Mechanical Fault Diagnosis Using Support Vector Machine
摘要
The Support Vector Machine (SVM) is a machine learning algorithm based on the Statistical Learning Theory ( SLT) , which can get good classification effects even with a few learning samples. SVM represents a new approach to pattern classification and has been shown to be particularly successful in many fields such as image identification and face recognition. It also provides us with a new method to develop intelligent fault diagnosis. This paper presents a SVM-based approach for fault diagnosis of rolling bearings. Experimentation with vibration signals of bearings is conducted. The vibration signals acquired from the bearings are used directly in the calculating without the preprocessing of extracting its features. Compared with the methods based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN), the SVM-based meth-od has desirable advantages. It is applicable for on-line diagnosis of mechanical systems.
