The Vibration Monitoring Methods and Signal Processing Techniques for Structural Health Monitoring: A Review

Abstract: Machines without vibrations in the working environment are something non-existent. During machining operations, these vibrations are directly linked to problems in systems having rotating or reciprocating parts, such as bearings, engines, gear boxes, shafts, turbines and motors. Vibration analysis has proved to be a measure for any cause of inaccuracy in manufacturing processes and components or any maintenance decisions related to the machine. The non-contact measurement of vibration signal is very important for reliable structural health monitoring for quality assurance, optimizing profitability of products and services, to enhance manufacturing productivity and to reduce regular periodic inspections. This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of recent vibration monitoring methods and signal processing techniques for structural health monitoring in manufacturing operations. These methods and techniques are used as a tool to acquire, visualize and analyse the sampled data collected in any machining operation which can then be used for decision making about maintenance strategies.

Condition Monitoring and Fault Diagnosis of Induction Motors: A Review

Abstract: There is a constant call for reduction of operational and maintenance costs of induction motors (IMs) These costs can be significantly reduced if the health of the system is monitored regularly This allows for early detection of the degeneration of the motor health, alleviating a proactive response, minimizing unscheduled downtime, and unexpected breakdowns The condition based monitoring has become an important task for engineers and researchers mainly in industrial applications such as railways, oil extracting mills, industrial drives, agriculture, mining industry etc Owing to the demand and influence of condition monitoring and fault diagnosis in IMs and keeping in mind the prerequisite for future research, this paper presents the state of the art review describing different type of IM faults and their diagnostic schemes Several monitoring techniques available for fault diagnosis of IM have been identified and represented The utilization of non-invasive techniques for data acquisition in automatic timely scheduling of the maintenance and predicting failure aspects of dynamic machines holds a great scope in future

Condition based maintenance of machine tools—A review

Abstract: During the operation, machines generate vibrations which result in deterioration of machine tools eventually causing failure of some subsystems or the machine itself. The vibration signatures analysis can be used to detect the nature and extent of any damage in machines and components or any maintenance decisions related to the machine. The condition based monitoring has become an important technique to ensure the machine availability by timely maintenance actions and reducing breakdown maintenance. This paper presents the review of work presented by various researchers on instruments used for vibration measurement and signal processing techniques for condition monitoring of machine tools in manufacturing operations.

Infrared Thermography-Based Fault Diagnosis of Induction Motor Bearings Using Machine Learning

Abstract: Bearing is one of the most crucial parts in induction motor (IM) as a result there is a constant call for effective diagnosis of bearing faults for reliable operation. Infrared thermography (IRT) is appreciably used as a non-destructive and non-contact method to detect the bearing defects in a rotary machine. However, its performance is limited by insignificant information and string noise present in the infrared thermal image. To address this issue, an emergent two dimensional discrete wavelet transform (2D-DWT) based IRT method has been proposed in this article for diagnosing the different bearing faults in IM, namely, inner and outer race defects, and lack of lubrication. The dimensionality of the extracted features was reduced using principal component analysis (PCA) and thereafter the selected features were ranked in the order of most relevant features using the Mahalanobis distance (MD) method to achieve the optimal feature set. Finally these selected features have been passed to the complex decision tree (CDT), linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and support vector machine (SVM) for fault classification and performance evaluation. The classification results reveal that the SVM outperformed CDT and LDA. The proposed strategy can be used for self-adaptive recognition of bearing faults in IM which helps to avoid the unplanned and unwanted system shutdowns due to the bearing failure.

Support vector machines based non-contact fault diagnosis system for bearings

Abstract: Bearing defects have been accepted as one of the major causes of failure in rotating machinery. It is important to identify and diagnose the failure behavior of bearings for the reliable operation of equipment. In this paper, a low-cost non-contact vibration sensor has been developed for detecting the faults in bearings. The supervised learning method, support vector machine (SVM), has been employed as a tool to validate the effectiveness of the developed sensor. Experimental vibration data collected for different bearing defects under various loading and running conditions have been analyzed to develop a system for diagnosing the faults for machine health monitoring. Fault diagnosis has been accomplished using discrete wavelet transform for denoising the signal. Mahalanobis distance criteria has been employed for selecting the strongest feature on the extracted relevant features. Finally, these selected features have been passed to the SVM classifier for identifying and classifying the various bearing defects. The results reveal that the vibration signatures obtained from developed non-contact sensor compare well with the accelerometer data obtained under the same conditions. A developed sensor is a promising tool for detecting the bearing damage and identifying its class. SVM results have established the effectiveness of the developed non-contact sensor as a vibration measuring instrument which makes the developed sensor a cost-effective tool for the condition monitoring of rotating machines.

Machine learning and deep learning

Abstract: Today, intelligent systems that offer artificial intelligence capabilities often rely on machine learning. Machine learning describes the capacity of systems to learn from problem-specific training data to automate the process of analytical model building and solve associated tasks. Deep learning is a machine learning concept based on artificial neural networks. For many applications, deep learning models outperform shallow machine learning models and traditional data analysis approaches. In this article, we summarize the fundamentals of machine learning and deep learning to generate a broader understanding of the methodical underpinning of current intelligent systems. In particular, we provide a conceptual distinction between relevant terms and concepts, explain the process of automated analytical model building through machine learning and deep learning, and discuss the challenges that arise when implementing such intelligent systems in the field of electronic markets and networked business. These naturally go beyond technological aspects and highlight issues in human-machine interaction and artificial intelligence servitization.
