1 Introduction

A rolling bearing is an important rotating part in a mechan-ical equipment and its quality decides the operation per-formance of the equipment A faulty bearing may cause thewhole equipment to operate abnormally Bearing faults mustbe effectively diagnosed to avoid catastrophic mechanicalfailures and significant economic losses

The vibration signals of rolling bearings often indicatesome fault information When the fault occurs in rotatingbearings different characteristic frequencies of vibrationsignals can be generated periodically [1] Actually for theoriginal vibration signals many useful fault features areusually hidden in noise and the relationship between faultsymptoms and causations is very complex so it is difficultto make accurate and quantitative analysis for fault typesIn recent years many studies have been devoted to the faultdiagnosis of rolling bearing There are two critical issues fordiagnosing bearing faults from vibration signals One issue ishow to extract fault features from vibration signals Anotherone is how to analyze fault features and recognize fault typesaccording to these features

In order to extract useful fault features from vibrationsignals many techniques such as time domain frequency

domain and time-frequency domainmethods are extensivelyinvestigated [2] In the time domain method key parameterscan be extracted directly from the original vibration signalssuch as root mean square (RMS) crest factor peak andprobability density function [3] In addition time domainsignals can be transformed into frequency domain by Fouriertransform However Fourier analysis may cause informationloss during the transformation particularly for nonstationarysignals The vibration of a rolling bearing is typically non-stationary so it is difficult to extract accurate and completefault features when adopting the traditional analysis only inthe time or frequency domain In time-frequency domainthewavelet can revealmore complete information for nonsta-tionary signals [4] Many research results show that a waveletpacket is an effective tool to extract features from vibrationsignals for bearing fault diagnosis [5ndash8]

The next key issue is to recognize fault types of bearingsaccording to the extracted fault features from vibrationsignals To solve this problem various approaches such asexpert systems [9 10] neural networks [3 11 12] and fuzzyapproaches [13ndash15] have been developed for fault diagnosisover the past few years Fuzzy theory has attracted increasingattention in bearing fault diagnosis and many researches

show that fuzzy theory is an effective tool to diagnose bearingfaults

Fuzzy sets (FSs) theory was proposed by Zadeh (1965)for handling uncertain information using single membershipdegree function [16] The fuzzy sets were extended to intu-itionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) [17] and interval valued intuitionis-tic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) [18] by usingmembership degree func-tion non-membership degree function and degree functionof hesitation simultaneously FSs IFSs and IVIFSs have beenwidely applied in various fields However FSs IFSs andIVIFSs cannot deal with some types of uncertainties such asthe indeterminate information and inconsistent informationin real physical problems Furthermore Smarandache [19]proposed neutrosophy theory from philosophical point ofview Neutrosophic sets (NSs) are characterized by a truth-membership function an indeterminacy-membership func-tion and a falsity-membership functionThe functions ofNSstake the value from real standard or nonstandard subsets of]minus0 1+[ [19] andNSs are difficult to be applied in engineeringareas For the real engineering applications neutrosophicsets (NSs) can be described as simplified neutrosophic sets(SNSs) [20] with the normal standard real unit interval[0 1] One major advantage of SNSs is the ability to performanalysis problems involving imprecise undetermined andinconsistent data Recently SNSs have been applied in manydifferent fuzzy problems such as medical diagnosis problems[21 22] decision making problems [20 23] and imageprocessing [24]

For vibrational fault diagnosis of rolling bearing thereis no direct accurate and quantitative relationship betweenfault vibration characteristics and fault types Therefore thefault-diagnosis process has certain vagueness This papermainly focuses on the fault diagnosis of rolling bearingsbased on vibration signals and SNSs In this work a morpho-logical filter and wavelet packet decomposition are appliedto preprocess the original vibration signals and the SNSsof each fault type will be established according to energyeigenvectors The fault types will be diagnosed using a newcorrelation coefficient of SNSs

The rest of the paper is organized as follows Section 2gives the experimental system Section 3 gives the datapreprocessing techniques including morphological opening-closing operation and wavelet packet decomposition InSection 4 some basic concepts of SNSs and a new correlationcoefficient are introduced firstly and then the fault-diagnosismethod is presented based on SNSs Conclusions of this workare summarized in Section 5

According to (1) we can calculate the fault frequencies119865119874 = 6125Hz 119865119868 = 11375Hz and 119865119861 = 7583Hz in thisexperiment

3 Vibration Signal Data Preprocessing

The framework of diagnosing process is shown in Figure 3The original vibration signals of bearings are usually

ridden with noise It is difficult to extract the fault featuresdirectly from original vibration signals In order to removethe strong noises and detect the effective signals for bearingfaults diagnosis data processing algorithms are necessary

to be performed In this experiment a morphological filteris used to remove high frequencies noise from the originalvibration signals firstly and then wavelet packet is applied todecompose the signals into the individual frequencies

31 Morphological Filter A morphological filter is a nonlin-ear signal processing and analysis tool in time domain andit can be composed of several morphological operations [27]The basic morphological operators include dilation erosionopening and closing Assume that 119909(119899) and a structuralelement 119910(119899) are discrete signals defined in119883 = 0 1 119873minus1 and119861 = 0 1 119872minus1 respectively and119873 ge 119872 the fourbasic operators of 119909(119899) on 119910(119899) are defined as follows

Dilation

119909 (119899 + 119898) + 119910 (119898) (119899 = 0 1 119873 + 119872)

Morphological opening-closing filter as follows

119865oc = (119909 ∘ 119910 ∙ 119910) (6)

In this experiment the morphological opening-closingfilter 119865oc was used to remove the strong noises

Figures 4ndash6 show the signals of rolling element bearingswith outer race inner race and ball fault respectively [25]In these figures the fault signals have distinguishing peakvalue features at the fault frequencies The results in Figures4ndash6 indicate thatmorphological filter is an effective denoisingtechnique for vibration signals of ball bearings

32 Wavelet Packet Decomposition According to the struc-ture of wavelet decomposition the input vibration signal canbe decomposed into low-frequency and high-frequency partsfor each stepThe selection of a suitable level for the hierarchydepends on the signal experience and actual needs [4 7]The wavelet packet was applied to decompose the vibrationsignals into eight subfrequency bands in the practical appli-cation [2 6] Based on review of earlier researcher in thiswork 3-level wavelet packet decomposition is considered forbearing fault diagnosis and experimental results show thatthe bearing fault feature can be extracted effectively from thedecomposed signals

Figure 5 Signals of rolling bearing in inner race fault

In this experiment the vibration signals of bearing arepreprocessed firstly by a morphological filter and then aredecomposed using 3-level wavelet packet

Assume that 119909(119905) is a vibration signal 119871(sdot) and 119867(sdot) arequadrature mirror filters representing low-pass and high-pass wavelet filters respectively These filters associate withthe scaling function and wavelet function and satisfy thecondition 119867(119899) = (minus1)119899119871(1 minus 119899) Then the signal 119909(119905)can be decomposed into a set of high- and low-frequencycomponents by the following recursive relationships

1199091198952119896 = sum119899

119871 (119899) sdot 119909119895minus11198961199091198952119896+1 = sum

where 1199091198952119896 denotes the wavelet coefficients at the119895th level and2119896th subbandThe diagram of 3-level wavelet packet decomposition is

shown in Figure 7 In Figure 7 the frequency intervals of eachband can be computed by ((119896 minus 1)11989111990424 11989611989111990424] where 119891119904 issampling frequency In this work 119891119904 = 10 kHz and 11989111990424 =625Hz The frequency intervals are given in Table 2

The vibration signal 119909(119905) can be expressed as follows

119909 (119905) = 23minus1sum119896=0

1199093119896 (119905) 119896 = 0 1 7 (8)

where 119896 represents eight subfrequency bands and1199093119896(119905) is thewavelet coefficient at the 3-level and 119896th subfrequency band

