Vibration analysis is one of the most powerful tools available for the detection and isolation of incipient faults in mechanical systems. The methods of vibration analysis in use today and under continuous study are broad band vibration monitoring, time domain analysis, and frequency domain analysis. In recent years, great interest has been generated concerning the use of time- frequency repesentation and its application for a machinery diagnostics and condition monitoring system. The objective of the study described in this paper was to develop a new diagnostic tool for the rotating machinery. This paper introduces a new time frequency representation. Directional Winger-Ville Distribution, which analyese the time-frequency structure of the rotating machinery vibration.
