Abstract
Faults in a rotor-bearing system due to bearings and unbalance have been classified using support vector machines (SVMs). Vibration signals on a rotor-bearing system were measured simultaneously at five different rotating speeds using seven transducers. The most sensitive feature of the vibration signals has been determined using compensation distance evaluation technique. Multi-class SVMs classification algorithm was then implemented for classification of the faults by considering SVMs created by the possible combinations of the most two sensitive features for each type of fault. By using optimal SVM parameters, the effective location of transducer among seven transducers for best classification of the faults has been investigated and found that any transducer provides a classification of 75% or better and this classification rate increases when more transducers are considered. This paper provides a robust SVM based technique using only time domain data without any additional preprocessing for classifying bearing and unbalance faults.
