The rolling element bearing is among the most frequently encountered component in a rotating machine. Bearing fault can cause machinery breakdown and lead to productivity loss. A bearing fault diagnosis method has been proposed based on multi-scale permutation entropy (MPE) and adaptive neuro fuzzy classifier (ANFC). In this paper, MPE is applied for feature extraction to reduce the complexity of the feature vector. Extracted features are given input to the ANFC for an automated fault diagnosis procedure. Vibration signals are captured for healthy and faulty bearings. Experiment results pointed out that proposed method is a reliable approach for automated fault diagnosis. Thus, this approach has potential in diagnosis of incipient bearing faults.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
