Ltd claims@sagepub.com, 2016) Madhusudana, C.K.; Budati, S.; Gangadhar, N.; Kumar, H.; Narendranath, S.Successful automation of a machining process system requires an effective and efficient tool condition monitoring system to ensure high productivity, products of desired dimensions, and long machine tool life. As such the component's processing quality and increased system reliability will be guaranteed. This paper presents a classification of healthy and faulty conditions of the face milling tool by using the Naive Bayes technique. A set of descriptive statistical parameters is extracted from the vibration signals. The decision tree technique is used to select significant features out of all statistical extracted features. The selected features are fed to the Naive Bayes algorithm. The output of the algorithm is used to study and classify the milling tool condition and it is found that the Naive Bayes model is able to give 96.9% classification accuracy. Also the performances of the different classifiers are compared. Based on the results obtained, the Naive Bayes technique can be recommended for online monitoring and fault diagnosis of the face milling tool. © 2016 The Author(s).Item Condition monitoring of roller bearing by K-star classifier and K-nearest neighborhood classifier using sound signal(Tech Science Press sale@techscience.com, 2017) Sharma, R.K.; Sugumaran, V.; Kumar, H.; Amarnath, M.Most of the machineries in small or large scale industry have rotating element supported by bearings for rigid support and accurate movement. For proper functioning of machinery, condition monitoring of the bearing is very important. In present study sound signal is used to continuously monitor bearing health as sound signals of rotating machineries carry dynamic information of components. There are numerous studies in literature that are reporting superiority of vibration signal of bearing fault diagnosis. However, there are very few studies done using sound signal. The cost associated with condition monitoring using sound signal (Microphone) is less than the cost of transducer used to acquire vibration signal (Accelerometer). This paper employs sound signal for condition monitoring of roller bearing by K-star classifier and k-nearest neighborhood classifier. The statistical feature extraction is performed from acquired sound signals. Then two layer feature selection is done using J48 decision tree algorithm and random tree algorithm. These selected features were classified using K-star classifier and k-nearest neighborhood classifier and parametric optimization is performed to achieve the maximum classification accuracy. The classification results for both K-star classifier and k-nearest neighborhood classifier for condition monitoring of roller bearing using sound signals were compared. © Copyright 2017 Tech Science Press.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 Face milling tool condition monitoring using sound signal(Springer, 2017) Madhusudana, C.K.; Kumar, H.; Narendranath, S.This article presents the fault diagnosis of the face milling tool using sound signal. During milling, sound signals of the face milling tool under healthy and fault conditions are acquired. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) features are extracted from the acquired sound signals. The support vector machine (SVM) technique is used to classify the face milling tool conditions using the extracted DWT features. Also, a comparison of classification efficiencies of different classifiers with respect to different features extraction methods is carried out. It is shown that, all extracted DWT features demonstrate better results than those obtained from selected statistical features and empirical mode decomposition features. The SVM technique is the best classifier as it has given an encouraging result in this study when compared to other classifiers, and it has provided 83% classification accuracy for the given experimental conditions and workpiece of steel alloy 42CrMo4. Hence, the SVM method and DWT technique can be put forward for the applications of condition monitoring of the face milling tool with sound signal. © 2017, The Society for Reliability Engineering, Quality and Operations Management (SREQOM), India and The Division of Operation and Maintenance, Lulea University of Technology, Sweden.Item Use of discrete wavelet features and support vector machine for fault diagnosis of face milling tool(Tech Science Press sale@techscience.com, 2018) Madhusudana, C.K.; Gangadhar, N.; Kumar, H.; Narendranath, S.This paper presents the fault diagnosis of face milling tool based on machine learning approach. While machining, spindle vibration signals in feed direction under healthy and faulty conditions of the milling tool are acquired. A set of discrete wavelet features is extracted from the vibration signals using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) technique. The decision tree technique is used to select significant features out of all extracted wavelet features. C-support vector classification (C-SVC) and ?-support vector classification (?-SVC) models with different kernel functions of support vector machine (SVM) are used to study and classify the tool condition based on selected features. From the results obtained, C-SVC is the best model than ?-SVC and it can be able to give 94.5% classification accuracy for face milling of special steel alloy 42CrMo4. © © 2018 Tech Science Press..Item Condition monitoring of single point cutting tools based on machine learning approach(International Institute of Acoustics and Vibrations P O Box 13 Auburn AL 36831, 2018) Gangadhar, N.; Kumar, H.; Narendranath, S.; Sugumaran, V.This paper presents the use of multilayer perceptron (MLP) for fault diagnosis through a histogram feature extracted from vibration signals of healthy and faulty conditions of single point cutting tools.
