Item Fault diagnosis of deep groove ball bearing through discrete wavelet features using support vector machine(COMADEM International rajbknrao@btinternet.com, 2014) Vernekar, K.; Kumar, H.; Gangadharan, K.V.Bearings are the most important and frequently used machine components in most of the rotating machinery. In industry, breakdown of such crucial components causes heavy losses. So prevention of failure of such components is very essential. This paper presents an online fault detection of a bearing used in an internal combustion engine through machine learning approach using vibration signals of bearing in healthy and simulated faulty conditions. Vibration signals are acquired from bearing in healthy as well as different simulated fault conditions of bearing. The Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) features were extracted from vibration signals using MATLAB program. Decision tree technique (J48 algorithm) has been used for important feature selection out of extracted DWT features. Support vector machine is being used as a classifier and obtained results found with classification accuracy of 98.67%.The advantage of machine learning technique for fault diagnosis over conventional vibration analysis approach has demonstrated in this paper.Item Engine gearbox fault diagnosis using empirical mode decomposition method and Naïve Bayes algorithm(Springer India sanjiv.goswami@springer.co.in, 2017) Vernekar, K.; Kumar, H.; Gangadharan, K.V.This paper presents engine gearbox fault diagnosis based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and Naïve Bayes algorithm. In this study, vibration signals from a gear box are acquired with healthy and different simulated faulty conditions of gear and bearing. The vibration signals are decomposed into a finite number of intrinsic mode functions using the EMD method. Decision tree technique (J48 algorithm) is used for important feature selection out of extracted features. Naïve Bayes algorithm is applied as a fault classifier to know the status of an engine. The experimental result (classification accuracy 98.88%) demonstrates that the proposed approach is an effective method for engine fault diagnosis. © 2017, Indian Academy of Sciences.Item 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.Item 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.
