Multi-size-window spectral augmentation: Neural network bearing fault classifier

Features extraction has always been crucial in rotary machines for Condition based machine health monitoring. Time-domain-segmentation being among the preliminary steps for further classification process plays a momentous role. Vibration signals from bearing are quasistationary in nature therefore calculation of constituent frequencies amplitudes in the vibration signal is dependent upon time-segmentation-window size. The proposed research confers the effects of time-segmentation window size on spectral features amplitudes calculation and its impacts on classification accuracy of the Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Using multi-size time-segmentation-window, for comprehensive spectral features calculation, ANN pattern classifier has been trained for enhanced classification. ANN learning assigns importance based relative weights to the links using supervised learning. Experimental results have shown that multi-size-window spectral features for ANN fault classifier perform efficiently for quasi-stationary bearing vibrations.
