Condition monitoring system monitors the system degradation and it identifies common failure modes. Several sensor signals are available for monitoring the changes in system components. Vibration signal is one of the most extensively used technique for monitoring rotating components as it identifies faults before the system fails. Early fault detection is the significant factor for condition monitoring, where Acoustic Emission ( AE ) sensor signals have been applied for early fault detection due to their high sensitivity and high frequency. In this paper, vibration and acoustic emission signals are acquired under various simulated gear and bearing fault conditions from the synchromesh gearbox. Then the statistical features are extracted from vibration and AE signals and then the prominent features are selected using J48 decision tree algorithm respectively. The best features from the vibration and AE signals are then fused using feature-level fusion strategy and it is classified using Support Vector Machine ( SVM ) and Proximal Support Vector Machine ( PSVM ) classifiers and it is compared with individual signals for fault diagnosis of the synchromesh gearbox. From the experiments, it is observed that the performance of the fault diagnosis system has been improved for the proposed feature level fusion technique compared to the performance of unfused vibration and AE feature sets.

To implement the tool condition monitoring system in a metal cutting process, it is necessary to have sensors which will be able to detect the tool conditions to initiate remedial action. There are different signals for monitoring the cutting process which may require different sensors and signal processing techniques. Each of these signals is capable of providing information about the process at different reliability level. To arrive a good, reliable and robust decision, it is necessary to integrate the features of the different signals captured by the sensors. In this paper, an attempt is made to fuse the features of acoustic emission and vibration signals captured in a precision high speed machining center for monitoring the tool conditions. Tool conditions are classified using machine learning classifiers. The classification efficiency of machine learning algorithms are studied in time-domain, frequencydomain and time-frequency domain by feature level fusion of features extracted from vibration and acoustic emission signature.

Aiming at inaccurately and inefficiently fault feature of early crack by the vibration method in the environment of strong noise, the acoustic emission signal (AE) is used to cracks defect with the advantages of sensitive. The Pseudo Wigner-Ville Distribution (PWVD) is introduced to extract the amplitude and frequency of AE signal as feature vector, which combines with support vector machine (SVM) to achieve prediction and diagnosis of fault types of different rotor cracks depth. It is shown by experiment that the proposed method have the features of obvious frequency characteristic, early prediction of fault time, accurate and reliable diagnosis results of early cracks fault diagnosis.

Background: In order to improve the efficiency of fault treatment of mining motor, the method of model construction is used to construct the type of kernel function based on the principle of vector machine classification and the optimization method of parameters. Methodology: One-to-many algorithm is used to establish two kinds of support vector machine models for fault diagnosis of motor rotor of crusher. One of them is to obtain the optimal parameters C and g based on the input samples of the instantaneous power fault characteristic data of some motor rotors which have not been processed by rough sets. Patents on machine learning have also shows their practical usefulness in the selction of the feature for fault detection. Results: The results show that the instantaneous power fault feature extracted from the rotor of the crusher motor is obtained by the cross validation method of grid search k-weights (where k is 3) and the final data of the applied Gauss radial basis penalty parameter C and the nuclear parameter g are obtained. Conclusion: The model established by the optimal parameters is used to classify and diagnose the sample of instantaneous power fault characteristic measurement of motor rotor. Therefore, the classification accuracy of the sample data processed by rough set is higher.
