Remaining Life-Time Assessment of Gear Box Using Regression Model

Objectives: The main objective of this study is to develop a model which can able to predict the remaining life time working of a gearbox using vibration signals. Method: This study is considered as a machine learning problem which consists of three phases, namely feature extraction, feature selection and feature classification. In this research, histogram features are extracted from vibration signals, feature selection are carried out using J48 algorithm and different regression models were built to predict the reaming lifetime assessment of a gearbox. Findings: In this study, the J48 algorithm was used and the regression was found to be 0.8944 for Gaussian model. This is a novel approach to finding the life prediction of gearbox using histogram and regression model. Improvements: This algorithm is applicable for real-time analysis and further the condition monitoring can be carried out using different algorithms with less computation time.
