Abstract
Ball bearing is used to provide free rotation around a fixed axis. Various kinds of faults exist in the bearing such as inner race fault, outer race fault and ball race fault. One very effective method to diagnose the bearing fault is vibration signal analysis. Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) has been used for ball-bearing fault diagnosis in mechanical systems using vibration signal analysis. Classification of the ball-bearing fault has always been a challenging task. Various classification schemes such as Extreme learning machine (ELM), K-means Clustering, and Support vector machine (SVM), have been reported in the literature for ball-bearing fault classification. SVM is restricted by multiclass classification efficiency, and ELM is restricted by the longer training. In this paper, the entropy analysis of the wavelet coefficient obtained from the third level decomposition of the residue signal (obtained after subtracting the highest frequency component from the raw signal) has been done for ball-bearing fault classification. A comparative analysis of the wavelet coefficient based on entropy measurement has been presented here. High fault classification accuracy has been achieved using the proposed method for the detection of ball-bearing fault. Shannon entropy, Average Shannon entropy, and Renyi’s entropy are parameters for the justification of the proposed approach. The result shows the best wavelet to be chosen among the available discrete wavelet based on various entropy measurements.
