Abstract

A method for diagnosis of a defect of an object to be inspected, such as a rotational machine, etc., by measuring a vibration generated thereby, wherein a measured signal generated by the object is detected, an amplitude probability density function of wave-form of the obtained measured signal is expanded orthogonally through a Gram-Charlier series, and the Gram-Charlier series are calculated so as to make diagnosis of defect(s) in the object to be inspected.
