Vibration Analysis Based Feature Extraction for Bearing Fault Detection

Article Preview

Abstract:

Rolling element bearings are widely used in various rotary machines. Most rotary machine failures are attributed to unexpected bearing faults. Accordingly, reliable bearing fault detection is critically needed in industries to prevent these machines’ performance degradation, malfunction, or even catastrophic failures. Feature extraction plays an important role in bearing fault detection and significant research efforts have thus far been devoted to this subject from both academia and industry. This paper intends to provide a brief review of the recent developments in feature extraction for bearing fault detection, and the focus will be placed on the advances in methods for dealing with the nonstationary characteristics of bearing fault signatures.
