Gear fault diagnosis method based on wavelet-packet independent component analysis and support vector machine with kernel function fusion:

Aiming at the problem of gear fault diagnosis, in order to effectively extract the features and improve the accuracy of gear fault diagnosis, the method based on wavelet-packet independent component analysis and support vector machine with kernel function fusion is proposed in this research. The proposed wavelet-packet independent component analysis feature extraction method can effectively combine the advantages of wavelet packet and independent component analysis methods and acquire more comprehensive feature information. Besides, the proposed kernel-function-fusion support vector machine can well integrate the advantage characteristics of each kernel function. The energy features of wavelet packet coefficients are acquired with four-layer wavelet packet decomposition and then the extracted energy features are further optimized by the independent component analysis method. The kernel-function-fusion support vector machine method is adopted to realize the gear fault diagnosis. Two kernel function models ...
