    Fault diagnosis of helical gear box using decision tree through vibration signals
    (RAMS Consultants, 2013) Sugumaran, V.; Jain, D.; Amarnath, M.; Kumar, H.
    This paper uses vibration signals acquired from gears in good and simulated faulty conditions for the purpose of fault diagnosis through machine learning approach. The descriptive statistical features were extracted from vibration signals and the important ones were selected using decision tree (dimensionality reduction). The selected features were then used for classification using J48 decision tree algorithm. The paper also discusses the effect of various parameters on classification accuracy. © RAMS Consultants.

    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.

    Comparative study on tool fault diagnosis methods using vibration signals and cutting force signals by machine learning technique
    (Tech Science Press sale@techscience.com, 2020) Aralikatti, S.S.; Ravikumar, K.N.; Kumar, H.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.; Sugumaran, V.
    The state of cutting tool determines the quality of surface produced on the machined parts. A faulty tool produces poor surface, inaccurate geometry and non-economic production. Thus, it is necessary to monitor tool condition for a machining process to have superior quality and economic production. In the present study, fault classification of single point cutting tool for hard turning has been carried out by employing machine learning technique. Cutting force and vibration signals were acquired to monitor tool condition during machining. A set of four tooling conditions namely healthy, worn flank, broken insert and extended tool overhang have been considered for the study. The machine learning technique was applied to both vibration and cutting force signals. Discrete wavelet features of the signals have been extracted using discrete wavelet transformation (DWT). This transformation represents a large dataset into approximation coefficients which contain the most useful information of the dataset. Significant features, among features extracted, were selected using J48 decision tree technique. Classification of tool conditions was carried out using Naïve Bayes algorithm. A 10 fold cross validation was incorporated to test the validity of classifier. A comparison of performance of classifier was made between cutting force and vibration signal to choose the best signal acquisition method in classifying tool fault conditions using machine learning technique. © 2020 Tech Science Press.
