Abstract

Purpose

Since reliability and extended service life of rotating machinery are the industries´ major concerns, fault diagnosis systems are constantly being improved, especially by artificial intelligence methods. Current paper proposes a diagnostic method integrating stationary and non-stationary signal processing techniques, selection of multiple attributes, and classification by machine-learning algorithm. The technique was applied to a small number of measured signals.

Method

The integrated method uses the ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) (which handles nonlinear and non-stationary data) for signal processing, and the support vector machine (SVM) for the classification of the machinery condition with a small number of signals. Augmented data and feature selection with a genetic algorithm are used to improve the accuracy of the analysis.

Results and Conclusions

Evaluation was obtained by vibration signals from a rotor test rig with different types of faults. Experimental results showed that the proposed method successfully identifies the rotor´s faults with accuracy of 95.19%.
