Abstract

The paper deals with ways of applying mathematical methods to evaluate the result of tribodiagnostics related to vehicle combustion engines. The idea is based on a discriminative analysis that makes possible to describe one qualitative parameter (complex technical state) by means of several quantitative parameters (i.e. quantity of diagnostic parameters). The results have been verified by means of considerable statistical data of T-3-930 engines made in the Czech Republic which are used in ground vehicles.
