Detection of Cracks in Rotating Shafts by Using the Combination Resonances Approach and the Approximated Entropy Algorithm

Figure 10

Approximated Entropy of the FFTs of the rotating system (SNR = 1000, ). Comparison between the cases of healthy shaft and cracked shaft: (a) 1% crack depth; (b) 3% crack depth; (c) 5% crack depth; (d) 10% crack depth.
