    Classical and Quantum SVM for Electromyography-Based Myopathy Detection: A Comparative Exploration
    (Sciendo, 2025) Hammachi, Radhouane; Messaoudi, Noureddine; Belkacem, Samia; Pasetto, Edoardo; Delilbasic, Amer
    Introduction: 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 progresses

    Deep Learning Classification of Simulated Surface EMG Signals across Maximum Voluntary Contraction Levels
    (Institute of Biophysics and Biomedical Engineering at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, 2025) Hammachi, Radhouane; Belkacem, Samia; Messaoudi, Noureddine; Bekka, Raïs El’hadi
    Electromyography (EMG) is a fundamental tool in diagnosing neuromuscular disorders (NMD). 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.

    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 bearing

    Rolling bearing fault feature selection based on standard deviation and random forest classifier using vibration signals
    (SAGE, 2023) Moussaoui, Imane; Rahmoune, Chemseddine; Benazzouz, Djamel
    The 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 conditions

    This 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.

    New gear fault diagnosis method based on MODWPT and neural network for feature extraction and classification
    (ASTM International, 2019) Afia, Adel; Rahmoune, Chemseddine; Benazzouz, Djamel; Merainani, Boualem; Fedala, Semchedine
    Gear fault diagnosis using vibration signals has become the subject of intensive studies to detect any sudden failure. However, these signals exhibit nonlinear and nonstationary behaviors when the rotating machine operates under multiple working conditions. Furthermore, fault features extraction and classification of multiple gear states are always unsatisfactory and considered as a huge task. This is the main reason that motivates us to develop a new intelligent gear fault diagnosis method in order to automatically identify and classify several kinds of gear defects under different work conditions. So in this article, we propose a combination between the maximal overlap discrete wavelet packet transform (MODWPT), entropy indicator, and a multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network as a new automatic fault diagnosis approach. MODWPT decomposes the data signal into several components using a uniform frequency bandwidth. Each decomposed component is selected to extract feature vector using entropy indicator. Finally, MLP provides a powerful automatic tool for identifying and classifying the aforementioned extracted features. Experimental vibration signals of healthy gear; gear with general surface wear; gear with chipped tooth in length; gear with chipped tooth in width; gear with missing tooth; and gear with tooth root crack are recorded under fifteen different work conditions to test the effectiveness of the suggested technique. Experimental results affirm that our proposed approach can successfully detect, identify, and classify the gear fault pattern in all cases

    Fuzzy logic based broken bar fault diagnosis and behavior study of induction machine
    (International Information and Engineering Technology Association, 2020) Chouidira, I.; Khodja, Djalal Eddine; Chakroune, S.
    This study aims to display fuzzy logic (FL) technique for diagnosis of fault induction machine. This allows monitoring of fuzzy information from different signals to give more accurate judgment on the health of the engine, through using a multi-winding model of induction machine for the simulation of broken bars. This model allows study the influence of defects and appear the behavior of the machine in the different modes of running conditions (healthy and fault). In this work, we focus the application of a fuzzy logic technique based on the fast Fourier transformation (FFT) by analyzing the stator current for fault detection. The results of the simulation obtained allowed us to show the importance of the fuzzy logic approach based on classification of signals for detecting the faulty. © 2020 Lavoisier. All rights reserved

    Gear fault diagnosis using Autogram analysis
    (Sage, 2018) Afia, Adel; Rahmoune, Chemseddine; Djamel, Benazzouz
    Rotary machines consist of various devices such as gears, bearings, and shafts that operate simultaneously. 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 effectiveness
