Analysis of observed chaotic data

Ball bearings faults are one of the main causes of breakdown of rotating machines. Thus, detection and diagnosis of mechanical faults in ball bearings is very crucial for the reliable operation. This study is focused on fault diagnosis of ball bearings using artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM). A test rig of high speed rotor supported on rolling bearings is used. The vibration response are obtained and analyzed for the various defects of ball bearings. The specific defects are considered as crack in outer race, inner race with rough surface and corrosion pitting in balls. Statistical methods are used to extract features and to reduce the dimensionality of original vibration features. A comparative experimental study of the effectiveness of ANN and SVM is carried out. The results show that the machine learning algorithms mentioned above can be used for automated diagnosis of bearing faults. It is also observed that the severe (chaotic) vibrations occur under bearings with rough inner race surface and ball with corrosion pitting.

Fault diagnosis of ball bearings using machine learning methods

Bearing failure is one of the foremost causes of breakdown in rotating machines, resulting in costly systems downtime. This paper presents a methodology for rolling element bearings fault diagnosis using continuous wavelet transform (CWT). The fault diagnosis method consists of three steps, firstly the six different base wavelets are considered in which three are from real valued and other three from complex valued. Out of these six wavelets, the base wavelet is selected based on wavelet selection criterion to extract statistical features from wavelet coefficients of raw vibration signals. Two wavelet selection criteria Maximum Energy to Shannon Entropy ratio and Maximum Relative Wavelet Energy are used and compared to select an appropriate wavelet for feature extraction. Finally, the bearing faults are classified using these statistical features as input to machine learning techniques. Three machine learning techniques are used for faults classifications, out of which two are supervised machine learning techniques, i.e. support vector machine (SVM), artificial neural network (ANN) and other one is an unsupervised machine learning technique, i.e. self-organizing maps (SOM). The methodology presented in the paper is applied to the rolling element bearings fault diagnosis. The Meyer wavelet is selected based on Maximum Energy to Shannon Entropy ratio and the Complex Morlet wavelet is selected using Maximum Relative Wavelet Energy criterion. The test result showed that the SVM identified the fault categories of rolling element bearing more accurately for both Meyer wavelet and Complex Morlet wavelet and has a better diagnosis performance as compared to the ANN and SOM. Features selected using Meyer wavelet gives higher faults classification efficiency with SVM classifier.

Rolling element bearing fault diagnosis using wavelet transform

The present study attempts to diagnose severity of faults in ball bearings using various machine learning techniques, like support vector machine (SVM) and artificial neural network (ANN). Various features are extracted from raw vibration signals which include statistical features such as skewness, kurtosis, standard deviation and measures of uncertainty such as Shannon entropy, log energy entropy, sure entropy, etc. The calculated features are examined for their sensitivity towards fault of different severity in bearings. The proposed methodology incorporates extraction of most appropriate features from raw vibration signals. Results revealed that apart from statistical features uncertainty measures like log energy entropy and sure entropy are also good indicators of variation in fault severity. This work attempts to classify faults of different severity level in each bearing component which is not considered in most of the previous studies. Classification efficiency achieved by proposed methodology is c...
