Vibration measurement serves as the basis for various engineering practices such as natural frequency or resonant frequency estimation. As image acquisition devices become cheaper and faster, vibration measurement and frequency estimation through image sequence analysis continue to receive increasing attention. In the conventional photogrammetry and optical methods of frequency measurement, vibration signals are first extracted before implementing the vibration frequency analysis algorithm. In this work, we demonstrate that frequency prediction can be achieved using a single feed-forward convolutional neural network. The proposed method is verified using a vibration signal generator and excitation system, and the result compared with that of an industrial contact vibrometer in a real application. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve acceptable prediction accuracy even in unfavorable field conditions.

Optical measurement can substantially reduce the required amount of labor and simplify the measurement process. Furthermore, the optical measurement method can provide full-field measurement results of the target object without affecting the physical properties of the measurement target, such as stiffness, mass, or damping. The advent of consumer grade depth cameras, such as the Microsoft Kinect, Intel RealSence, and ASUS Xtion, has attracted significant research attention owing to their availability and robustness in sampling depth information. This paper presents an effective method employing the Kinect sensor V2 and an artificial neural network for vibration frequency measurement. Experiments were conducted to verify the performance of the proposed method. The proposed method can provide good frequency prediction within acceptable accuracy compared to an industrial vibrometer, with the advantages of contactless process and easy pipeline implementation.

A bearing diagnosis system that combines cepstrum coefficient method for feature extraction from bearing vibration signals and artificial neural network (ANN) models for the classification is proposed in this paper. We first segment the vibration signal and obtain the corresponding cepstrum coefficients, then classify the motor systems through ANN models. Utilizing the proposed method, one can identify the characteristics hiding inside the vibration signal and then diagnose the abnormalities. To evaluate this method, several experiments for the normal and abnormal conditions have been performed in the laboratory and the results are used to verify the method. It is shown that the proposed method had effectively distinguished the difference between the normal and abnormal cases and classified correctly the corresponding feature conditions.

Aiming to better reflect features of machinery vibration signals of high-voltage (HV) circuit breaker (CB), a new method is proposed on the basis of energy-equal entropy of wavelet packet(WP). First of all, three-layer wavelet packet decomposes vibration signal, reconstructing 8 nodes of signals in the 3rd layer. Then, the vector is extracted with energy-equal entropy of reconstructed signals. At last, the simple back-propagation (BP) neural network for fault diagnosis contributes to classification of the characteristic parameter. This technology is the basis of a number of patents and patents pending, which is experimentally demonstrated by the significant improvement of diagnose faults.

This paper deals with road recognition by the use of neural networks on vibration signals. In particular, an accelerometer sensor is used and it acquires the vibrations transmitted in the contact between the tyres and the ground. Twelve different types of road have been tested at different speed of the car. Based on these data a neural network has been proposed to correlate a set of suitable characteristics of the vibration signal with the type of road. The effectiveness of the resulting neural network has been proved on a control set of data. Moreover the paper reports a sensitivity analysis of the neural network in order to minimize the number of inputs needed and to make it rugged.

The method of monitoring the tank vibration is becoming an effective method to detect the winding deformation of power transformer for the reliable and secure operation of power system. In order to further identify the relationship between the winding deformation fault of power transformer and the measured tank vibration signals, the short-circuit test is done in a 220kV transformer with the developed vibration measurement system and the vibration frequency response curves for some pre-setting winding deformation faults are obtained. Multi-fractal spectrum is applied to analyze the of the obtained vibration signals when winding conditions of power transformer are changed. It is shown that multi-fractal spectrum can effectively indicate the geometric structure features of vibration signals. The parameter variations of multi-fractal spectrum are agreed well with the preset winding faults, which provides another method for the feature extraction of vibration signal to detect the winding deformation of power transformer.

Condition monitoring is used to track the unavoidable phases of rolling element bearings in an induction motor (IM) to ensure reliable operation in domestic and industrial machinery. The convolutional neural network (CNN) has been used as an effective tool to recognize and classify multiple rolling bearing faults in recent times. Due to the nonlinear and nonstationary nature of vibration signals, it is quite difficult to achieve high classification accuracy when directly using the original signal as the input of a convolution neural network. To evaluate the fault characteristics, ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) is implemented to decompose the signal into multiple intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) in this work. Then, based on the kurtosis value, insignificant IMFs are filtered out and the original signal is reconstructed with the rest of the IMFs so that the reconstructed signal contains the fault characteristics. After that, the 1-D reconstructed vibration signal is converted into a 2-D image using a continuous wavelet transform with information from the damage frequency band. This also transfers the signal into a time-frequency domain and reduces the nonstationary effects of the vibration signal. Finally, the generated images of various fault conditions, which possess a discriminative pattern relative to the types of faults, are used to train an appropriate CNN model. Additionally, with the reconstructed signal, two different methods are used to create an image to compare with our proposed image creation approach. The vibration signal is collected from a self-designed testbed containing multiple bearings of different fault conditions. Two other conventional CNN architectures are compared with our proposed model. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that the image generated with fault signatures not only accurately classifies multiple faults with CNN but can also be considered as a reliable and stable method for the diagnosis of fault bearings.

Stamping is one of the most widely used processes in the sheet metalworking industry. Because of the increasing demand for a faster process, ensuring that the stamping process is conducted without compromising quality is crucial. The tool used in the stamping process is crucial to the efficiency of the process; therefore, effective monitoring of the tool health condition is essential for detecting stamping defects. In this study, vibration measurement was used to monitor the stamping process and tool health. A system was developed for capturing signals in the stamping process, and each stamping cycle was selected through template matching. A one-dimensional (1D) convolutional neural network (CNN) was developed to classify the tool wear condition. The results revealed that the 1D CNN architecture a yielded a high accuracy (>99%) and fast adaptability among different models.
