Multi-class Fault Diagnosis of Rolling Element Bearing Based on Empirical Mode Decomposition and Entropy Features

Swarup Kumar Laha

Abstract


Rolling element bearings are one of the most commonly used machine elements in engineering industry. Fault detection and diagnosis of rolling element bearings is essential for prevention of malfunction and failure during operation. The present work deals with rolling element bearing fault diagnosis by using Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Four types of bearing conditions are considered in the present analysis: inner race fault (IR), outer race fault (OR), ball fault (BF) and healthy bearing (HB). The vibration signals from bearing housing are acquired through accelerometers. Since the vibration signal from faulty bearing is non-stationary and non-linear Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) is a suitable method for analyzing such signals. The vibration signal is decomposed into intrinsic mode functions (IMF) by using EMD method. Statistical features like Shannon Entropy and Approximate Entropy from the IMFs are extracted for training and testing of the SVM and ANN. The trained models are able to classify different kinds of faults with good accuracy.
