Abstract
Electric traction motors in automotive applications work in operational conditions characterized by variable load, rotational speed and other external conditions: this complicates the task of diagnosing bearing defects. The objective of the present work is the development of a diagnostic system for detecting the onset of degradation, isolating the degrading bearing, classifying the type of defect. The developed diagnostic system is based on an hierarchical structure of K-Nearest Neighbours classifiers. The selection of the features from the measured vibrational signals to be used in input by the bearing diagnostic system is done by a wrapper approach based on a Multi-Objective (MO) optimization that integrates a Binary Differential Evolution (BDE) algorithm with the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) classifiers. The developed approach is applied to an experimental dataset. The satisfactory diagnostic performances obtain show the capability of the method, independently from the bearings operational conditions.
