And Performance

This paper proposes a novel technique combining datadriven and model-based techniques to significantly improve the performance in bearing fault diagnostics. Features that provide best classification performance for the given data are selected from a combined set of data driven and model based features. Some of the common data driven techniques from time, frequency and time-frequency domain are considered. For model based feature extraction, recently developed cross-sample entropy is used. The ranking and performance of each of these feature sets are studied, when used independently and when used together. Mutual information based technique is used for ranking and selection of the optimal feature set. Using this method, the contribution to performance and redundancy of each of the data driven features and model based features can be studied. This method can be used to design an effective diagnostic system for bearing fault detection.

Optimal Feature

Rolling element bearings are among the key components in many rotating machineries. It is hence necessary to determine the condition of the bearing with a reasonable degree of confidence. Many techniques have been developed for bearing fault detection. Each of these techniques has its own strengths and weaknesses. In this paper, various features are compared for detecting inner and outer race defects in rolling element bearings. Mutual information between the feature and the defect is used as a quantitative measure of quality. Various time, frequency, and time-frequency domain features are compared and ranked according to their cumulative mutual information content, and an optimal feature set is determined for bearing classification. The performance of this optimal feature set is evaluated using an artificial neural network with one hidden layer. An overall classification accuracy of 97% was obtained over a range of rotating speeds.

Cross Terms

The vibration signals of rolling element bearings are random cyclostationary when they have faults. Also, statistical properties of the signals change periodically with time. The accurate analysis of time-varying signals is an essential pre-requisite for the fault diagnosis and hence safe operation of rolling element bearings. The Wigner distribution is probably most widely used among the Cohen’s class in order to describe how the spectral content of a signal changes over time. However, the basic nature of such signals causes significant interfering cross-terms, which do not permit a straightforward interpretation of the energy distribution. To overcome this difficulty, the Wigner–Ville distribution (WVD) based on the cyclic spectral density (CSD) is discussed in this article. It is shown that the improved WVD, based on CSD of a long time series, can render the time–frequency distribution less susceptible to noise, and restrain the cross-terms in the time–frequency domain. Simulation and experiment of the rolling element-bearing fault diagnosis are performed, and the results indicate the validity of WVD based on CSD in time–frequency analysis for bearing fault detection.

Recent Developments

Rolling element bearings are widely used in various rotary machines. Most rotary machine failures are attributed to unexpected bearing faults. Accordingly, reliable bearing fault detection is critically needed in industries to prevent these machines’ performance degradation, malfunction, or even catastrophic failures. Feature extraction plays an important role in bearing fault detection and significant research efforts have thus far been devoted to this subject from both academia and industry. This paper intends to provide a brief review of the recent developments in feature extraction for bearing fault detection, and the focus will be placed on the advances in methods for dealing with the nonstationary characteristics of bearing fault signatures.

The Exploitation of Wavelet De-Noising To Detect Bearing Faults Failure diagnosis is an important component of the Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) activities for most engineering systems. Rolling element bearings are the most common cause of rotating machinery failure. The existence of the amplitude modulation and noises in the faulty bearing vibration signal present challenges to effective fault detection method. The wavelet transform has been widely used in signal de-noising due to its extraordinary time-frequency representation capability. In this paper, we proposed new approach for bearing fault detection based on the autocorrelation of wavelet de-noised vibration signal through a wavelet base function derived from the bearing impulse response. To improve the fault detection process the wavelet parameters (damping factor and center frequency) are optimized using maximization kurtosis criteria to produce wavelet base function with high similarity with the impulses generated by bearing defects, that leads to increase the magnitude of the wavelet coefficients related to the fault impulses and enhance the fault detection process. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed technique to reveal the bearing fault impulses and its periodicity for both simulated and real rolling bearing vibration signals.
