The Hybrid KICA-GDA-LSSVM Method Research on Rolling Bearing Fault Feature Extraction and Classification

الملخص EN

Rolling element bearings are widely used in high-speed rotating machinery; thus proper monitoring and fault diagnosis procedure to avoid major machine failures is necessary.

As feature extraction and classification based on vibration signals are important in condition monitoring technique, and superfluous features may degrade the classification performance, it is needed to extract independent features, so LSSVM (least square support vector machine) based on hybrid KICA-GDA (kernel independent component analysis-generalized discriminate analysis) is presented in this study.

A new method named sensitive subband feature set design (SSFD) based on wavelet packet is also presented; using proposed variance differential spectrum method, the sensitive subbands are selected.

Firstly, independent features are obtained by KICA; the feature redundancy is reduced.

Secondly, feature dimension is reduced by GDA.

Finally, the projected feature is classified by LSSVM.

The whole paper aims to classify the feature vectors extracted from the time series and magnitude of spectral analysis and to discriminate the state of the rolling element bearings by virtue of multiclass LSSVM.

Experimental results from two different fault-seeded bearing tests show good performance of the proposed method.
