Abstract
A method and device for detection of a pulsed mechanical effect on a plant component includes continuously recording an operating noise in the plant component with a sensor disposed on the plant component and converting the recorded noise into a measured signal with the sensor. Then, the measured signal is subjected to a Fourier transformation. An evaluation function is derived from a number of value spectra determined in the above manner, which gives the onset of a pulsed mechanical effect on the plant component.
