An Approach on Fault Detection in Diesel Engine by Using Symmetrical Polar Coordinates and Image Recognition

Abstract

Vibration technique provides useful information in fault detection of diesel engine, bringing significant cost benefits to diesel engine condition monitoring. Usually, time-frequency calculation on vibration signal is so complex that it is difficult to achieve online fault detection. In this paper, a method of fault detection in diesel engine is developed based on symmetrical polar coordinates and image recognition. In this method, time-domain waveform of vibration signal is transformed into snowflake-shaped in mirror symmetry pattern without time-frequency analysis. By the comparison of the geometric features of the snowflake images from different wear conditions of crankshaft bearing in diesel engines, we use centroid position and direction angle of the petal in snowflake image as features to detect the fault. Then, fuzzy c-means (FCM) are used to detect the conditions of the engine according to these features. In order to validate the methods, some experiments have been performed, the experimental results show that the centroid position and direction angle of the petal in snowflake image can reflect the information of different wear conditions in crankshaft bearing, and the fault of crankshaft bearing can be detected accurately. Hence, the method can work as fault detection in diesel engine, which is simple and effective, compared with time-frequency calculation method.

Rotor Fault Diagnosis Method Based on VMD Symmetrical Polar Image and Fuzzy Neural Network

“…The equation of P(i, j, d, θ) is as follows: where i, j = 0, 1, 2, ‧‧‧, N−1, and N is the gray value of the image; x, y are the horizontal and vertical values of coordinate of pixel A in the image; the deviation between pixel A and pixel B in x direction and y direction are Dx and Dy, respectively; d is the distance between A and B; θ is the angle between the connecting line of two pixels and the horizontal line [28]. Generally, θ = 0°, 45°, 90° and 135° [29], as shown in Figure 3. Due to the large amount of data in the gray level co-occurrence matrix, it is generally not used as a feature to distinguish image texture directly, but based on some statistics obtained from its calculation as a feature of image texture classification.…”

“…Taking the interval division of the quantitative indicator “ X 1 Quick ratio” as an example, this paper explains the interval division process of the quantitative indicator. Let the initial cluster number l 0 = 2 , stop threshold ε = 1 E − 5 , fuzzy number ω = 2 , the initial membership matrix U 0 is a 0 matrix of t * m , and the initial cluster center C 0 is a 0 matrix of 1 * t (Zeng et al, 2014). The membership matrix U K = ( 0 . 0005 ⋯ 0 . 1336 ⋮ ⋮ ⋮ 0 . 9965 ⋯ 0 . 0050 ) 4 × 1231 .…”
