Vibration analysis has proven to be the most effective method for machine condition monitoring to date. Various effective signal analysis methods to analyze and extract fault signature that embedded in the raw vibration signals have been introduced in the past few decades such as fast Fourier transform (FFT), short time Fourier transform (STFT), wavelets analysis, empirical mode decomposition (EMD), Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT), etc. however, these is still a need for human to interpret vibration signature of faults and it is regarded as one of the major challenge in vibration condition monitoring. Thus, most recent researches in vibration condition monitoring revolved around using Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to automate machinery faults detection and diagnosis. The most recent literatures in this area show that researches are mainly focus on using machine learning techniques for data fusion, features fusion, and also decisions fusion in order to achieve a higher accuracy of decision making in vibration condition monitoring. This paper provides a review on the most recent development in vibration signal analysis methods as well as the AI techniques used for automated decision making in vibration condition monitoring in the past two years.

This paper presents a noise reduction technique for vibration signal analysis in rolling bearings, based on local geometric projection (LGP). LGP is a non-linear filtering technique that reconstructs one dimensional time series in a high-dimensional phase space using time-delayed coordinates, based on the Takens embedding theorem. From the neighborhood of each point in the phase space, where a neighbor is defined as a local subspace of the whole phase space, the best subspace to which the point will be orthogonally projected is identified. Since the signal subspace is formed by the most significant eigen-directions of the neighborhood, while the less significant ones define the noise subspace, the noise can be reduced by converting the points onto the subspace spanned by those significant eigen-directions back to a new, one-dimensional time series. Improvement on signal-to-noise ratio enabled by LGP is first evaluated using a chaotic system and an analytically formulated synthetic signal. Then analysis of bearing vibration signals is carried out as a case study. The LGP-based technique is shown to be effective in reducing noise and enhancing extraction of weak, defect-related features, as manifested by the multifractal spectrum from the signal.

Vibration signal analysis is a common tool to detect bearing condition. Effective methods of vibration signal analysis should extract useful information for bearing condition monitoring and fault diagnosis. Spectral kurtosis (SK) represents one valuable tool for these purposes. The aim of this paper is to study the relationship between bearing clearance and bearing vibration frequencies based on SK method. It also reveals the effect of the bearing clearance on the bearing vibration characteristic frequencies This enables adjustment of bearing clearance in situ, which could significantly affect the performance of the bearings. Furthermore, the application of the proposed method using SK on the measured data offers useful information for predicting bearing clearance change. Bearing vibration data recorded at various clearance settings on a floating and a fixed bearing mounted on a shaft are the basis of this study
