Fault Diagnosis of Rolling Bearing Based on Probability box Theory and GA-SVM

For an intelligent detection of bearing failure in rotating machinery, this paper proposed a fault diagnosis method based on a probability box (p-box) and support vector machine (SVM) with a genetic algorithm (GA) algorithm. Firstly, based on vibration signals of the bearing, the different p-boxes are obtained and fused using the evidence theory. Then, the different bearing p-boxes can be classified by adopting SVM model; the GA algorithm is considered to optimize key parameters of the SVM model, i.e., GA-SVM. Finally, experimental results show that total recognition rate of this method is better than that of the traditional feature extraction method, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the current method.
