Abstract
Friction and wear tests of a piston ring against the cylinder of a marine diesel engine were conducted on a pin-on-disc tester. The vibration signals under different wear conditions were studied utilizing the discrete harmonic wavelet packet transform (DHWPT). It was shown that the weak friction-induced vibration signals could be extracted using the DHWPT. When the wear behavior is mild, the friction-induced vibration is linear. When the wear behavior is relatively severe, the friction-induced vibration changes from linear to nonlinear. When the wear behavior is more severe, the friction-induced vibration is nonlinear.