After the decomposition the energy in each subfrequencyband can be defined as

1198641198963 = int 10038161003816100381610038161199093119896 (119905)10038161003816100381610038162 119889119905 =119873sum119894=0

where 1199093119896(119894) is the 119894th discrete point amplitude of waveletcoefficient (1199093119896(119905)) and119873 is its discrete point number in eachsubfrequency

The faults of rolling bearings will greatly influence thewavelet packet energy of vibration signals so it is veryuseful to extract the energy eigenvalue for diagnosing bearingfaults In this experiment an eigenvector based on energyeigenvalue of each frequency can be constructed as follows

Furthermore assume that 1198643max is the maximum value ofthe energy eigenvalue in the 3-level subfrequency band andthen the eigenvalues can be normalized as follows

119864lowast1198963 = 11986411989631198643max 119896 = 0 1 7 (11)

By the above normalization the energy eigenvalue of thewavelet packet energy of vibration signals was bounded to

[0 1] and then the normalized eigenvector can be describedas follows

119879lowast = 119864lowast03 119864lowast13 119864lowast23 119864lowast33 119864lowast43 119864lowast53 119864lowast63 119864lowast73 (12)

The normalized energy eigenvalues of vibration signalsare shown in Figure 8

For diffident type faults of bearing the eigenvalue ofthe wavelet packet energy has the distinguishing distributionat the individual subfrequency band According to a lot ofexperimentation and data comparison we extract the lowerbound and upper bound of the energy eigenvalues for typicalfaults of bearing and establish the energy interval ranges asshown in Table 3 and the energy interval ranges can be usedto diagnose fault types of rolling bearings in the next step

45 Results andDiscussions Todemonstrate the effectivenessof the new diagnosis method we now provide two examplesfor fault diagnosis of bearings Let us consider two testingbearing samples 1198611 and 1198612 described as neutrosophic sets

1198611 = ⟨1198901 100 001 000⟩ ⟨1198902 051 001 049⟩ ⟨1198903 008 001 092⟩ ⟨1198904 024 001 076⟩ ⟨1198905 000 001 100⟩ ⟨1198906 003 001 097⟩ ⟨1198907 005 001 095⟩ ⟨1198908 006 001 094⟩

1198612 = ⟨1198901 100 001 000⟩ ⟨1198902 039 001 061⟩ ⟨1198903 003 001 097⟩ ⟨1198904 022 001 078⟩ ⟨1198905 000 001 100⟩ ⟨1198906 001 001 100⟩ ⟨1198907 001 001 100⟩ ⟨1198908 001 001 100⟩

(20)

The correlation coefficient values between SNSs 119861119895 (119895 =1 2) and 119860119896 (119896 = 1 2 3 4) can calculated by (17) as follows

119872SNS (1198601 1198611) = 08787119872SNS (1198602 1198611) = 09483119872SNS (1198603 1198611) = 08746119872SNS (1198604 1198611) = 09819119872SNS (1198601 1198612) = 08587119872SNS (1198602 1198612) = 09714119872SNS (1198603 1198612) = 08566119872SNS (1198604 1198612) = 09590

(21)

For the fault-testing sample 1198611 119872SNS(1198604 1198611) is themaximum correlation coefficient and 119872SNS(1198602 1198611) is thesecond correlation coefficient According to the principle ofcorrelation coefficient the fault-diagnosis order is as follows

1198604 997888rarr 1198602 997888rarr 1198601 997888rarr 1198603 (22)

Therefore we can determine that the testing bearing isan inner race fault bearing By actual observing the testing

bearing inner race was covered with scratches and thereforethe diagnosis result is correct

Similarly for the fault-testing sample 1198612 the fault-diagnosis order is as follows

1198602 997888rarr 1198604 997888rarr 1198601 997888rarr 1198603 (23)

By actual checking the fault of the bearing firstly resultedfrom damage of outer race and then inner race So thediagnosis results are consistent with the actual situation

In the experiment 120 rolling bearings were used fortesting samples In order to verify the effectiveness of thefault-diagnosis method proposed in this paper we extractedthe energy eigenvalues of bearing vibration signals firstly andthen diagnosed the bearing faults using the correlation coef-ficient of SNSs and the support vector machine (SVM) [25]respectivelyThe fault-diagnosis results of rolling bearings areshown in Table 5 By comparing the diagnosis results shownin Table 5 it is clear that the diagnosis accuracy rate based onthe correlation coefficient of SNSs is much higher than theaccuracy rate based on SVM

For further comparison Table 6 lists the diagnosis resultsbased on the correlation coefficient of SNSs SVM BP andGA-BP [28] methods respectively Obviously the methodbased on the correlation coefficient of SNSs can achieve theaverage accuracy rate of 925 and it is higher than the onesbased on the other methods

The above comparisons demonstrate that the proposedmethod in this paper is effective in the bearing fault diagnosis

5 Conclusion

To diagnose rolling bearing faults a new fault-diagnosismethod was developed by combining correlation coefficientof SNSs with wavelet packet decomposition A series ofexperiments were conducted to diagnose rolling bearingfaults and the experimental results demonstrated that theproposed method can effectively identify the bearing faultsFor the novel fault-diagnosis method there exist two keyissues (1) extracting useful fault features by wavelet packetdecomposition (2) building the accurate SNSs models ofbearing faults In the future work the two issues will befurther improved based on the analysis of a large amount of

show that fuzzy theory is an effective tool to diagnose bearingfaults

Fuzzy sets (FSs) theory was proposed by Zadeh (1965)for handling uncertain information using single membershipdegree function [16] The fuzzy sets were extended to intu-itionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) [17] and interval valued intuitionis-tic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) [18] by usingmembership degree func-tion non-membership degree function and degree functionof hesitation simultaneously FSs IFSs and IVIFSs have beenwidely applied in various fields However FSs IFSs andIVIFSs cannot deal with some types of uncertainties such asthe indeterminate information and inconsistent informationin real physical problems Furthermore Smarandache [19]proposed neutrosophy theory from philosophical point ofview Neutrosophic sets (NSs) are characterized by a truth-membership function an indeterminacy-membership func-tion and a falsity-membership functionThe functions ofNSstake the value from real standard or nonstandard subsets of]minus0 1+[ [19] andNSs are difficult to be applied in engineeringareas For the real engineering applications neutrosophicsets (NSs) can be described as simplified neutrosophic sets(SNSs) [20] with the normal standard real unit interval[0 1] One major advantage of SNSs is the ability to performanalysis problems involving imprecise undetermined andinconsistent data Recently SNSs have been applied in manydifferent fuzzy problems such as medical diagnosis problems[21 22] decision making problems [20 23] and imageprocessing [24]

For vibrational fault diagnosis of rolling bearing thereis no direct accurate and quantitative relationship betweenfault vibration characteristics and fault types Therefore thefault-diagnosis process has certain vagueness This papermainly focuses on the fault diagnosis of rolling bearingsbased on vibration signals and SNSs In this work a morpho-logical filter and wavelet packet decomposition are appliedto preprocess the original vibration signals and the SNSsof each fault type will be established according to energyeigenvectors The fault types will be diagnosed using a newcorrelation coefficient of SNSs

The rest of the paper is organized as follows Section 2gives the experimental system Section 3 gives the datapreprocessing techniques including morphological opening-closing operation and wavelet packet decomposition InSection 4 some basic concepts of SNSs and a new correlationcoefficient are introduced firstly and then the fault-diagnosismethod is presented based on SNSs Conclusions of this workare summarized in Section 5

According to (1) we can calculate the fault frequencies119865119874 = 6125Hz 119865119868 = 11375Hz and 119865119861 = 7583Hz in thisexperiment

