ABSTRACT
The paper presents a model for prediction and diagnosis of technical state of
complex mechanical systems based on the systems theory. In diagnosis studies is
used a model that has only input and output parameters as a representation of the
system function and behavior. In the paper the authors suggest a more complex
model which contains command and control parameters as well. According to the
prediction/diagnosis studies a model allows: mathematical expression of the
process, determination of the parameter values for the independent inputs and the
variable parameters, identification of both measurable and unmeasurable
parameters. Diagnosis prediction can be done for short, medium and long term. A
very important problem remain: passing from the tribomodel to the tribosystem in
order to diagnose the life time.
An important problem is to select analytical components get out of use. From figure 3 [8] it can be
