Enhanced Fault Diagnosis of Rolling Bearings with Noise Filtering and Neural Networks
摘要
Accurate fault detection in mechanical components is essential to minimize equipment replacement costs, avoid production downtime, and reduce the risk of human injury. However, traditional fault detection methods often fall short in achieving reliable and precise identification of motor faults in rotating machines. This study aims to develop an intelligent classification model for the effective detection of roller bearing faults.
MethodsThe proposed approach integrates Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD), Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and a Bi-directional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) neural network. EEMD is first applied to decompose noisy vibration signals into Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs), and relevant IMFs are selected based on their correlation with the original signal. PCA is then employed for dimensionality reduction, retaining only essential features from five different fault types. Finally, a Bi-LSTM model is trained on the reduced features to learn dynamic patterns for fault classification.
ResultsThe proposed model effectively distinguishes between five types of roller bearing faults and demonstrates superior performance compared to models trained on raw features and several state-of-the-art methods. The evaluation based on Precision, Recall, F1 Score, and Accuracy confirms that the ensemble approach enhances classification accuracy and robustness.
ConclusionCombining EEMD, PCA, and Bi-LSTM provides an efficient and reliable framework for roller bearing fault classification. The intelligent system outperforms conventional models in accuracy and adaptability, offering a promising solution for real-time fault diagnosis in rotating machinery.