3 Vibration Signal Data Preprocessing

The framework of diagnosing process is shown in Figure 3The original vibration signals of bearings are usually

ridden with noise It is difficult to extract the fault featuresdirectly from original vibration signals In order to removethe strong noises and detect the effective signals for bearingfaults diagnosis data processing algorithms are necessary

to be performed In this experiment a morphological filteris used to remove high frequencies noise from the originalvibration signals firstly and then wavelet packet is applied todecompose the signals into the individual frequencies

31 Morphological Filter A morphological filter is a nonlin-ear signal processing and analysis tool in time domain andit can be composed of several morphological operations [27]The basic morphological operators include dilation erosionopening and closing Assume that 119909(119899) and a structuralelement 119910(119899) are discrete signals defined in119883 = 0 1 119873minus1 and119861 = 0 1 119872minus1 respectively and119873 ge 119872 the fourbasic operators of 119909(119899) on 119910(119899) are defined as follows

Dilation

119909 oplus 119910 = max119898=01119872minus1

119909 (119899 + 119898) + 119910 (119898) (119899 = 0 1 119873 + 119872)

Morphological opening-closing filter as follows

119865oc = (119909 ∘ 119910 ∙ 119910) (6)

In this experiment the morphological opening-closingfilter 119865oc was used to remove the strong noises

Figures 4ndash6 show the signals of rolling element bearingswith outer race inner race and ball fault respectively [25]In these figures the fault signals have distinguishing peakvalue features at the fault frequencies The results in Figures4ndash6 indicate thatmorphological filter is an effective denoisingtechnique for vibration signals of ball bearings

32 Wavelet Packet Decomposition According to the struc-ture of wavelet decomposition the input vibration signal canbe decomposed into low-frequency and high-frequency partsfor each stepThe selection of a suitable level for the hierarchydepends on the signal experience and actual needs [4 7]The wavelet packet was applied to decompose the vibrationsignals into eight subfrequency bands in the practical appli-cation [2 6] Based on review of earlier researcher in thiswork 3-level wavelet packet decomposition is considered forbearing fault diagnosis and experimental results show thatthe bearing fault feature can be extracted effectively from thedecomposed signals

Figure 5 Signals of rolling bearing in inner race fault

In this experiment the vibration signals of bearing arepreprocessed firstly by a morphological filter and then aredecomposed using 3-level wavelet packet

Assume that 119909(119905) is a vibration signal 119871(sdot) and 119867(sdot) arequadrature mirror filters representing low-pass and high-pass wavelet filters respectively These filters associate withthe scaling function and wavelet function and satisfy thecondition 119867(119899) = (minus1)119899119871(1 minus 119899) Then the signal 119909(119905)can be decomposed into a set of high- and low-frequencycomponents by the following recursive relationships

1199091198952119896 = sum119899

119871 (119899) sdot 119909119895minus11198961199091198952119896+1 = sum

where 1199091198952119896 denotes the wavelet coefficients at the119895th level and2119896th subbandThe diagram of 3-level wavelet packet decomposition is

shown in Figure 7 In Figure 7 the frequency intervals of eachband can be computed by ((119896 minus 1)11989111990424 11989611989111990424] where 119891119904 issampling frequency In this work 119891119904 = 10 kHz and 11989111990424 =625Hz The frequency intervals are given in Table 2

The vibration signal 119909(119905) can be expressed as follows

119909 (119905) = 23minus1sum119896=0

1199093119896 (119905) 119896 = 0 1 7 (8)

where 119896 represents eight subfrequency bands and1199093119896(119905) is thewavelet coefficient at the 3-level and 119896th subfrequency band

After the decomposition the energy in each subfrequencyband can be defined as

1198641198963 = int 10038161003816100381610038161199093119896 (119905)10038161003816100381610038162 119889119905 =119873sum119894=0

where 1199093119896(119894) is the 119894th discrete point amplitude of waveletcoefficient (1199093119896(119905)) and119873 is its discrete point number in eachsubfrequency

The faults of rolling bearings will greatly influence thewavelet packet energy of vibration signals so it is veryuseful to extract the energy eigenvalue for diagnosing bearingfaults In this experiment an eigenvector based on energyeigenvalue of each frequency can be constructed as follows

Furthermore assume that 1198643max is the maximum value ofthe energy eigenvalue in the 3-level subfrequency band andthen the eigenvalues can be normalized as follows

119864lowast1198963 = 11986411989631198643max 119896 = 0 1 7 (11)

By the above normalization the energy eigenvalue of thewavelet packet energy of vibration signals was bounded to

[0 1] and then the normalized eigenvector can be describedas follows

119879lowast = 119864lowast03 119864lowast13 119864lowast23 119864lowast33 119864lowast43 119864lowast53 119864lowast63 119864lowast73 (12)

The normalized energy eigenvalues of vibration signalsare shown in Figure 8

For diffident type faults of bearing the eigenvalue ofthe wavelet packet energy has the distinguishing distributionat the individual subfrequency band According to a lot ofexperimentation and data comparison we extract the lowerbound and upper bound of the energy eigenvalues for typicalfaults of bearing and establish the energy interval ranges asshown in Table 3 and the energy interval ranges can be usedto diagnose fault types of rolling bearings in the next step

45 Results andDiscussions Todemonstrate the effectivenessof the new diagnosis method we now provide two examplesfor fault diagnosis of bearings Let us consider two testingbearing samples 1198611 and 1198612 described as neutrosophic sets

1198611 = ⟨1198901 100 001 000⟩ ⟨1198902 051 001 049⟩ ⟨1198903 008 001 092⟩ ⟨1198904 024 001 076⟩ ⟨1198905 000 001 100⟩ ⟨1198906 003 001 097⟩ ⟨1198907 005 001 095⟩ ⟨1198908 006 001 094⟩

1198612 = ⟨1198901 100 001 000⟩ ⟨1198902 039 001 061⟩ ⟨1198903 003 001 097⟩ ⟨1198904 022 001 078⟩ ⟨1198905 000 001 100⟩ ⟨1198906 001 001 100⟩ ⟨1198907 001 001 100⟩ ⟨1198908 001 001 100⟩

(20)

The correlation coefficient values between SNSs 119861119895 (119895 =1 2) and 119860119896 (119896 = 1 2 3 4) can calculated by (17) as follows

119872SNS (1198601 1198611) = 08787119872SNS (1198602 1198611) = 09483119872SNS (1198603 1198611) = 08746119872SNS (1198604 1198611) = 09819119872SNS (1198601 1198612) = 08587119872SNS (1198602 1198612) = 09714119872SNS (1198603 1198612) = 08566119872SNS (1198604 1198612) = 09590

(21)

For the fault-testing sample 1198611 119872SNS(1198604 1198611) is themaximum correlation coefficient and 119872SNS(1198602 1198611) is thesecond correlation coefficient According to the principle ofcorrelation coefficient the fault-diagnosis order is as follows

1198604 997888rarr 1198602 997888rarr 1198601 997888rarr 1198603 (22)

Therefore we can determine that the testing bearing isan inner race fault bearing By actual observing the testing

bearing inner race was covered with scratches and thereforethe diagnosis result is correct

Similarly for the fault-testing sample 1198612 the fault-diagnosis order is as follows

1198602 997888rarr 1198604 997888rarr 1198601 997888rarr 1198603 (23)

By actual checking the fault of the bearing firstly resultedfrom damage of outer race and then inner race So thediagnosis results are consistent with the actual situation

In the experiment 120 rolling bearings were used fortesting samples In order to verify the effectiveness of thefault-diagnosis method proposed in this paper we extractedthe energy eigenvalues of bearing vibration signals firstly andthen diagnosed the bearing faults using the correlation coef-ficient of SNSs and the support vector machine (SVM) [25]respectivelyThe fault-diagnosis results of rolling bearings areshown in Table 5 By comparing the diagnosis results shownin Table 5 it is clear that the diagnosis accuracy rate based onthe correlation coefficient of SNSs is much higher than theaccuracy rate based on SVM

