A simple and novel method for detection of low intensity knock, occurred in spark ignition engines, is developed in this paper. The proposed method is based on the modeling of the cylinder block vibration signal by auto regressive moving average (ARMA) parametric model. It is observed that one of the estimated moving average parameters is highly sensitive to the knock, so by monitoring this parameter, it is possible to detect the knock in SI engines even in very initial stages. The results also demonstrate that the proposed method is capable of detecting knock by simple hardware with low sampling frequency, leads to reduction the computation time as well as hardware complexity and cost. Moreover, a new method of utilizing the tachometer signal in parallel to the accelerometer one to estimate the knock-sensitive window (KSW) is introduced. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
