more forcing frequency indicators, wherein the baseline specification database comprises a plurality of parameters for each of a plurality of machine component categories, the plurality of parameters for at least one category comprising multiple harmonic frequencies and multiple forcing frequencies, wherein all content of the baseline specification database is derived without any of said historical vibration data measurements; formulating said vibration baseline for the machine without using historical vibration data measurements of said machine, said formulating comprising;
