Item Classical and Quantum SVM for Electromyography-Based Myopathy Detection: A Comparative Exploration(Sciendo, 2025) Hammachi, Radhouane; Messaoudi, Noureddine; Belkacem, Samia; Pasetto, Edoardo; Delilbasic, AmerIntroduction: Electromyography (EMG) analysis is one of the most fundamental approaches for diagnosing neuromuscular diseases. Current advancements in technology have the potential to improve diagnosis accuracy using artificial intelligence (AI). Quantum machine learning (QML), while still in its early stages, offers promising potential for various medical applications, but its effectiveness in real-world diagnostic tasks needs further exploration. Thus, the aim of this study is to employ both quantum and classical support vector machines (SVMs) to classify EMG signals into two classes, healthy and myopathy, and compare their performance. Methods: Various approaches were tested; classical SVM and quantum-kernel-based SVM, both with manually extracted features, and convolutional neural network (CNN)-based deep features extraction techniques. This allows for an evaluation of the strengths and limitations of this new technology, acknowledging the potential of both classical and quantum methods. Results: The obtained results showed that the proposed quantum methods yielded promising outcomes and comparable to classical methods. Particularly, the competitive results of the quantum SVM (QSVM) with the CNN-based deep feature extraction approach, which delivered a high training and testing accuracies of up to 96.7% and 85.1%, respectively. Conclusion: These findings encourages the necessity for more advanced QML research, particularly in medical applications as quantum technology progressesItem Classical and Quantum SVM for Electromyography-Based Myopathy Detection: A Comparative Exploration(Polish Society of Medical Physics, 2025) Hammachi, Radhouane; Messaoudi, Noureddine; Belkacem, Samia; Pasetto, Edoardo; Delilbasic, AmerIntroduction: Electromyography (EMG) analysis is one of the most fundamental approaches for diagnosing neuromuscular diseases.

Due to the complex nature of EMG signals, different approaches, based on artificial intelligence and machine learning, were developed for EMG signal analysis and NMD diagnosis. Considering the critical role of maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) as a fundamental metric in assessing muscle fatigue, in this work, classification of simulated surface EMG (sEMG) into MVC levels is performed. Unlike previous studies, which focus primarily on binary classification of fatigue and non-fatigue states, our approach employs a deep convolutional neural network for the classification of sEMG signals into ten MVC levels, where the model outputs categorical predictions, with each class representing a specific MVC level. sEMG signals were generated using a computer muscle model that we developed using MATLAB, which allows for greater control over variability, ensuring robustness and generalizability of the model. The obtained results demonstrate that the model achieved high performance in differentiating between the ten classes (MVC levels), with an accuracy, F1-score, recall, and precision of 88.88%, 88.75%, 88.80% and 88.86%, respectively. These findings reveal that the model can accurately differentiate across MVC levels, indicating a potential method for accurate assessment of muscle fatigue intensity.Item Crack growth diagnostic of ball bearing using vibration analysis(Sciendo, 2022) Belaid, S.; Lecheb, Samir; Chelil, A.; Mechakra, H.; Safi, Brahim; Kebir, H.It is known that supported ball bearings have great effects on the vibrations of the gear transmission system, above in all the presence of local faults as well as the crack growths. For this purpose, this paper focuses on shock and vibration crack growth diagnostic of ball bearing using vibration analysis. Our work is devoted first to a study the static behaviour of the ball bearing by determining the stress, strain and displacement, then its dynamic behaviour by determining the first four natural frequencies. Secondly, a dynamic analysis study of the bearing was carried with defects as a function of crack size and location. The obtained results clearly show that the natural frequencies decrease in a non-linear way with the growth of the length of the crack, on the other hand the stress increases with the presence of the singular points of the crack. Finally, this residual decrease in natural frequencies can be used as an indicator of the state of failure, as well as a parameter used for the diagnosis and screening, and to highlight the fatigue life of the bearingItem Rolling bearing fault feature selection based on standard deviation and random forest classifier using vibration signals(SAGE, 2023) Moussaoui, Imane; Rahmoune, Chemseddine; Benazzouz, DjamelThe precise identification of faults is vital for ensuring