For further comparison Table 6 lists the diagnosis resultsbased on the correlation coefficient of SNSs SVM BP andGA-BP [28] methods respectively Obviously the methodbased on the correlation coefficient of SNSs can achieve theaverage accuracy rate of 925 and it is higher than the onesbased on the other methods

The above comparisons demonstrate that the proposedmethod in this paper is effective in the bearing fault diagnosis

5 Conclusion

To diagnose rolling bearing faults a new fault-diagnosismethod was developed by combining correlation coefficientof SNSs with wavelet packet decomposition A series ofexperiments were conducted to diagnose rolling bearingfaults and the experimental results demonstrated that theproposed method can effectively identify the bearing faultsFor the novel fault-diagnosis method there exist two keyissues (1) extracting useful fault features by wavelet packetdecomposition (2) building the accurate SNSs models ofbearing faults In the future work the two issues will befurther improved based on the analysis of a large amount of

where 119889 is the diameter of the rolling elements119863 is the pitchdiameter 119865119903 is the rotational speed of the shaft 119873119861 is thenumber of rolling elements and 119865119874 119865119868 and 119865119861 represent thefault frequencies of outer race fault inner race fault and ballfault of a bearing respectively

According to (1) we can calculate the fault frequencies119865119874 = 6125Hz 119865119868 = 11375Hz and 119865119861 = 7583Hz in thisexperiment

3 Vibration Signal Data Preprocessing

The framework of diagnosing process is shown in Figure 3The original vibration signals of bearings are usually

ridden with noise It is difficult to extract the fault featuresdirectly from original vibration signals In order to removethe strong noises and detect the effective signals for bearingfaults diagnosis data processing algorithms are necessary

to be performed In this experiment a morphological filteris used to remove high frequencies noise from the originalvibration signals firstly and then wavelet packet is applied todecompose the signals into the individual frequencies

31 Morphological Filter A morphological filter is a nonlin-ear signal processing and analysis tool in time domain andit can be composed of several morphological operations [27]The basic morphological operators include dilation erosionopening and closing Assume that 119909(119899) and a structuralelement 119910(119899) are discrete signals defined in119883 = 0 1 119873minus1 and119861 = 0 1 119872minus1 respectively and119873 ge 119872 the fourbasic operators of 119909(119899) on 119910(119899) are defined as follows

Dilation

119909 oplus 119910 = max119898=01119872minus1

119909 (119899 + 119898) + 119910 (119898) (119899 = 0 1 119873 + 119872)

(2)

Erosion

119909 ⊖ 119910 = min119898=01119872minus1

119909 (119899 + 119898) minus 119910 (119898) (119899 = 0 1 119873 + 119872) (3)

Opening

119909 ∘ 119910 = (119909 ⊖ 119910 oplus 119910) (4)

Closing

119909 ∙ 119910 = (119909 oplus 119910 ⊖ 119910) (5)

Morphological opening-closing filter as follows

119865oc = (119909 ∘ 119910 ∙ 119910) (6)

In this experiment the morphological opening-closingfilter 119865oc was used to remove the strong noises

Figures 4ndash6 show the signals of rolling element bearingswith outer race inner race and ball fault respectively [25]In these figures the fault signals have distinguishing peakvalue features at the fault frequencies The results in Figures4ndash6 indicate thatmorphological filter is an effective denoisingtechnique for vibration signals of ball bearings

32 Wavelet Packet Decomposition According to the struc-ture of wavelet decomposition the input vibration signal canbe decomposed into low-frequency and high-frequency partsfor each stepThe selection of a suitable level for the hierarchydepends on the signal experience and actual needs [4 7]The wavelet packet was applied to decompose the vibrationsignals into eight subfrequency bands in the practical appli-cation [2 6] Based on review of earlier researcher in thiswork 3-level wavelet packet decomposition is considered forbearing fault diagnosis and experimental results show thatthe bearing fault feature can be extracted effectively from thedecomposed signals

Figure 5 Signals of rolling bearing in inner race fault

In this experiment the vibration signals of bearing arepreprocessed firstly by a morphological filter and then aredecomposed using 3-level wavelet packet

Assume that 119909(119905) is a vibration signal 119871(sdot) and 119867(sdot) arequadrature mirror filters representing low-pass and high-pass wavelet filters respectively These filters associate withthe scaling function and wavelet function and satisfy thecondition 119867(119899) = (minus1)119899119871(1 minus 119899) Then the signal 119909(119905)can be decomposed into a set of high- and low-frequencycomponents by the following recursive relationships

1199091198952119896 = sum119899

119871 (119899) sdot 119909119895minus11198961199091198952119896+1 = sum

119867(119899) sdot 119909119895minus1119896(7)

where 1199091198952119896 denotes the wavelet coefficients at the119895th level and2119896th subbandThe diagram of 3-level wavelet packet decomposition is

shown in Figure 7 In Figure 7 the frequency intervals of eachband can be computed by ((119896 minus 1)11989111990424 11989611989111990424] where 119891119904 issampling frequency In this work 119891119904 = 10 kHz and 11989111990424 =625Hz The frequency intervals are given in Table 2

The vibration signal 119909(119905) can be expressed as follows

119909 (119905) = 23minus1sum119896=0

1199093119896 (119905) 119896 = 0 1 7 (8)

where 119896 represents eight subfrequency bands and1199093119896(119905) is thewavelet coefficient at the 3-level and 119896th subfrequency band

After the decomposition the energy in each subfrequencyband can be defined as

1198641198963 = int 10038161003816100381610038161199093119896 (119905)10038161003816100381610038162 119889119905 =119873sum119894=0

where 1199093119896(119894) is the 119894th discrete point amplitude of waveletcoefficient (1199093119896(119905)) and119873 is its discrete point number in eachsubfrequency

The faults of rolling bearings will greatly influence thewavelet packet energy of vibration signals so it is veryuseful to extract the energy eigenvalue for diagnosing bearingfaults In this experiment an eigenvector based on energyeigenvalue of each frequency can be constructed as follows

119879 = 11986403 11986413 11986423 11986433 11986443 11986453 11986463 11986473 (10)

Furthermore assume that 1198643max is the maximum value ofthe energy eigenvalue in the 3-level subfrequency band andthen the eigenvalues can be normalized as follows

119864lowast1198963 = 11986411989631198643max 119896 = 0 1 7 (11)

By the above normalization the energy eigenvalue of thewavelet packet energy of vibration signals was bounded to

[0 1] and then the normalized eigenvector can be describedas follows

119879lowast = 119864lowast03 119864lowast13 119864lowast23 119864lowast33 119864lowast43 119864lowast53 119864lowast63 119864lowast73 (12)

The normalized energy eigenvalues of vibration signalsare shown in Figure 8

For diffident type faults of bearing the eigenvalue ofthe wavelet packet energy has the distinguishing distributionat the individual subfrequency band According to a lot ofexperimentation and data comparison we extract the lowerbound and upper bound of the energy eigenvalues for typicalfaults of bearing and establish the energy interval ranges asshown in Table 3 and the energy interval ranges can be usedto diagnose fault types of rolling bearings in the next step

45 Results andDiscussions Todemonstrate the effectivenessof the new diagnosis method we now provide two examplesfor fault diagnosis of bearings Let us consider two testingbearing samples 1198611 and 1198612 described as neutrosophic sets

1198611 = ⟨1198901 100 001 000⟩ ⟨1198902 051 001 049⟩ ⟨1198903 008 001 092⟩ ⟨1198904 024 001 076⟩ ⟨1198905 000 001 100⟩ ⟨1198906 003 001 097⟩ ⟨1198907 005 001 095⟩ ⟨1198908 006 001 094⟩

1198612 = ⟨1198901 100 001 000⟩ ⟨1198902 039 001 061⟩ ⟨1198903 003 001 097⟩ ⟨1198904 022 001 078⟩ ⟨1198905 000 001 100⟩ ⟨1198906 001 001 100⟩ ⟨1198907 001 001 100⟩ ⟨1198908 001 001 100⟩

