Abstract

Condition monitoring of rotating machinery has attracted more and more attention in recent years in order to reduce the unnecessary breakdowns of components such as bearings and gears which suffer frequently from failures. Vibration based approaches are the most commonly used techniques to the condition monitoring tasks. In this paper, we propose a bearing fault detection scheme based on support vector machine as a classification method and binary particle swarm optimization algorithm (BPSO) based on maximal class separability as a feature selection method. In order to maximize the class separability, regularized Fisher’s criterion is used as a fitness function in the proposed BPSO algorithm. This approach was evaluated using vibration data of bearing in healthy and faulty conditions. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
