Envelope Detection (ED) is traditionally always used with Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to identify the rolling element bearing faults. The inability of FFT to detect non-stationary signals makes Wavelet Analysis (WA) an alternative for machinery fault diagnosis as WA can detect both stationary and non-stationery signals. A comparative study of ED with FFT and WA techniques for bearing fault dia...

With the widespread application of wind turbines, the Maintenance issue gets growing concern. Bearings play a critical role in industrial applications. It is necessary to effectively monitor their health status. The shock pulse method (SPM) can detect the incipient fault of bearings and prevent the fault consequence effectively. However, many researchers used laboratory data to validate the SPM...

The wavelet de-noising technique with wavelet based function has been used in this paper for bearing fault detection. The applications of the wavelet de-noising show that the fault pulses in time-domain of the de-noised signals are easily to be detected as a result of removing the covering noise, which is not possible through the time-domain analysis of the original signal. Furthermore, the rec...

Induction motors plays the most important role in any industry. Induction motor faults results in motor failure causing breakdown and great loss of production due to shutdown of industry and also increases the running cost of machine with reduction in efficiency. This needs for early detection of fault with diagnosis of its root cause. In this research paper a wavelet based fault classification...

The topic of Doppler and Bearing Tracking (DBT) problem is to achieve a target trajectory using the Doppler and Bearing measurements. The difficulty of DBT problem comes from the nonlinearity terms exposed in the measurement equations. Several techniques were studied to deal with this topic, such as the unscented Kalman filter. Nevertheless, the performance of the filter depends directly on the...

Occurrence of a multiple-points fault in machine operations could result in exhibiting complex fault signatures, which could result in lowering fault diagnosis accuracy. In this study, a multiple-points defect model (MPDM) is proposed which can simulate fault signature’s dynamics for n-points bearing faults. Furthermore, this study identifies that in case of multiple-points fault in the rotary ...
