Aviation gas turbine engine bearings faults diagnosis method based on multi-parameter fusion criterion judgment and AO-PNN

The diagnosis of bearings is greatly difficult due to strong background noise and complex transmission paths. So, we designed an aviation gas turbine engine bearings fault diagnosis method. It is based on the combination of Wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) and correlation coefficient-energy ratio-kurtosis criterion judgments with AO-PNN, a probabilistic neural network (PNN) optimized by introducing the Aquila optimizer (AO). The vibration signal is firstly decomposed by WPD and reconstructed by screening Node components by correlation coefficient-energy ratio-kurtosis criterion judgment. The overlapping segmentation of reconstructed signals and the multi-scale permutation entropy of each sample are calculated as the feature vector and reduced by Kernel principal component analysis. AO-PNN is used for fault classification of fault patterns. The experimental results show that this method can effectively eliminate the interference of background noise as to improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis. Compared with the non-optimized PNN, the accuracy is improved by 11.25%.
