    New criteria for wrapper feature selection to enhance bearing fault classification
    (SAGE, 2023) Sahraoui, Mohammed Amine; Rahmoune, Chemseddine; Meddour, Ikhlas; Bettahar, Toufik; Zair, Mohamed
    Classification is a critical task in many fields, including signal processing and data analysis. The accuracy and stability of classification results can be improved by selecting the most relevant features from the data. In this paper, a new criterion for feature selection using wrapper method is proposed, which is based on the evaluation of the classification results according to the accuracy and stability (standard deviation) of each class and the number of selected features. The pro- posed method is evaluated using Random Forest (RF) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms on a benchmark dataset. Results show that the proposed method outperforms classical feature selection methods in terms of accuracy and stability of classification results, especially for the difficult-to-classify combined damage class. This study demon- strates the effectiveness of the proposed new wrapper feature selection criterion to improve the performance of classifi- cation algorithms with higher stability (STD: C1 = 0.5, C2 = 0.8, C3 = 0.6, C4 = 1.8) and better accuracy (average C1 = 98.5%, C2 = 96.6%, C3 = 9.5%, C4 = 93) for the both; the statoric current and the vibration signal compared to other techniques. Machine learning methods had proven their efficiency in time-varying machines fault diagnosis when taking vibration signals and statoric currents extracted features as inputs. However, the use of the both demonstrated a higher robustness and a remarkable superiority.

    Bearing fault detection under time-varying speed based on empirical wavelet transform, cultural clan-based optimization algorithm, and random forest classifier
    (SAGE Publications, 2021) Moussaoui, Imane; Rahmoune, Chemseddine; Zair, Mohamed; Benazzouz, Djamel
    Bearings are massively utilized in industries of nowadays due to their huge importance. Nevertheless, their defects can heavily affect the machines performance. Therefore, many researchers are working on bearing fault detection and classification; however, most of the works are carried out under constant speed conditions, while bearings usually operate under varying speed conditions making the task more challenging. In this paper, we propose a new method for bearing condition monitoring under time-varying speed that is able to detect the fault efficiently from the vibration signatures. First, the vibration signal is processed with the Empirical Wavelet Transform to extract the AM-FM modes. Next, time domain features are calculated from each mode. Then, the features’ set is reduced using the Cultural Clan-based optimization algorithm by removing the redundant and unimportant parameters that may mislead the classification. Finally, an ensemble learning algorithm “Random Forest” is used to train a model able to classify the fault based on the selected features. The proposed method was tested on a time-varying real dataset consisting of three different bearing health states: healthy, outer race defect, and inner race defect. The obtained results indicate the ability of our proposed method to handle the speed variability issue in bearing fault detection with high efficiency