the reliability of the bearing’s performance, and thus, the functionality of rotary machinery. The focus of our study is on the role that feature selection plays in improving the accuracy of predictive models used for diagnosis. The study combined the Standard Deviation (STD) parameter with the Random Forest (RF) classifier to select relevant features from vibration signals obtained from bearings operating under various conditions. We utilized three databases with different bearings’ health states operating under distinct conditions. The results of the study were promising, indicating that the proposed method was not only effective but also consistent, even under time-varying conditionsItem Artificial Neuron Network Based Faults Detection and Localization in the High Voltage Transmission Lines with Mho Distance Relay(IETA, 2020) Boumedine, Mohamed Said; Khodja, Djalal Eddine; Chakroune, SalimThis study offers the opportunity to extend the functioning of the most advanced protection systems. The faults which can arise on the power transmission lines are numerous and varied: Short-circuit; Overvoltage; Overloads, etc. In the context of short circuits, the conventional sensor as the Mho distance relay also known as the admittance relay is generally used. This relay will be discussed later in this study. By taking into account the preventive risks of the Mho relay and discover the new techniques of artificial intelligence, namely the neural network which can contribute to the precise and rapid detection of all types of short-circuit faults. The results of the simulation tests demonstrate the effectiveness of the methods proposed for the automatic diagnosis of faults.Item Artificial neuron network based faults detection and localization in the high voltage transmission lines with MHO distance relay(International Information and Engineering Technology Association, 2020) B.M, Said; K.D., Eddine; C., SalimThis study offers the opportunity to extend the functioning of the most advanced protection systems.

As a result, vibration signals have nonlinear and non-stationary behavior, and the fault signature is always buried in overwhelming and interfering contents, especially in the early stages. As one of the most powerful non-stationary signal processing techniques, Kurtogram has been widely used to detect gear failure. Usually, vibration signals contain a relatively strong non-Gaussian noise which makes the defective frequencies non-dominant in the spectrum compared to the discrete components, which reduce the performance of the above method. Autogram is a new sophisticated enhancement of the conventional Kurtogram. The modern approach decomposes the data signal by Maximal Overlap Discrete Wavelet Packet Transform into frequency bands and central frequencies called nodes. Subsequently, the unbiased autocorrelation of the squared envelope for each node is computed to select the node with the highest kurtosis value. Finally, Fourier transform is applied to that squared envelope to extract the fault signature. In this article, the proposed method is tested and compared to Fast Kurtogram for gearbox fault diagnosis using experimental vibration signals. The experimental results improve the detectability of the proposed method and affirm its effectivenessItem Bearing damage detection and diagnosis by multi-scale PCA and Power quality distribution of rotating machinery(2011) Baiche, Karim; Zelmat, M.; Lachouri, A.Item Performance and analysis of concrete in sewer environment : anisotropy of damage(2011) Oualit, M.; Jauberthie, R.; Melinge, Y.; Abadlia, Mohamed TaharThe costs associated with the provision and maintenance of drinking water and wastewater infrastructure represents a significant financial demand worldwide. Maintenance costs are disproportionately high, indicating a lack of adequate durability. The aim of this paper is to study the degradation mode and the responsible factors of deterioration concrete pipe, used in the sewage’s city of Rennes (France). Thus, samples taken from different areas of the pipe (Raft, medium and roof) were analyzed using investigation methods in order to illustrate the internal and external rate of damage, caused by effluents and ground. In addition, chemical and mineralogical changes recorded were identified using scanning electron micrographs (SEM). In this research program, chemical and mechanical studies were performed by measuring the compressive and splitting tensile strengths. A phenolphthalein indicator solution is applied to a concrete specimen on a fresh fracture surface to determine the corrosion of steel reinforcement and the diseases advancement (pathologies depth). This study clearly shows the important anisotropy of both, internal and external damage. Finally, recommendations are proposed in line with the environment and possible approaches to sustainability assessment are also imposed
