| Popis: | Bearing faults can cause heavy disruptions in machinery operation, which is why their reliable diagnosis is crucial. While current research into bearing fault analysis focuses on analyzing vibration data under constant working conditions, it is important to consider the challenges that arise when machinery runs at variable speeds, which is usually the case. This article proposes a multistage classifier for diagnosing bearings under time-variable conditions. We validate our method using vibration signals from five bearing health states, including a combined fault case. Our approach involves decomposing the signals using Empirical Wavelet Transform and computing temporal and frequency domain attributes. We use the Expectation-Maximization Gaussian mixture model for optimization concerns to identify relevant parameters and train the Random Forest classifier with the selected features. Our method, evaluated using the Polygon Area Metric, has demonstrated high effectiveness in diagnosing bearings under time-variable conditions. Our approach offers a promising solution that efficiently addresses speed variability and combined fault recognition issues. |