(20)

The correlation coefficient values between SNSs 119861119895 (119895 =1 2) and 119860119896 (119896 = 1 2 3 4) can calculated by (17) as follows

119872SNS (1198601 1198611) = 08787119872SNS (1198602 1198611) = 09483119872SNS (1198603 1198611) = 08746119872SNS (1198604 1198611) = 09819119872SNS (1198601 1198612) = 08587119872SNS (1198602 1198612) = 09714119872SNS (1198603 1198612) = 08566119872SNS (1198604 1198612) = 09590

(21)

For the fault-testing sample 1198611 119872SNS(1198604 1198611) is themaximum correlation coefficient and 119872SNS(1198602 1198611) is thesecond correlation coefficient According to the principle ofcorrelation coefficient the fault-diagnosis order is as follows

1198604 997888rarr 1198602 997888rarr 1198601 997888rarr 1198603 (22)

Therefore we can determine that the testing bearing isan inner race fault bearing By actual observing the testing

bearing inner race was covered with scratches and thereforethe diagnosis result is correct

Similarly for the fault-testing sample 1198612 the fault-diagnosis order is as follows

1198602 997888rarr 1198604 997888rarr 1198601 997888rarr 1198603 (23)

By actual checking the fault of the bearing firstly resultedfrom damage of outer race and then inner race So thediagnosis results are consistent with the actual situation

In the experiment 120 rolling bearings were used fortesting samples In order to verify the effectiveness of thefault-diagnosis method proposed in this paper we extractedthe energy eigenvalues of bearing vibration signals firstly andthen diagnosed the bearing faults using the correlation coef-ficient of SNSs and the support vector machine (SVM) [25]respectivelyThe fault-diagnosis results of rolling bearings areshown in Table 5 By comparing the diagnosis results shownin Table 5 it is clear that the diagnosis accuracy rate based onthe correlation coefficient of SNSs is much higher than theaccuracy rate based on SVM

For further comparison Table 6 lists the diagnosis resultsbased on the correlation coefficient of SNSs SVM BP andGA-BP [28] methods respectively Obviously the methodbased on the correlation coefficient of SNSs can achieve theaverage accuracy rate of 925 and it is higher than the onesbased on the other methods

The above comparisons demonstrate that the proposedmethod in this paper is effective in the bearing fault diagnosis

5 Conclusion

To diagnose rolling bearing faults a new fault-diagnosismethod was developed by combining correlation coefficientof SNSs with wavelet packet decomposition A series ofexperiments were conducted to diagnose rolling bearingfaults and the experimental results demonstrated that theproposed method can effectively identify the bearing faultsFor the novel fault-diagnosis method there exist two keyissues (1) extracting useful fault features by wavelet packetdecomposition (2) building the accurate SNSs models ofbearing faults In the future work the two issues will befurther improved based on the analysis of a large amount of

Figure 5 Signals of rolling bearing in inner race fault

In this experiment the vibration signals of bearing arepreprocessed firstly by a morphological filter and then aredecomposed using 3-level wavelet packet

Assume that 119909(119905) is a vibration signal 119871(sdot) and 119867(sdot) arequadrature mirror filters representing low-pass and high-pass wavelet filters respectively These filters associate withthe scaling function and wavelet function and satisfy thecondition 119867(119899) = (minus1)119899119871(1 minus 119899) Then the signal 119909(119905)can be decomposed into a set of high- and low-frequencycomponents by the following recursive relationships

1199091198952119896 = sum119899

where 1199091198952119896 denotes the wavelet coefficients at the119895th level and2119896th subbandThe diagram of 3-level wavelet packet decomposition is

shown in Figure 7 In Figure 7 the frequency intervals of eachband can be computed by ((119896 minus 1)11989111990424 11989611989111990424] where 119891119904 issampling frequency In this work 119891119904 = 10 kHz and 11989111990424 =625Hz The frequency intervals are given in Table 2

The vibration signal 119909(119905) can be expressed as follows

119909 (119905) = 23minus1sum119896=0

1199093119896 (119905) 119896 = 0 1 7 (8)

where 119896 represents eight subfrequency bands and1199093119896(119905) is thewavelet coefficient at the 3-level and 119896th subfrequency band

After the decomposition the energy in each subfrequencyband can be defined as

where 1199093119896(119894) is the 119894th discrete point amplitude of waveletcoefficient (1199093119896(119905)) and119873 is its discrete point number in eachsubfrequency

The faults of rolling bearings will greatly influence thewavelet packet energy of vibration signals so it is veryuseful to extract the energy eigenvalue for diagnosing bearingfaults In this experiment an eigenvector based on energyeigenvalue of each frequency can be constructed as follows

119879 = 11986403 11986413 11986423 11986433 11986443 11986453 11986463 11986473 (10)

Furthermore assume that 1198643max is the maximum value ofthe energy eigenvalue in the 3-level subfrequency band andthen the eigenvalues can be normalized as follows

119864lowast1198963 = 11986411989631198643max 119896 = 0 1 7 (11)

By the above normalization the energy eigenvalue of thewavelet packet energy of vibration signals was bounded to

[0 1] and then the normalized eigenvector can be describedas follows

The normalized energy eigenvalues of vibration signalsare shown in Figure 8

For diffident type faults of bearing the eigenvalue ofthe wavelet packet energy has the distinguishing distributionat the individual subfrequency band According to a lot ofexperimentation and data comparison we extract the lowerbound and upper bound of the energy eigenvalues for typicalfaults of bearing and establish the energy interval ranges asshown in Table 3 and the energy interval ranges can be usedto diagnose fault types of rolling bearings in the next step

44 Rolling Bearing Fault Diagnosis Using Correlation Coeffi-cient In this section we apply the correlation coefficient ofSNSs to diagnose rolling bearing faults Assume that 119860119896 (119896 =1 2 3 4) are SNSs models of rolling bearing faults and 119860 119905 isa testing rolling bearing signal expressed by a SNS Then wecan calculate the correlation coefficient value 119872SNS(119860119896 119860 119905)(119896 = 1 2 3 4) using (16) Finally the fault-diagnosis orderof the fault-testing sample can be ranked according to thecorrelation coefficient value and the proper diagnosis119860119896lowast forthe bearing fault 119860 119905 is derived by

45 Results andDiscussions Todemonstrate the effectivenessof the new diagnosis method we now provide two examplesfor fault diagnosis of bearings Let us consider two testingbearing samples 1198611 and 1198612 described as neutrosophic sets

1198611 = ⟨1198901 100 001 000⟩ ⟨1198902 051 001 049⟩ ⟨1198903 008 001 092⟩ ⟨1198904 024 001 076⟩ ⟨1198905 000 001 100⟩ ⟨1198906 003 001 097⟩ ⟨1198907 005 001 095⟩ ⟨1198908 006 001 094⟩

1198612 = ⟨1198901 100 001 000⟩ ⟨1198902 039 001 061⟩ ⟨1198903 003 001 097⟩ ⟨1198904 022 001 078⟩ ⟨1198905 000 001 100⟩ ⟨1198906 001 001 100⟩ ⟨1198907 001 001 100⟩ ⟨1198908 001 001 100⟩

(20)

The correlation coefficient values between SNSs 119861119895 (119895 =1 2) and 119860119896 (119896 = 1 2 3 4) can calculated by (17) as follows

119872SNS (1198601 1198611) = 08787119872SNS (1198602 1198611) = 09483119872SNS (1198603 1198611) = 08746119872SNS (1198604 1198611) = 09819119872SNS (1198601 1198612) = 08587119872SNS (1198602 1198612) = 09714119872SNS (1198603 1198612) = 08566119872SNS (1198604 1198612) = 09590

(21)

