The shaft, rotor, bearing and gear are the important elements of the rotating machines. Most of the problems in rotating machines are caused due to bearings and shaft. The failure of rotating machine causes production downtime and economic & safety issues. Vibration signal analysis is highly accepted technique in fault diagnosis of rotating machine. For automation of fault diagnosis, machine learning approach has been followed. Machine learning classifies fault based on variation in signatures pattern of the machine. But its effectiveness gets reduced when it is used for multi fault class problem. So in the present work, sound signals are also used along with vibration signals for applying sensor fusion techniques. In sensor fusion, signals from various sensors are fused in three levels such as data fusion, feature fusion and decision level fusion and the fused data sets are used for fault classification using machine learning algorithm. The performance of each technique is studied in detail and compared using classification accuracy. A new method is proposed by combination of fusion techniques to enhance the performance

Fault diagnosis of wind turbines is of great importance to reduce operating and maintenance costs of wind farms. At present, most wind turbine fault diagnosis methods are focused on single faults, and the methods for combined faults usually depend on inefficient manual analysis. Filling the gap, this paper proposes a low-pass filtering empirical wavelet transform (LPFEWT) machine learning based fault diagnosis method for combined fault of wind turbines, which can identify the fault type of wind turbines simply and efficiently without human experience and with low computation costs. In this method, low-pass filtering empirical wavelet transform is proposed to extract fault features from vibration signals, LPFEWT energies are selected to be the inputs of the fault diagnosis model, a grey wolf optimizer hyperparameter tuned support vector machine (SVM) is employed for fault diagnosis. The method is verified on a wind turbine test rig that can simulate shaft misalignment and broken gear tooth faulty conditions. Compared with other models, the proposed model has superiority for this classification problem.

To insure that sampling signal integrity, accuracy and real-time performance can adapt to the development of rotating machine fault diagnosis technology, a master-slave architecture handheld rotating machine fault diagnosis instrument was developed based on S3C2410 ARM IC and TMS320VC5509A DSP IC. It provided an effective method for the field monitoring and diagnosis of the large rotating machine. The whole design idea and the structure of the hardware and the software were systematically introduced. The paper focused on the master-slave architecture design of the hardware, the communication methods between the master and the slave processor, and the signal pretreatment module design. Put into practice, the practicability, reliability and stability of the instrument were confirmed.

SVM(Support Vector Machine) is a new artificial intelligence methodolgy, basing on structural risk mininization principle, which has better generalization than the traditional machine learning and SVM shows powerfulability in learning with limited samples. To solve the problem of lack of engine fault samples, FLS-SVM theory, an improved SVM, which is a method is applied. 10 common engine faults are trained and recognized in the paper.The simulated datas are generated from PW4000-94 engine influence coefficient matrix at cruise, and the results show that the diagnostic accuracy of FLS-SVM is better than LS-SVM.
