    Ball bearing fault diagnosis based on vibration signals of two stroke ic engine using continuous wavelet transform
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH info@springer-sbm.com, 2020) Ravikumar, K.N.; Madhusudana, C.K.; Kumar, H.; Gangadharan, K.V.
    Ball bearings are used in the different critical fields of engineering applications such as IC engine, centrifugal pump and fans. In IC engine, the ball bearing is one of the critical components and it takes various types of dynamic loads and stresses. Condition monitoring of such ball bearing is very significant to avoid the catastrophic failure of rotating components in IC Engine. This article describes the fault detection of roller ball bearing of an IC engine gearbox with the use of signal processing technique such as spectrum analysis and Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) analysis. Vibration signals of IC engine are used to identify the fault in the ball bearing and to detect the healthy and fault bearing conditions. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd 2020.

    Engine gearbox fault diagnosis using machine learning approach
    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd. Howard House Wagon Lane, Bingley BD16 1WA, 2018) Vernekar, K.; Kumar, H.; Gangadharan, K.V.
    Purpose: Bearings and gears are major components in any rotatory machines and, thus, gained interest for condition monitoring. The failure of such critical components may cause an increase in down time and maintenance cost. Condition monitoring using the machine learning approach is a conceivable solution for the problem raised during the operation of the machinery system. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach: This paper aims engine gearbox fault diagnosis based on a decision tree and artificial neural network algorithm. Findings: The experimental result (classification accuracy 85.55 percent) validates that the proposed approach is an effective method for engine gearbox fault diagnosis. Originality/value: This paper attempts to diagnose the faults in engine gearbox based on the machine learning approach with the combination of statistical features of vibration signals, decision tree and multi-layer perceptron neural network techniques. © 2018, Emerald Publishing Limited.

    Fault diagnosis of antifriction bearing in internal combustion engine gearbox using data mining techniques
    (Springer, 2022) Ravikumar, K.N.; Aralikatti, S.S.; Kumar, H.; Kumar, G.N.; Gangadharan, K.V.
    Ball bearing failure are most common failure in rotating machinery, which can be catastrophic. Hence obtaining early failure warning along with precise fault detection technique is at most important. Early detection and timely intervention are the key in condition monitoring for long term endurance of machine components. The early research has used signal processing and spectral analysis extensively for fault detection however data mining with machine learning is most effective in fault diagnosis, the same is presented in this paper. The vibration signals are acquired for an output shaft antifriction bearing in a two-wheeler gearbox operated at various loading conditions with healthy and fault conditions. Data mining is employed for these acquired signals. Statistical, discrete wavelet and empirical mode decomposition are employed for feature extraction process and J48 decision tree for feature selection. Classification is carried out using K*, Random forest and support vector machine algorithm. The classifiers are trained and tested using tenfold cross validation method to diagnose the bearing fault. A comparative study of feature extraction and classifiers are done to evaluate the classification accuracy. The results obtained from K* classifier with wavelet feature yielded better accuracy than rest other classifiers with classification accuracy 92.5% for bearing fault diagnosis. © 2021, The Society for Reliability Engineering, Quality and Operations Management (SREQOM), India and The Division of Operation and Maintenance, Lulea University of Technology, Sweden.
