In many industrial situations, bearing failure can lead to serious consequence on the overall process. A bearing's fault progressive character raises the question of finding the right moment to perform replacement at the cost of stopping the machine. The study done in this paper deals with mathematical modeling of the bearing's rolling element with a local defect on its fixed outer ring, based on a mass-spring-damper archetype system. A simulation of the vibratory behavior is performed, and its impact on ball-defect coincidences during shaft rotation under different working conditions is analyzed. The paper suggests applying advanced pre-processing techniques such as Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) and Envelope Analysis (EA) before extracting statistical indicators. Some wellknown time-domain indicators such as the Root Mean Square (RMS), kurtosis, and Energy around Ball Pass Frequency Outerring (EBPFO) are used on the raw and processed signals to highlight the defect evolution. The results carried out show that, applying the EA with SSA on the raw time-series signal at the pre-processing level, before statistical analysis can significantly improve the detection, thus an excellent diagnosis to incipient defects in bearings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
