Abstract
A system and method for detecting abnormal operating conditions in a machine through the analysis and comparison of radar areas after the transformation of waveform data collected from machine parts. The system and method may detect abnormal operating conditions at times when the machine under evaluation remains fully operational in its intended working environment. The system and method may identify abnormal machine function at a point in the machine wear cycle when an abnormal function is not apparent to a human observer.
