Classification and Diagnosis of the Rotor Unbalance Parameters via Hybridized EMD and RF
摘要
Todays, using of rotating machineries are very popular in industry centers. Since these machineries are used as moving or dynamic parts of various systems, they encounter different types of faults. If these faults are not fixed properly, they can cause failures with costly problems. One of the major defects in rotating machineries is unbalance.
MethodsIn this research, it is attempted to classification and predict unbalance parameters by Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and Random Forest (RF) algorithm with higher accuracy and simple way. A rotating test rig with four disks capable of placing different weights at different distances from the shaft center has been used in this study. The vibrational results were recorded for each of each test separately. The accelerations of the bearings, obtained from these results, were processed using empirical mode decomposition and then used as inputs for the random forest algorithm.
ResultsAfter training the algorithms comparing the predicted values with the empirical data indicates the effectiveness of these method in determining the location and severity of the fault.
ConclusionThe accuracy of hybridizing EMD and RF show acceptable accuracy in locating of unbalance position in terms of disk number (75% accuracy), mass (82%) and radius of eccentricity (88%).
