In this paper, a comparison of signal analysis techniques for the diagnostics of rolling element bearings is carried out. Specifically, the comparison is performed in terms of fault detection, diagnosis and prognosis techniques with regards to the first rolling element bearing dataset released by NASA IMS Center in 2014. As for fault detection, it is obtained that RMS value, Kurtosis and Detectivity, as statistical parameters, are able to properly detect the arising of the fault on the defective bearings. Then, several signal processing techniques, such as deterministic/random signal separation, time-frequency and cyclostationary analyses are applied to perform fault diagnosis. Among these techniques, it is found that the combination of Cepstrum Pre-Whitening and Squared Envelope Spectrum, and Improved Envelope Spectrum, allow the faults to be correctly identified on specific bearing components. Finally, the Correlation, Monotonicity and Robustness of the previous statistical parameters are computed to identify the most accurate tools for bearing fault prognosis.

Abstract

In this paper, a comparison of signal analysis techniques for the diagnostics of rolling element bearings is carried out. Specifically, the comparison is performed in terms of fault detection, diagnosis and prognosis techniques with regards to the first rolling element bearing dataset released by NASA IMS Center in 2014. As for fault detection, it is obtained that RMS value, Kurtosis and Detectivity, as statistical parameters, are able to properly detect the arising of the fault on the defective bearings. Then, several signal processing techniques, such as deterministic/random signal separation, time-frequency and cyclostationary analyses are applied to perform fault diagnosis. Among these techniques, it is found that the combination of Cepstrum Pre-Whitening and Squared Envelope Spectrum, and Improved Envelope Spectrum, allow the faults to be correctly identified on specific bearing components. Finally, the Correlation, Monotonicity and Robustness of the previous statistical parameters are computed to identify the most accurate tools for bearing fault prognosis.
