A viscoelastic sandwich structure is widely used in mechanical equipment, but therein viscoelastic layers inevitably suffer from aging which changes the dynamic characteristics of the structure and influences the whole performance of the equipment. Hence, accurate and automatic aging state recognition of the viscoelastic sandwich structure is very significant to monitor structural health state and guarantee equipment operating reliably. To fulfill this task, by analyzing the sensor-based vibration response signals, a novel aging state recognition approach of the viscoelastic sandwich structure based on permutation entropy of dual-tree complex wavelet packet transform and generalized Chebyshev support vector machine is proposed in this article. To extract effective aging feature information, the measured nonlinear and non-stationary vibration response signals are processed by dual-tree complex wavelet packet transform, and multiple permutation entropy features are extracted from the frequency-band signals to reflect structural aging states. For accurate and automatic aging state classification, generalized Chebyshev kernel is introduced, and multi-class generalized Chebyshev support vector machine is developed to classify structural aging states. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, a typical viscoelastic sandwich structure is designed and fabricated, and various structural aging states are created through the hot oxygen–accelerated aging of viscoelastic layers. The testing results show that the proposed method can recognize the different structural aging states accurately and automatically. In addition, the superiority of dual-tree complex wavelet packet transform in processing vibration response signals and the performance of generalized Chebyshev support vector machine in classifying structural aging states are respectively validated by comparing with the commonly used methods.

Achieving a precise fault diagnosis for rolling bearings under variable conditions is a problematic challenge. In order to enhance the classification and achieves a higher precision for diagnosing rolling bearing degradation, a hybrid method is proposed. The method combines wavelet packet transform, singular value decomposition and support vector machine. The first step of the method is the decomposition of the signal using wavelet packet transform and then instantaneous amplitudes and energy are computed for each component. The Second step is to apply the singular value decomposition to the matrix constructed by the instantaneous amplitudes and energy in order to reduce the matrix dimension and obtaining the fault feature unaffected by the operating condition. The features extracted by singular value decomposition are then used as an input to the support vector machine in order to recognize the fault mode of rolling bearings. The method is applied to a bearing with faults created using electro-discharge machining under laboratory conditions. Test results show that the proposed methodology is effective to classify rolling bearing faults with high accuracy.

In this study, an analysis was conducted by using discrete wavelet packet transform (DWPT) and support vector machine (SVM) methods to determine undamaged and cracked plates. The pendulum was used to land equal impacts on plates in this experimental study. Sounds, which emerge from plates as a result of the impacts applied to undamaged and cracked plates, are sound signals used in the analysis and DWPT of these sound signals were obtained with 128 decompositions for feature extraction. The first four components, reflecting the characteristics of undamaged and cracked plates within these 128 components, were selected for enhancing the performance of the classifier and energy values were used as feature vectors. In the study, the SVM model was created by selecting appropriate C and γ parameters for the classifier. Undamaged and cracked plates were seen to be successfully identified by an analysis of the training and testing phases. Undamaged and cracked statuses of the plates that are undamaged and have the analysis had identified different cracks. The biggest advantage of this analysis method used is that it is high-precision, is relatively low in cost regarding experimental equipment and requires hardware.
