Objectives: Being widely used in most of the industrial machineries, bearings are subjected to wear and tear. Failure of bearings can incur heavy losses in the industries. In order to prevent such mishaps during operation, it is necessary to subject the bearings to a suitable fault diagnosis technique. Methods/Statistical Analysis: Vibration analysis is performed to detect the fault in bearings. For the fault analysis, vibration signals were taken for good, inner race defect, outer race defect and combination of these defects. Since vibration signals are complex and the defect related signature is buried deep within the noise and high frequency resonance, simple signal processing cannot be used for effectively detecting bearing fault. In this paper, discrete wavelets transform were used to detect bearing faults. For wavelet and feature selection, J48 decision tree algorithm was used. For feature classification, Best First Tree (BFT) algorithm was used. Findings: The experimental results indicate biorthogonal wavelets show maximum successful bearing fault detection rate. The classification accuracy was calculated and found to be 96.25%. This result is further refined to get better classification accuracy and the final result was found to be 98%. Application/Improvements: This can be considered to be a part of a preventive maintenance method in order to avoid mishaps in industries. The classification accuracy can be further improved using different algorithms.Keywords

Objective: Gearbox being the backbone of transmission system is designed and manufactured very carefully so that there is minimum compliance in the system. However, there are still faults and failures which usually occur in the system. The failure in helical gearbox is more prominent in bearings rather than gears which are the main components of the system. Gearbox is susceptible to failures because of reasons like misalignment, vibration and shocks. In this paper wavelet feature extraction is used along with random forest algorithm to diagnose faults in gearbox. The vibration signals were used for extracting wavelet features. Features were selected using J48 Decision Tree and were classified using random forest algorithm. A detailed study has been done to ensure that the optimum number of features was used and the factor was iterated so that maximum classification accuracy is obtained. The results are presented along with the conclusion. Method Analysis: The classification accuracy is obtained by 3 steps namely, feature extraction, feature selection and feature classification. By obtaining the Decision Tree the most important factors are selected to obtain maximum classification accuracy at minimum number of features to reduce calculations in real time application. The number of features and depth of data is iterated to obtain the maximum classification accuracy. Findings: Through this research random forest algorithm was tested for fault diagnosis of gearbox and a better classification accuracy was obtained. These results can be further used for fault diagnosis in industries for any gearbox related problems. Application/Improvements: An extensive investigation is done by a random forest algorithm which produced better forecasting than the other algorithms. Based on the overall study, random forest was found as the most preferred classification algorithm that achieved the best classification accuracy of 93.08% which is better than the other algorithms.Keywords

Objectives: The brake system is one of the major components used in automobiles which inhibits motion by absorbing energy from a moving system. So regular monitoring is essential in brake system which ensures not only vehicle safety but also human lives. Methods/Statistical Analysis: In this study, a vibration based fault diagnosis approach has been reported through machine learning approach. A hydraulic brake setup was fabricated and vibration signals under various fault conditions were extracted using accelerometer sensor with suitable frequency. These signals were compared with good range of signals and variation is analyzed through histogram feature extraction, selection and classification of machine learing scenario. Findings: Histogram features were extracted by separation of signals into different bin ranges among which bin with highest accuracy level is further processed through selection process of Decision Tree and 87.78% was the achieved accuracy in fault determination. In Voting Feature Interval (VFI) 85.64% was the accuracy attained in error identification. Application/Improvements: Since Decision Tree gives the better result in fault identification in brake fault diagnosis of this study, it can be further improved by varying the frequency ranges of signals, so each and every variation in signals are noted. Moreover improvement in accuracy level can also be achieved in future by increasing number of samples percondtion of brake system.Keywords