For the fault-testing sample 1198611 119872SNS(1198604 1198611) is themaximum correlation coefficient and 119872SNS(1198602 1198611) is thesecond correlation coefficient According to the principle ofcorrelation coefficient the fault-diagnosis order is as follows

1198604 997888rarr 1198602 997888rarr 1198601 997888rarr 1198603 (22)

Therefore we can determine that the testing bearing isan inner race fault bearing By actual observing the testing

bearing inner race was covered with scratches and thereforethe diagnosis result is correct

Similarly for the fault-testing sample 1198612 the fault-diagnosis order is as follows

1198602 997888rarr 1198604 997888rarr 1198601 997888rarr 1198603 (23)

By actual checking the fault of the bearing firstly resultedfrom damage of outer race and then inner race So thediagnosis results are consistent with the actual situation

In the experiment 120 rolling bearings were used fortesting samples In order to verify the effectiveness of thefault-diagnosis method proposed in this paper we extractedthe energy eigenvalues of bearing vibration signals firstly andthen diagnosed the bearing faults using the correlation coef-ficient of SNSs and the support vector machine (SVM) [25]respectivelyThe fault-diagnosis results of rolling bearings areshown in Table 5 By comparing the diagnosis results shownin Table 5 it is clear that the diagnosis accuracy rate based onthe correlation coefficient of SNSs is much higher than theaccuracy rate based on SVM

For further comparison Table 6 lists the diagnosis resultsbased on the correlation coefficient of SNSs SVM BP andGA-BP [28] methods respectively Obviously the methodbased on the correlation coefficient of SNSs can achieve theaverage accuracy rate of 925 and it is higher than the onesbased on the other methods

The above comparisons demonstrate that the proposedmethod in this paper is effective in the bearing fault diagnosis

5 Conclusion

To diagnose rolling bearing faults a new fault-diagnosismethod was developed by combining correlation coefficientof SNSs with wavelet packet decomposition A series ofexperiments were conducted to diagnose rolling bearingfaults and the experimental results demonstrated that theproposed method can effectively identify the bearing faultsFor the novel fault-diagnosis method there exist two keyissues (1) extracting useful fault features by wavelet packetdecomposition (2) building the accurate SNSs models ofbearing faults In the future work the two issues will befurther improved based on the analysis of a large amount of

Furthermore assume that 1198643max is the maximum value ofthe energy eigenvalue in the 3-level subfrequency band andthen the eigenvalues can be normalized as follows

119864lowast1198963 = 11986411989631198643max 119896 = 0 1 7 (11)

By the above normalization the energy eigenvalue of thewavelet packet energy of vibration signals was bounded to

[0 1] and then the normalized eigenvector can be describedas follows

119879lowast = 119864lowast03 119864lowast13 119864lowast23 119864lowast33 119864lowast43 119864lowast53 119864lowast63 119864lowast73 (12)

The normalized energy eigenvalues of vibration signalsare shown in Figure 8

For diffident type faults of bearing the eigenvalue ofthe wavelet packet energy has the distinguishing distributionat the individual subfrequency band According to a lot ofexperimentation and data comparison we extract the lowerbound and upper bound of the energy eigenvalues for typicalfaults of bearing and establish the energy interval ranges asshown in Table 3 and the energy interval ranges can be usedto diagnose fault types of rolling bearings in the next step

In this section we briefly introduce basic concepts of simpli-fied neutrosophic sets (SNSs) and propose a new correlationcoefficient of two SNSs which will be needed in the followinganalysisThen we establish the fault SNSs of bearings accord-ing to energy features Finally we present the method forfault diagnosis of rolling bearing according to the correlationcoefficient of SNSs

The above concept of a neutrosophic set (NS) is presentedfrom philosophical point of view and it takes the value fromreal standard or nonstandard subsets of ]minus0 1+[ It will bedifficult to apply ]minus0 1+[ in scientific and engineering areasFor the real applications a simplified neutrosophic set (SNS)is introduced by Ye [20] as the following definition

Definition 2 (see [20]) Let 119880 be a space of points (objects)with generic elements in 119880 denoted by 119909 A simplifiedneutrosophic set (SNS) 119860 in 119880 is characterized by a truth-membership function 119879119860(119909) an indeterminacy-membershipfunction 119868119860(119909) and a falsity-membership function119865119860(119909) Foreach point 119909 in 119880 119879119860(119909) 119868119860(119909) and 119865119860(119909) are singleton

45 Results andDiscussions Todemonstrate the effectivenessof the new diagnosis method we now provide two examplesfor fault diagnosis of bearings Let us consider two testingbearing samples 1198611 and 1198612 described as neutrosophic sets

1198611 = ⟨1198901 100 001 000⟩ ⟨1198902 051 001 049⟩ ⟨1198903 008 001 092⟩ ⟨1198904 024 001 076⟩ ⟨1198905 000 001 100⟩ ⟨1198906 003 001 097⟩ ⟨1198907 005 001 095⟩ ⟨1198908 006 001 094⟩

1198612 = ⟨1198901 100 001 000⟩ ⟨1198902 039 001 061⟩ ⟨1198903 003 001 097⟩ ⟨1198904 022 001 078⟩ ⟨1198905 000 001 100⟩ ⟨1198906 001 001 100⟩ ⟨1198907 001 001 100⟩ ⟨1198908 001 001 100⟩

(20)

The correlation coefficient values between SNSs 119861119895 (119895 =1 2) and 119860119896 (119896 = 1 2 3 4) can calculated by (17) as follows

119872SNS (1198601 1198611) = 08787119872SNS (1198602 1198611) = 09483119872SNS (1198603 1198611) = 08746119872SNS (1198604 1198611) = 09819119872SNS (1198601 1198612) = 08587119872SNS (1198602 1198612) = 09714119872SNS (1198603 1198612) = 08566119872SNS (1198604 1198612) = 09590

(21)

For the fault-testing sample 1198611 119872SNS(1198604 1198611) is themaximum correlation coefficient and 119872SNS(1198602 1198611) is thesecond correlation coefficient According to the principle ofcorrelation coefficient the fault-diagnosis order is as follows

1198604 997888rarr 1198602 997888rarr 1198601 997888rarr 1198603 (22)

Therefore we can determine that the testing bearing isan inner race fault bearing By actual observing the testing

bearing inner race was covered with scratches and thereforethe diagnosis result is correct

Similarly for the fault-testing sample 1198612 the fault-diagnosis order is as follows

1198602 997888rarr 1198604 997888rarr 1198601 997888rarr 1198603 (23)

By actual checking the fault of the bearing firstly resultedfrom damage of outer race and then inner race So thediagnosis results are consistent with the actual situation

In the experiment 120 rolling bearings were used fortesting samples In order to verify the effectiveness of thefault-diagnosis method proposed in this paper we extractedthe energy eigenvalues of bearing vibration signals firstly andthen diagnosed the bearing faults using the correlation coef-ficient of SNSs and the support vector machine (SVM) [25]respectivelyThe fault-diagnosis results of rolling bearings areshown in Table 5 By comparing the diagnosis results shownin Table 5 it is clear that the diagnosis accuracy rate based onthe correlation coefficient of SNSs is much higher than theaccuracy rate based on SVM

For further comparison Table 6 lists the diagnosis resultsbased on the correlation coefficient of SNSs SVM BP andGA-BP [28] methods respectively Obviously the methodbased on the correlation coefficient of SNSs can achieve theaverage accuracy rate of 925 and it is higher than the onesbased on the other methods

The above comparisons demonstrate that the proposedmethod in this paper is effective in the bearing fault diagnosis

5 Conclusion

To diagnose rolling bearing faults a new fault-diagnosismethod was developed by combining correlation coefficientof SNSs with wavelet packet decomposition A series ofexperiments were conducted to diagnose rolling bearingfaults and the experimental results demonstrated that theproposed method can effectively identify the bearing faultsFor the novel fault-diagnosis method there exist two keyissues (1) extracting useful fault features by wavelet packetdecomposition (2) building the accurate SNSs models ofbearing faults In the future work the two issues will befurther improved based on the analysis of a large amount of

