In addition to lubricating and cooling, aero-engine lubricating oil is also a transport medium for wear particles generated by mechanical wear. Online identification of the number and shape of wear particles is an important means to directly determine the wear state of rotating parts, but most of the existing research focuses on the identification and counting of wear particles. In this paper, a qualitative classification method of wear particle morphology based on support vector machine is proposed by using the wear particle capacitance signal obtained by the coaxial capacitive sensing network. Firstly, the coaxial capacitive sensing network simulation model is used to obtain the capacitance signals of different shapes of wear particles entering the detection space of different electrode plates. In addition, a variety of intelligent optimization algorithms are used to optimize the relevant parameters of the support vector machine (SVM) model in order to improve the classification accuracy. By using the processed data and optimized parameters, a SVM-based qualitative classification model for wear particles is established. Finally, the validity of the classification model is verified by real wear particles of different sizes. The simulation and experimental results show that the qualitative classification of different wear particle morphologies can be achieved by using the coaxial capacitive sensing network signal and the SVM model.