Objectives: Use of an appropriate fault diagnosis methods alerts in advance about malfunctioning and failure of bearings. Vibration and Sound signals of rotating machines contain the dynamic information about their operating conditions. There are many articles reporting suitability of vibration signals for fault diagnosis applications; however, the transducers ( accelerometers) and data acquisition equipment used for vibration signals analysis are costly. This prevents small scale industries and low cost equipment from using diagnostic tools on affordability ground. On the other hand, transducers used for acquiring sound signals (microphones) are relatively low cost or/and affordable. Hence, there is a need for studying the use of sound signal for fault diagnosis applications. This paper uses sound signals acquired from roller bearings in good and simulated faulty conditions for the fault diagnosis purpose. Methods/Analysis: Sound signals from bearings having defects on inner race and outer race have been considered for analysis. Since the characteristic sound signals of faulty bearings are complex and are struck in the noise and high frequency structural resonance, simple signal processing techniques cannot be used to detect bearing fault. Hence, wavelet features are used for extracting features from sound signals. The energy levels at various levels of wavelet decomposition are used to define features from sound signals. The most contributing features were selected and their classification is done using decision tree algorithm. This paper also discusses the effect of features, effect of various classifier parameters on classification accuracy. Findings: In feature classification of the fault signals the RBIO 2.4 wavelet has given the highest classification accuracy of 96.66%. Out of the 120 total instances, 116 (96.66%) were correctly identified while 4 instances were incorrectly classified with an error margin of (3.33%). Application/Improvements: An extensive investigation has been made by a J48 algorithm which produced better predictive performance than the other algorithms. The training and the optimization of J48 model with their essential parametric measures are reported. Based on the overall study, J48 with variation in number of objects (from 1 to 6) feature was found as the most successful classification algorithm that achieved the best classification accuracy of 96.66%. The classification accuracy of the proposed algorithm has been found better with only 4 misclassified features. The classification capability and the performance evaluation of J48 algorithm with confusion matrix and detailed classification accuracy is reported and discussed for further study.Keywords

Finding: Through this study the classification accuracy obtained is 97.619% by varying the different parameter to achieve the highest accuracy level. Data used in this study is exclusively obtained through experiment and subsequently through J48 decision tree and random tree classification accuracy level is studied to accomplish the highest accuracy. Novelty/Improvements: The comparison of different discrete wavelet transforms of the acoustic signals proved Daubechies 5 Discrete Wavelet Transform is the best suited one to use. The methodology yielded a satisfactory classification accuracy of 97.619%, which is higher than what was obtained by similar experiments with different methodology till date. The results and their analysis is discussed in the study. The performance of this methodology may be further improved by using different classifiers.Keywords

Objective: Tool condition monitoring is an important aspect of the modern day manufacturing system. It plays a significant role in increasing the efficiency of machining operation by identifying defects at a very early stage. Tool wear decreases the life of the tool considerably, increases the length of the machining process, also affects the surface finish and the dimensional accuracy of the product. To identify whether the tool is in a good or faulty condition, a monitoring system is essential. Method/Analysis: The fault diagnosis of the single point cutting tool was accomplished with the vibration signals obtained from auniaxial accelerometer attached to the cutting tool in a lathe machine. In this study, three different spindle speeds, feed rates and depth of cuts and four different wear levels of cutting tool are considered. Statistical data obtained from the signals is classified using a decision tree algorithm to get substantial features. The recognized features are considered in classifying data by using Simple CART classifier. Findings: The accuracy of the classifier was found to be 73.38% for the model with all the signals combined. The classification accuracy was observed to improve with the reduction in complexity of the model. The classification accuracy obtained for the model with only varying feed rate and depth of cut was in the range of 81–87 %. On further reduction of the model to have varying depth of cut was found to have a classification accuracy in the range of 81.5–91 %. The model with all the parameters independent yielded classification accuracy in the range of 81–100 %. Applications/Improvements: This study broadly analysed the use of simple CART classifier to diagnose fault in the cutting tool during machining. It can be used to increase productivity and reduce machine downtime. The improvements can be made to this study by considering different feature extraction techniques for more reliability.Keywords

Objectives: There is a wide range of methods implemented for tool condition monitoring in the erstwhile manufacturing industry to ensure that the process continues uninterruptedly with minimal supervision. This monitoring method reduces the overall maintenance cost of machinery and prevents the occurrence of failure by prediction. This prior detection of tool wear, in turn, reduces the machine downtime and enhances machining efficiency. The progressive wear of a cutting tool can be detrimental to the quality of the machined surface, tolerances, dimensional accuracy and also adversely change the work or tool geometry. So the requirement of a diagnosing system with consistency is vital. Method/Analysis: This study deals with acquiring vibrational signals using accelerometer during turning operation performed on a lathe machine with good and fault simulated single point cutting tool. From the acquired signals, certain statistical features such as standard deviation, kurtosis etc. were extracted and substantial features were recognised using a decision tree algorithm. Those recognised features were deliberated in classifying data using random forest classifier. Findings: The accuracy of classification by the random forest classifier for all the signals combined together yields 74.4%. When considering feed rate and depth of cut as varying parameters yields an accuracy around 84%. Further an accuracy of around 88% was observed when considering depth of cut as varying parameter. When considering every experiment as a separate model yields around 95% classification accuracy. Applications/Improvements: This research work analysed the utilization of random forest classifier to identify the tool wear. It can be used in identifying the tool wear which affects surface finish, dimensional accuracy and tolerance of the part during machining. This work can be improved by analysing with different classifier algorithms to efficiently predict the tool wear.Keywords