The above concept of a neutrosophic set (NS) is presentedfrom philosophical point of view and it takes the value fromreal standard or nonstandard subsets of ]minus0 1+[ It will bedifficult to apply ]minus0 1+[ in scientific and engineering areasFor the real applications a simplified neutrosophic set (SNS)is introduced by Ye [20] as the following definition

Definition 2 (see [20]) Let 119880 be a space of points (objects)with generic elements in 119880 denoted by 119909 A simplifiedneutrosophic set (SNS) 119860 in 119880 is characterized by a truth-membership function 119879119860(119909) an indeterminacy-membershipfunction 119868119860(119909) and a falsity-membership function119865119860(119909) Foreach point 119909 in 119880 119879119860(119909) 119868119860(119909) and 119865119860(119909) are singleton

subintervalssubsets in the real standard [0 1] such that119879119860(119909) 119868119860(119909) 119865119860(119909) isin [0 1] Then a simplified neutrosophicset (SNS) is denoted by

119860 = ⟨119909 119879119860 (119909) 119868119860 (119909) 119865119860 (119909)⟩ | 119909 isin 119880 (14)

Obviously a simplified neutrosophic set (SNS) is a sub-class of the neutrosophic set (NS) and satisfies the conditions119879119860(119909) 119868119860(119909) 119865119860(119909) 119880 rarr [0 1] and 0 le 119879119860(119909) + 119868119860(119909) +119865119860(119909) le 342 Correlation Coefficient for SNSs Correlation coefficientis an important tool for determining the correlation degreebetween fuzzy sets Therefore a new correlation coefficientof two SNSs is proposed by the following definition

Definition 3 Assume that there are two SNSs 119860 = ⟨119909119894119879119860(119909119894) 119868119860(119909119894) 119865119860(119909119894)⟩ | 119909119894 isin 119880 and 119861 = ⟨119909119894 119879119861(119909119894) 119868119861(119909119894)119865119861(119909119894)⟩ | 119909119894 isin 119880 in the universe of discourse 119880 = 1199091

1199092 119909119899 119909119894 isin 119880 A correlation coefficient between SNSs isdefined as follows

min [119879119860 (119909119894) 119879119861 (119909119894)] +min [119868119860 (119909119894) 119868119861 (119909119894)] +min [119865119860 (119909119894) 119865119861 (119909119894)]radic119879119860 (119909119894) 119879119861 (119909119894) + radic119868119860 (119909119894) 119868119861 (119909119894) + radic119865119860 (119909119894) 119865119861 (119909119894)

where the symbol ldquominrdquo is the minimum operation

According to the above definition the correlation coeffi-cient of SNSs 119860 and 119861 satisfies the following properties

(P1) 0 le 119872SNS(119860 119861) le 1

1198611 = ⟨1198901 100 001 000⟩ ⟨1198902 051 001 049⟩ ⟨1198903 008 001 092⟩ ⟨1198904 024 001 076⟩ ⟨1198905 000 001 100⟩ ⟨1198906 003 001 097⟩ ⟨1198907 005 001 095⟩ ⟨1198908 006 001 094⟩

1198612 = ⟨1198901 100 001 000⟩ ⟨1198902 039 001 061⟩ ⟨1198903 003 001 097⟩ ⟨1198904 022 001 078⟩ ⟨1198905 000 001 100⟩ ⟨1198906 001 001 100⟩ ⟨1198907 001 001 100⟩ ⟨1198908 001 001 100⟩

The correlation coefficient values between SNSs 119861119895 (119895 =1 2) and 119860119896 (119896 = 1 2 3 4) can calculated by (17) as follows

119872SNS (1198601 1198611) = 08787119872SNS (1198602 1198611) = 09483119872SNS (1198603 1198611) = 08746119872SNS (1198604 1198611) = 09819119872SNS (1198601 1198612) = 08587119872SNS (1198602 1198612) = 09714119872SNS (1198603 1198612) = 08566119872SNS (1198604 1198612) = 09590

(21)

For the fault-testing sample 1198611 119872SNS(1198604 1198611) is themaximum correlation coefficient and 119872SNS(1198602 1198611) is thesecond correlation coefficient According to the principle ofcorrelation coefficient the fault-diagnosis order is as follows

1198604 997888rarr 1198602 997888rarr 1198601 997888rarr 1198603 (22)

Therefore we can determine that the testing bearing isan inner race fault bearing By actual observing the testing

bearing inner race was covered with scratches and thereforethe diagnosis result is correct

Similarly for the fault-testing sample 1198612 the fault-diagnosis order is as follows

1198602 997888rarr 1198604 997888rarr 1198601 997888rarr 1198603 (23)

By actual checking the fault of the bearing firstly resultedfrom damage of outer race and then inner race So thediagnosis results are consistent with the actual situation

In the experiment 120 rolling bearings were used fortesting samples In order to verify the effectiveness of thefault-diagnosis method proposed in this paper we extractedthe energy eigenvalues of bearing vibration signals firstly andthen diagnosed the bearing faults using the correlation coef-ficient of SNSs and the support vector machine (SVM) [25]respectivelyThe fault-diagnosis results of rolling bearings areshown in Table 5 By comparing the diagnosis results shownin Table 5 it is clear that the diagnosis accuracy rate based onthe correlation coefficient of SNSs is much higher than theaccuracy rate based on SVM

For further comparison Table 6 lists the diagnosis resultsbased on the correlation coefficient of SNSs SVM BP andGA-BP [28] methods respectively Obviously the methodbased on the correlation coefficient of SNSs can achieve theaverage accuracy rate of 925 and it is higher than the onesbased on the other methods

The above comparisons demonstrate that the proposedmethod in this paper is effective in the bearing fault diagnosis

5 Conclusion

To diagnose rolling bearing faults a new fault-diagnosismethod was developed by combining correlation coefficientof SNSs with wavelet packet decomposition A series ofexperiments were conducted to diagnose rolling bearingfaults and the experimental results demonstrated that theproposed method can effectively identify the bearing faultsFor the novel fault-diagnosis method there exist two keyissues (1) extracting useful fault features by wavelet packetdecomposition (2) building the accurate SNSs models ofbearing faults In the future work the two issues will befurther improved based on the analysis of a large amount of

45 Results andDiscussions Todemonstrate the effectivenessof the new diagnosis method we now provide two examplesfor fault diagnosis of bearings Let us consider two testingbearing samples 1198611 and 1198612 described as neutrosophic sets

1198611 = ⟨1198901 100 001 000⟩ ⟨1198902 051 001 049⟩ ⟨1198903 008 001 092⟩ ⟨1198904 024 001 076⟩ ⟨1198905 000 001 100⟩ ⟨1198906 003 001 097⟩ ⟨1198907 005 001 095⟩ ⟨1198908 006 001 094⟩

1198612 = ⟨1198901 100 001 000⟩ ⟨1198902 039 001 061⟩ ⟨1198903 003 001 097⟩ ⟨1198904 022 001 078⟩ ⟨1198905 000 001 100⟩ ⟨1198906 001 001 100⟩ ⟨1198907 001 001 100⟩ ⟨1198908 001 001 100⟩

(20)

The correlation coefficient values between SNSs 119861119895 (119895 =1 2) and 119860119896 (119896 = 1 2 3 4) can calculated by (17) as follows

119872SNS (1198601 1198611) = 08787119872SNS (1198602 1198611) = 09483119872SNS (1198603 1198611) = 08746119872SNS (1198604 1198611) = 09819119872SNS (1198601 1198612) = 08587119872SNS (1198602 1198612) = 09714119872SNS (1198603 1198612) = 08566119872SNS (1198604 1198612) = 09590

(21)

