Precision Bearing Fault Diagnosis Using Advanced Machine Learning Models and Comprehensive Vibration Signal Feature Extraction
摘要
Bearing fault diagnosis is crucial for machine reliability and cost reduction. This project applies machine learning to classify bearing faults via vibration signal analysis. Data, prepared by Dr. Eric Bechhoefer for Machinery Failure Prevention Technology (MFPT), includes healthy bearings and those with inner and outer race faults under various loads. Key features like kurtosis, RMS frequency, and standard deviation were extracted, normalized, and ranked using a chi-squared test. Machine learning models, including decision trees (DT), Support Vector Machine (SVMs), and neural networks, were trained to classify bearing conditions. Performance was evaluated by accuracy, with discriminant analysis (DA) and ensemble models (EN) achieving high accuracy. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of combining vibration feature extraction with machine learning for precise bearing fault diagnosis, advancing predictive maintenance.