Objectives: Gears are machine elements that transmit motion by successively engaging teeth. In technical terms, gears are used to transmit motion. Fault in gears can lead to major problems which may end up in affecting the gear’s functionality. Hence, fault diagnosis at an initial stage is of utmost importance to reduce losses that might occur. Continuous monitoring of the gears is very necessary. Vibration signals recorded for good and faulty conditions are used for fault detection in the helical gearbox. The fault diagnosis is done using feature extraction, feature selection and feature classification. Firstly, feature extraction was carried out using MATLAB software. Feature selection was done using J48 classifier. The classification accuracies for different conditions were calculated and compared by using K-Star classifier and the results obtained were very promising. Methods/Analysis: Vibration signals were obtained from the experimental set up of the helical gearbox. The recorded signals were then used for feature extraction using MATLAB through different wavelet features. The total number of signals extracted was 448 with each class consisting of 64 signals. The families of wavelets taken into account for fault diagnosis were Haar, Discrete Mayer, Daubechies, Biorthogonal, Reverse Biorthogonal, Coiflet and Symlets. In wavelet selection, signals were split into different frequency components and each component was studied with a resolution matched to its scale. J48 classifier was used to carry out the feature selection process and decision tree was obtained for Sym 8 wavelet. The best combination of nodes was visualized and further feature classification was done on these nodes. By varying the global blends the optimum number of objects was selected to obtain the highest classification accuracy. Finding: The classification accuracy for the built model was 91.74%. The data extracted from the vibration signal is used for the classification purpose. This maximum classification accuracy was obtained with K star algorithm. Novelty/Improvements: Wavelet selection was different from Fourier methods in analyzing physical situations where the signal contains discontinuities and sharp spikes. K Star algorithm was used to carry out the fault diagnosis.Keywords

Objectives: In monitoring brain activities, Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals play a significant role. As brain activities are many and highly dynamic in nature, processing of EEG signals is a challenging task. Since classification is more accurate when the pattern is simplified through representation by well performing features, feature extraction and selection play an important role in classification systems such as Clonal Selection Classification Algorithm (CSCA) algorithm. Methods/Analysis: This study is one such attempt to perform the prosthetic limb movements using EEG signals. In this research, the performance of CSCA for prosthetic limb movements of EEG signals has been reported. Findings: In this paper, the EEG signals are acquired for four different limb movements like finger open (fopen), finger close (fclose), wrist clockwise (wcw) and wrist counterclock wise (wccw). These EEG signals can be used to build a model to control the prosthetic limb movements using CSCA algorithm. The statistical parameters were extracted from the EEG signals. The best feature set was identified using J48 decision tree classifier. The well performing features were then classified using CSCA algorithm. The classification performance of CSCA has been reported. Novelty/Improvement: Our work is useful for controlling artificial limb with movements using EEG signals. The signal processing of EEG signals is a complex task and requires sophisticated techniques to yield a better classification accuracy.Keywords

Background/Objectives: Modern manufacturing industries aim to increase production rate with less production cost and high quality. To achieve high production rate with minimum cost, machining parameters must be optimized in industries. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to establish the relationship between the influence of cutting parameters and surface roughness in dry boring operation. Methods/Statistical analysis: A full factorial design was used to evaluate the effect of four independent variables (feed rate, spindle speed, depth of cut, tool flank wear). Stainless steel 304 was selected as a work piece due to high hardness, chemical stability and various applications. Carbide tipped tool insert was used for machining. Findings: During machining, Statistical features were extracted from the vibration signal. The extracted statistical features, machining condition and tool flank wear were considered to establish the various surface roughness prediction models. Multilayer perceptron and decision tree models were developed to predict the surface roughness. From these two models, the best suitable prediction model was selected based on maximum correlation coefficient and minimum ischolar_main mean squared error values. Application/Improvements: The selected best model can be used for variety of machining conditions to predict the surface roughness of the machined surface.Keywords

