| Popis: | In order to improve the effectiveness of the acoustic emission (AE) technique in rail health monitoring, a novel genetic clustering technique is proposed to categorize data automatically, integrating density-based clustering and t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding. A primary problem in optimizing density-based clustering is to accommodate noise, for it explicitly computes the noise subset. Thus, the generalized silhouette index is proposed as a profitable objective to properly tackle noise and arbitrary shapes. The proposed method is initially testified in ten benchmark datasets, which manifests a superiority in handling irregular shape datasets and noise interference. Furthermore, the proposed method is applied in real-world AE signals acquired from tensile tests. The clustering results elucidated that it outperforms the comparative methods in categorizing the fused AE features and remains robust with increasing railway noise interference. In conclusion, the proposed method is validated to discover intrinsic groups of AE data and analyze potential rail health stages. |
