Item Condition Monitoring of Misaligned Rotor System Using Acoustic Sensor by Response Surface Methodology(ASME, 2022) Jalan, Arun Kumar; Marathe, AmolMisalignment is among the most common causes of vibrations in rotary machinery. Modern machinery is complicated and installing a sensor might be tricky at times. As a result, noncontact type sensors are critical in such situations. The present study investigates the influence of combinations between speed, load, and fault severity upon system vibration by employing acoustic sensor. Although acoustic sensor is used in angular fault diagnosis, however, this is the first attempt to combine the noncontact type of sensor and response surface methodology (RSM) to study the influence of misalignment upon system vibration and the factors that induce system vibrations in a misaligned rotor system. To investigate the effect of these interactions on system performance, RSM with root-mean-square (RMS) as a response factor is used. Design of experiments is used to prepare experiments, while analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to analyze the results. Speed has a significant impact on RMS value in both parallel and angular types of misalignments and it severely affects the system's performance. According to the RSM findings, a change in load influences vibration amplitude. With increasing defect severity, the change in RMS value was not particularly significant. The outcome of RSM using acoustic sensor was found well aligned with the conclusion drawn using RSM study with vibrational sensor.Item Ensemble Subspace Discriminant Classifiers for Misalignment Fault Classification Using Vibro-acoustic Sensor Data Fusion(Springer, 2022-05) Jalan, Arun KumarMisalignment is one of the major reasons for rotating machinery breakdown. Conventionally, misalignment diagnosis is done by the occurrence of a strong peak at 2x running speed is widely accepted.Item Support Vector Machine for Misalignment Fault Classification Under Different Loading Conditions Using Vibro-Acoustic Sensor Data Fusion(Springer, 2022-01) Jalan, Arun Kumar; Marathe, AmolIn condition monitoring, accurate fault identification is an essential task for designing a proper maintenance strategy. Misalignment is one of the main faults in rotary machinery, because 70% of the failure occurs due to misalignment. Conventionally, the diagnosis of misalignment is carried out through vibration measurements. Especially, the presence of strong 2x vibration peak is generally accepted. Both angular and parallel misalignment shows peak at 2x, therefore, distinguishing misalignment type by using vibration signals alone is a difficult activity. This paper discusses classification of misalignment i.e., angular and parallel by using a diagnostic medium such as the acoustic emission and the rotor vibration signal. Vibro-acoustic sensors are used to collect data from the misaligned rotor system at two different loading, three different speed and three defect severity conditions. Time domain features are extracted and graded according to their significance using t test (One-way ANOVA) technique. Extracted features are used to train different algorithms. The outcome obtained using support vector machine (SVM) is 100% accurate. Vibro-acoustic sensor data fusion technique is employed to classify various forms of misalignment under different operating conditions. This work also intended to explore using a small amount of training data using different algorithms. The proposed method outperforms fault classification using vibration signal and acoustic signal separately.Item Classification of Ball Bearing Faults Using Vibro-Acoustic Sensor Data Fusion(Springer, 2019-04) Jalan, Arun KumarThis paper presents the novel technique for fault diagnosis of bearing by fusion of two different sensors: Vibration based and acoustic emission-based sensor. The diagnosis process involves the following steps: Data Acquisition and signal processing, Feature extraction, Classification of features, High-level data fusion and Decision making. Experiments are carried out upon test bearings with a fusion of sensors to obtain signals in time domain. Then, signal indicators for each signal have been calculated. Classifier called K-nearest neighbor (KNN) has been used for classification of fault conditions. Then, high-level sensor fusion was carried out to gain useful data for fault classification. The decision-making step allows understanding that vibration-based sensors are helpful in detecting inner race and outer race defect whereas the acoustic-based sensor is more useful for ball defects detection. These studies based on fusion helps to detect all the faults of rolling bearing at an early stage.