Objectives: In this paper, machine learning approach, grounded on vibrations, has been used for helical gear box and holds a vital position in the industry. This approach has three steps namely feature extraction, feature selection and feature classification. Firstly, feature extraction was carried out using Matrix Laboratory (MATLAB) software. Feature selection was done using J48 classifier. The nodes with highest classification accuracy were further tested using J48 graft classifier and the results obtained were very promising. Methods/Analysis: Vibration signals were obtained from the experimental set up of the helical gear box. The recorded signals were then used for feature extraction using MATLAB through different wavelet features. The total numbers of signals extracted were 448 with each class consisting of 64 signals. The families of wavelets taken into account for fault diagnosis were Haar, Discrete Mayer, Daubechies, Biorthogonal, Reverse Biorthogonal, Coiflet and Symlets (SYM). In wavelet selection, signals were dissected into various frequencies and each was analyzed with appropriate resolution.J48 classifier was used to carry out the feature selection process and decision tree was obtained for Sym 8 wavelet. The best combination of nodes was visualized and further feature classification was done on these nodes. Findings: Feature classification was carried out by J48 graft algorithm. Using the grafting technique, the classifier achieved the highest accuracy for pruned data for 10 times cross validation. It gave maximum accuracy for pruned data (40%) and the results were satisfactory. Novelty/Improvements: The J48 graft algorithm uses grafting to infer from previous decision trees. This helps in reducing prediction errors.Keywords

Objective: A variety of tool condition monitoring techniques in modern manufacturing system plays a key role in estimating the tool wear which can save the machine downtime and increase the cutting tool utilization. Tool wear compromises dimensional accuracy and affects the precision, tolerance and surface finish. An active condition monitoring system of tool health is required for superior productivity. Method/Analysis: In this experimental study, the accelerometer was used to acquire the vibration signal during the turning operation in a lathe machine with good and fault simulated single point cutting tool. The signals are acquired for all combinations of spindle speeds, feed rates, depth of cuts and tool wear level. In this study, 3 different spindle speeds, feed rates and depth of cuts, and 4 different tool wear levels were considered. Statistical features were extracted from the acquired signal and substantial features were recognized using a decision tree algorithm. The identified substantial statistical features were considered in classifying signals using logistic model tree classifier. Findings: The classification accuracy obtained for all the signals combined (i.e., variable spindle speeds, feed rates, depth of cuts and tool wear levels) were found to be 74.27%. The classification accuracy achieved was improved through simplifying the model by considering feed rate and depth of cut as variable factor. The accuracy of the classification was found to be in the range of 82-86%. Further, the classification accuracy was found to increase to the range of 82-93%, when considering the depth of cut alone as variable factor. Application/Improvement: The utilization of logistic model tree to identify the tool wear level in a single point cutting tool during turning operation was comprehensively analysed in this study. The performance of the classifier on fault diagnosis of single point cutting tool and its improvement by reducing the complexity of the model was discussed.Keywords

Objectives: This study aims at devising a methodology for accurately predicting the different fault conditions of gears in a gearbox using acoustic signals. Statistical Analysis: The acoustic signals are captured for several artificially created fault conditions of different magnitude and the wavelet features are extricated from captured acoustic signals. Subsequently,prominent features are selected by utilizing J48 Decision tree which discerns the most dominant traits among the allocated data obtained from wavelet transform of the acoustic signals followed by Random Forest for the classification of features. Findings: Out of a total of eleven features extracted, six were selected through Decision Tree and Random forest was used for feature classification of acoustic signals using wavelet features. Several iterations were conducted on the wavelet features by varying different parameters and the maximum percentage accuracy was found to be 99.76%. The instances of misclassification of features were minimal in Random Forest and it proved to be an efficient and precise classifier. Hence, Random Forest proved to be an easy to use, fast and accurate classifier that could classify various kinds of wavelet features efficiently. Applications: The methodology can be used to provide accurate real time results about the condition of gear teeth.Keywords