For the fault-testing sample 1198611 119872SNS(1198604 1198611) is themaximum correlation coefficient and 119872SNS(1198602 1198611) is thesecond correlation coefficient According to the principle ofcorrelation coefficient the fault-diagnosis order is as follows

1198604 997888rarr 1198602 997888rarr 1198601 997888rarr 1198603 (22)

Therefore we can determine that the testing bearing isan inner race fault bearing By actual observing the testing

bearing inner race was covered with scratches and thereforethe diagnosis result is correct

Similarly for the fault-testing sample 1198612 the fault-diagnosis order is as follows

1198602 997888rarr 1198604 997888rarr 1198601 997888rarr 1198603 (23)

By actual checking the fault of the bearing firstly resultedfrom damage of outer race and then inner race So thediagnosis results are consistent with the actual situation

In the experiment 120 rolling bearings were used fortesting samples In order to verify the effectiveness of thefault-diagnosis method proposed in this paper we extractedthe energy eigenvalues of bearing vibration signals firstly andthen diagnosed the bearing faults using the correlation coef-ficient of SNSs and the support vector machine (SVM) [25]respectivelyThe fault-diagnosis results of rolling bearings areshown in Table 5 By comparing the diagnosis results shownin Table 5 it is clear that the diagnosis accuracy rate based onthe correlation coefficient of SNSs is much higher than theaccuracy rate based on SVM

For further comparison Table 6 lists the diagnosis resultsbased on the correlation coefficient of SNSs SVM BP andGA-BP [28] methods respectively Obviously the methodbased on the correlation coefficient of SNSs can achieve theaverage accuracy rate of 925 and it is higher than the onesbased on the other methods

The above comparisons demonstrate that the proposedmethod in this paper is effective in the bearing fault diagnosis

5 Conclusion

To diagnose rolling bearing faults a new fault-diagnosismethod was developed by combining correlation coefficientof SNSs with wavelet packet decomposition A series ofexperiments were conducted to diagnose rolling bearingfaults and the experimental results demonstrated that theproposed method can effectively identify the bearing faultsFor the novel fault-diagnosis method there exist two keyissues (1) extracting useful fault features by wavelet packetdecomposition (2) building the accurate SNSs models ofbearing faults In the future work the two issues will befurther improved based on the analysis of a large amount of

(20)

The correlation coefficient values between SNSs 119861119895 (119895 =1 2) and 119860119896 (119896 = 1 2 3 4) can calculated by (17) as follows

119872SNS (1198601 1198611) = 08787119872SNS (1198602 1198611) = 09483119872SNS (1198603 1198611) = 08746119872SNS (1198604 1198611) = 09819119872SNS (1198601 1198612) = 08587119872SNS (1198602 1198612) = 09714119872SNS (1198603 1198612) = 08566119872SNS (1198604 1198612) = 09590

(21)

For the fault-testing sample 1198611 119872SNS(1198604 1198611) is themaximum correlation coefficient and 119872SNS(1198602 1198611) is thesecond correlation coefficient According to the principle ofcorrelation coefficient the fault-diagnosis order is as follows

1198604 997888rarr 1198602 997888rarr 1198601 997888rarr 1198603 (22)

Therefore we can determine that the testing bearing isan inner race fault bearing By actual observing the testing

bearing inner race was covered with scratches and thereforethe diagnosis result is correct

Similarly for the fault-testing sample 1198612 the fault-diagnosis order is as follows

1198602 997888rarr 1198604 997888rarr 1198601 997888rarr 1198603 (23)

By actual checking the fault of the bearing firstly resultedfrom damage of outer race and then inner race So thediagnosis results are consistent with the actual situation

In the experiment 120 rolling bearings were used fortesting samples In order to verify the effectiveness of thefault-diagnosis method proposed in this paper we extractedthe energy eigenvalues of bearing vibration signals firstly andthen diagnosed the bearing faults using the correlation coef-ficient of SNSs and the support vector machine (SVM) [25]respectivelyThe fault-diagnosis results of rolling bearings areshown in Table 5 By comparing the diagnosis results shownin Table 5 it is clear that the diagnosis accuracy rate based onthe correlation coefficient of SNSs is much higher than theaccuracy rate based on SVM

45 Results andDiscussions Todemonstrate the effectivenessof the new diagnosis method we now provide two examplesfor fault diagnosis of bearings Let us consider two testingbearing samples 1198611 and 1198612 described as neutrosophic sets

1198611 = ⟨1198901 100 001 000⟩ ⟨1198902 051 001 049⟩ ⟨1198903 008 001 092⟩ ⟨1198904 024 001 076⟩ ⟨1198905 000 001 100⟩ ⟨1198906 003 001 097⟩ ⟨1198907 005 001 095⟩ ⟨1198908 006 001 094⟩

1198612 = ⟨1198901 100 001 000⟩ ⟨1198902 039 001 061⟩ ⟨1198903 003 001 097⟩ ⟨1198904 022 001 078⟩ ⟨1198905 000 001 100⟩ ⟨1198906 001 001 100⟩ ⟨1198907 001 001 100⟩ ⟨1198908 001 001 100⟩

The correlation coefficient values between SNSs 119861119895 (119895 =1 2) and 119860119896 (119896 = 1 2 3 4) can calculated by (17) as follows

119872SNS (1198601 1198611) = 08787119872SNS (1198602 1198611) = 09483119872SNS (1198603 1198611) = 08746119872SNS (1198604 1198611) = 09819119872SNS (1198601 1198612) = 08587119872SNS (1198602 1198612) = 09714119872SNS (1198603 1198612) = 08566119872SNS (1198604 1198612) = 09590

(21)

For the fault-testing sample 1198611 119872SNS(1198604 1198611) is themaximum correlation coefficient and 119872SNS(1198602 1198611) is thesecond correlation coefficient According to the principle ofcorrelation coefficient the fault-diagnosis order is as follows

1198604 997888rarr 1198602 997888rarr 1198601 997888rarr 1198603 (22)

Therefore we can determine that the testing bearing isan inner race fault bearing By actual observing the testing

bearing inner race was covered with scratches and thereforethe diagnosis result is correct

Similarly for the fault-testing sample 1198612 the fault-diagnosis order is as follows

1198602 997888rarr 1198604 997888rarr 1198601 997888rarr 1198603 (23)

By actual checking the fault of the bearing firstly resultedfrom damage of outer race and then inner race So thediagnosis results are consistent with the actual situation

In the experiment 120 rolling bearings were used fortesting samples In order to verify the effectiveness of thefault-diagnosis method proposed in this paper we extractedthe energy eigenvalues of bearing vibration signals firstly andthen diagnosed the bearing faults using the correlation coef-ficient of SNSs and the support vector machine (SVM) [25]respectivelyThe fault-diagnosis results of rolling bearings areshown in Table 5 By comparing the diagnosis results shownin Table 5 it is clear that the diagnosis accuracy rate based onthe correlation coefficient of SNSs is much higher than theaccuracy rate based on SVM

For further comparison Table 6 lists the diagnosis resultsbased on the correlation coefficient of SNSs SVM BP andGA-BP [28] methods respectively Obviously the methodbased on the correlation coefficient of SNSs can achieve theaverage accuracy rate of 925 and it is higher than the onesbased on the other methods

The above comparisons demonstrate that the proposedmethod in this paper is effective in the bearing fault diagnosis

5 Conclusion

To diagnose rolling bearing faults a new fault-diagnosismethod was developed by combining correlation coefficientof SNSs with wavelet packet decomposition A series ofexperiments were conducted to diagnose rolling bearingfaults and the experimental results demonstrated that theproposed method can effectively identify the bearing faultsFor the novel fault-diagnosis method there exist two keyissues (1) extracting useful fault features by wavelet packetdecomposition (2) building the accurate SNSs models ofbearing faults In the future work the two issues will befurther improved based on the analysis of a large amount of
