Combined Vibro-acoustic Analysis to Identify the Health State of a Multi-stage Gearbox Through Hjorth’s Parameters
摘要
Fault diagnosis in a multi-stage gearbox test rig subjected to fluctuating speeds by utilizing the estimated Hjorth’s parameters has been carried out.
MethodsThe gearbox’s condition is assessed across nine health states, with raw acoustic and vibration signals being collected for analysis. Three distinct input datasets from the health indicators (Hjorth’s parameters) for acoustic and vibration signals are constructed and then undergo feature learning via traditional machine-learning methods.
ResultsThe efficiency of the combined dataset while accomplishing the defect diagnostics and achieving better classification accuracies (~ 100%) in distinguishing between multiple health conditions of the gearbox is investigated.
ConclusionThus, the ability to perform defect diagnostics and characterize the health scenarios of the multi-stage gearbox with negligible reliance on the post-processing approaches and human intervention is demonstrated, establishing the scope for intelligent defect diagnostics.
