Fault Diagnosis of Gearbox Based on Wavelet Transforms and Neural Networks

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, an actual system based on wavelet transform and artificial neural networks was established to diagnose different types of fault in a gearbox. As a key step, biorthogonal wavelet was used to denoise in feature extraction of signals because of its properties of compact support, high vanishing moment and symmetry. Consequently, a multi-layer perceptron network were designed to diagnose the fault status with feature vectors as inputs. In order to improve the network learning speed and stability, Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm was used to train the network. The present classification accuracy indicates the effectiveness of gearbox failure diagnosis.
