    Computer numerical control machine tool wear monitoring through a data-driven approach
    (SAGE, 2024) Gougam, Fawzi; Afia, Adel; Ait Chikh, Mohamed Abdessamed; Touzout, Walid; Rahmoune, Chemseddine; Benazzouz, Djamel
    The susceptibility of tools in Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines makes them the most vulnerable elements in milling processes. The final product quality and the operations safety are directly influenced by the wear condition. To address this issue, the present paper introduces a hybrid approach incorporating feature extraction and optimized machine learning algorithms for tool wear prediction. The approach involves extracting a set of features from time-series signals obtained during the milling processes. These features allow the capture of valuable characteristics relating to the dynamic signal behavior. Subsequently, a feature selection process is proposed, employing Relief and intersection feature ranks. This step automatically identifies and selects the most pertinent features. Finally, an optimized support vector machine for regression (OSVR) is employed to predict the evolution of wear in machining tool cuts. The proposed method’s effectiveness is validated from three milling tool wear experiments. This validation includes comparative results with the Linear Regression (LR), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), CNN-ResNet50, and Support Vector Regression (SVR) methods

    Intelligent fault classification of air compressors using Harris hawks optimization and machine learning algorithms
    (SAGE, 2024) Afia, Adel; Gougam, Fawzi; Rahmoune, Chemseddine; Touzout, Walid; Ouelmokhtar, Hand; Benazzouz, Djamel
    Due to their complexity and often harsh working environment, air compressors are inevitably exposed to a variety of faults and defects during their operation. Thus, condition monitoring is critically required for early fault recognition and detection to avoid any type industrial failures. In this paper, an intelligent algorithm for reciprocating air compressor fault diagnosis is developed using real-time acoustic signals acquired from an air compressor with one healthy and seven different faulty states such as leakage inlet valve (LIV), leakage outlet valve (LOV), non-return valve (NRV), piston ring, flywheel, rider-belt and bearing defects. The proposed algorithm mainly consists of three steps: feature extraction, selection, and classification. For feature extraction, experimental acoustic signals are decomposed using maximal overlap discrete wavelet packet transform (MODWPT) by six levels into 64 wavelet coefficients (nodes). Thereafter, time domain features are calculated for each node to build each air compressor’s health state feature matrix. Each feature matrix dimension is reduced by selecting the most useful features using Harris hawks optimization (HHO) in the feature selection step. Finally, for feature classification, selected features are used as inputs for random forest (RF), ensemble tree (ET) and K-nearest neighbors (KNN) to detect, identify, and classify the compressor health states with high classification accuracy. Comparative studies with several feature extraction and selection methods prove the proposed approach’s efficiency in detecting, identifying, and classifying all air compressor faults.

    Bearing faults classification using a new approach of signal processing combined with machine learning algorithms
    (Springer Nature, 2024) Gougam, Fawzi; Afia, Adel; Soualhi, Abdenour; Touzout, Walid; Rahmoune, Chemseddine; Benazzouz, Djamel
    Vibration analysis plays a crucial role in fault and abnormality diagnosis in various mechanical systems. However, efficient vibration signal processing is required for valuable diagnosis and hidden patterns’ detection and identification. Hence, the present paper explores the application of a robust signal processing method called maximal overlap discrete wavelet packet transform (MODWPT) that supports multiresolution analysis, allowing for the examination of signal details at different scales. This capability is valuable for identifying faults that may manifest at different frequency ranges. MODWPT is combined with covariance and eigenvalues to signal reconstruction. After that, health indicators are specifically applied on the reconstructed vibration signal for feature extraction. The proposed approach was carried out on an experimental test rig where the obtained results demonstrate its effectiveness through confusion matrix analysis of machine learning tools. The ensemble tree model gives more accurate results (accuracy and stability) of bearing faults classification and efficiently identify potential failures and anomalies in mechanical equipment.

    Hybridization of time synchronous averaging, singular value decomposition, and adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system for multi-fault bearing diagnosis
    (Sage journals, 2020) Touzout, Walid; Benazzouz, Djamel; Gougam, Fawzi; Afia, Adel; Rahmoune, Chemseddine
    Bearing diagnosis has attracted considerable research interest; thus, researchers have developed several signal processing techniques using vibration analysis to monitor the rotating machinery’s conditions. In practical engineering, features extraction with most relevant information from experimental vibration signals under variable operation conditions is still regarded as the most critical concern. Therefore, actual works focus on combining Time Domain Features (TDFs) with decomposition techniques to obtain accurate results for defect detection, identification, and classification. In this paper, a new hybrid method is proposed, which is based on Time Synchronous Averaging (TSA), TDFs, and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) for the feature extraction, then the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) which gathers the advantages of both neural networks and fuzzy logic is applied for the classification process. First, TSA is used to reduce noises in the vibration signal by extracting the periodic waveforms from the disturbed data; thereafter, TDFs are applied on each synchronous signal to construct a feature matrix; afterwards, SVD is performed on the obtained matrices to remove the instability of statistical values and select the most stable vectors. Finally, ANFIS is implemented to provide a powerful automatic tool for features classification.

    Unmanned surface vehicle energy consumption modelling under various realistic disturbances integrated into simulation environment
    (Elsevier, 2021) Touzout, Walid; Benmoussa, Yahia; Benazzouz, Djamel; Moreac, Erwan; Diguet, Jean-Philippe
    Energy consumption estimation and management of the maritime Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV) is an important issue to deal with energy minimization techniques such as path planning, tasks scheduling, etc. In this paper, we introduce the energy consumption parameter in USV simulation through three contributions: 1) An analytic USV's energy consumption model is developed based on the three-degrees-of-freedom dynamic model of surface vessels. 2) A reverse engineering approach is proposed to identify the previously used dynamic model parameters based on a set of scenarios executed within a recent simulation environment. 3) The simulator engine is enriched with the consumption modelling tools such that the power absorbed by the USV is instantaneously calculated and returned; thus, the required energy of any predefined scenario is available as a new simulation result
