A novel intelligent method based on wavelet neural network (WNN) was proposed to identify the gear crack degradation in gearbox in this paper. The wavelet packet analysis (WPA) is applied to extract the fault feature of the vibration signal, which is collected by two acceleration sensors mounted on the gearbox along the vertical and horizontal direction. The back-propagation (BP) algorithm is studied and applied to optimize the scale and translation parameters of the Morlet wavelet function, the weight coefficients, threshold values in WNN structure. Four different gear crack damage levels under three different loads and three various motor speeds are presented to obtain the different gear fault modes and gear crack degradation in the experimental system. The results show the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method by the identification and classification of the four gear modes and degradation.

Aiming to better reflect features of machinery vibration signals of high-voltage (HV) circuit breaker (CB), a new method is proposed on the basis of energy-equal entropy of wavelet packet(WP). First of all, three-layer wavelet packet decomposes vibration signal, reconstructing 8 nodes of signals in the 3rd layer. Then, the vector is extracted with energy-equal entropy of reconstructed signals. At last, the simple back-propagation (BP) neural network for fault diagnosis contributes to classification of the characteristic parameter. This technology is the basis of a number of patents and patents pending, which is experimentally demonstrated by the significant improvement of diagnose faults.

Gears are the most essential parts in rotating machinery. Crack fault is one of damage modes most frequently occurring in gears. So, this paper deals with the problem of different crack levels classification. The proposed method is mainly based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and Euclidean distance technique (EDT). First, vibration signal acquired by accelerometer is processed by EMD and intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) are obtained. Then, a correlation coefficient based method is proposed to select the sensitive IMFs which contain main gear fault information. And energy of these IMFs is chosen as the fault feature by comparing with kurtosis and skewness. Finally, Euclidean distances between test sample and four classes trained samples are calculated, and on this basis, fault level classification of the test sample can be made. The proposed approach is tested and validated through a gearbox experiment, in which four crack levels and three kinds of loads are utilized. The results show that the proposed method has high accuracy rates in classifying different crack levels and may be adaptive to different conditions.

<p>Prostate cancer is the century disease that endanger the life of men. The earlier to diagnose the disease, the probability of curing this disease is higher. Therefore, new approaches of diagnosis is required to effectively detect the prostate cancer in early stage compared to the traditional methods. Therefore, WNN is a new adopted approach in prostate cancer diagnosis. Morlet function is used as an activation function of wavelet neural network (WNN) and back propagation (BP) is applied to train the Wavelet network. WNN classifies prostate cancer according to three factors: patient age, PSA level, and prostate volume. WNN performance is evaluated based on the percentage of classification and the computational complexity of several cases. The results of the simulation show that WNN has lower mean squared error (MSE) than the Neural Network (NN).</p>

To solve the problem that it is difficult to identify the cutting rock wall hardness of the roadheader in coal mine, a recognition method of cutting rock wall hardness is proposed based on multi-source data fusion and optimized probabilistic neural network. In this method, all kinds of cutting signals (the vibration signal of cutting arm, the pressure signal of hydraulic cylinders and current signal of cutting motor) are analyzed by wavelet packet to extract the feature vector, and the multi feature signal sample database of rock cutting with different hardness is established. To solve the problems of uncertain spread and complex network structure of probabilistic neural network (PNN), a PNN optimization method based on differential evolution algorithm (DE) and QR decomposition was proposed, and the rock hardness was identified based on multi-source data fusion by optimizing PNN. Then, based on the ground test monitoring data of a heavy longitudinal roadheader, the method is applied to recognize the cutting rock hardness, and compared with other common pattern recognition methods. The experimental results show that the cutting rock hardness recognition based on multi-source data fusion and optimized PNN has higher recognition accuracy, and the overall recognition error is reduced to 6.8%. The recognition of random cutting rock hardness is highly close to the actual. The method provides theoretical basis and technical premise for realizing automatic and intelligent cutting of heading face.

In the technology of motor fault diagnosis, current monitoring methods have become a new trend in motor fault diagnosis. This paper presents a motor fault diagnosis method based on Park vector and wavelet neural network. This method uses the stator current as the object of study. Firstly, it uses Park vector to deal with the stator current and filter out fundamental frequency component, thus the characteristics component of motor broken-bar will be separated from fundamental frequency component; Secondly, it uses five layers wavelet packet decomposition to pick up fault characteristic signal; Finally, we distinguish the fault by BP neural network, and use the simulation software of MATLAB to realize it. The test results show that: This method can detect the existence of motor broken-bar fault, and has a good value in engineering.

Abstract In this paper, implementation of soft sensing technique for measurement of fluid flow rate is reported. The objective of the paper is to design an estimator to physically measure the flow in pipe by analysing the vibration on the walls of the pipe. Commonly used head type flow meter causes obstruction to the flow and measurement would depend on the placement of these sensors. In the proposed technique vibration sensor is bonded on the pipe of liquid flow. It is observed that vibration in the pipe varies with the control action of stem. Single axis accelerometer is used to acquire vibration signal from pipe, signal is passed from the sensor to the system for processing. Basic techniques like filtering, amplification, and Fourier transform are used to process the signal. The obtained transform is trained using neural network algorithm to estimate the fluid flow rate. Artificial neural network is designed using back propagation with artificial bee colony algorithm. Designed estimator after being incorporated in practical setup is subjected to test and the result obtained shows successful estimation of flow rate with the root mean square percentage error of 0.667.

The corpus callosum is the largest white matter structure in the brain, which connects the two cerebral hemispheres and facilitates the inter-hemispheric communication. Abnormal anatomy of corpus callosum has been revealed for various brain related diseases. Being an important biomarker, Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the brain followed by corpus callosum segmentation and feature extraction has found to be important for the diagnosis of many neurological diseases. This paper focuses on classification of T1-weighted mid-sagittal MR images of brain for dementia patients. The corpus callosum is segmented using K-means clustering algorithm and corresponding shape based measurements are used as features. Based on these shape based measurements, a back-propagation neural network is trained separately for male and female dataset. The input data consists of 54 female and 31 male patients. This paper reports classification accuracy up to 92% for female patients and 94% for male patients using neural network classifier.
