Novel Cyclo-Non-Stationary Indicators for Monitoring of Rotating Machinery Operating Under Speed and Load Varying Conditions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Condition monitoring arises as a valuable industrial process in order to assess the health of rotating machinery, providing early and accurate warning of potential failures and allowing for the planning and effective realization of preventative maintenance actions. Nowadays machinery (gas turbines, wind turbines etc.) manufacturers adopt new business models, providing not only the equipment itself but additionally taking on responsibilities of condition monitoring, by embedding sensors and health monitoring systems within each unit and prompting maintenance actions when necessary. Among others, rolling element bearings are one of the most critical components in rotating machinery. In complex machines the failure indications of an early bearing damage are weak compared to other sources of excitations (e.g. gears, shafts, rotors etc.). Vibration analysis is most widely used and various methods have been proposed, including analysis in the time and frequency domain. In a number of applications, changes in the operating conditions (speed/load) influence the vibration sources and change the frequency and amplitude characteristics of the vibroacoustic signature, making them nonstationary. Under changing environments, where speed and load vary, the assumption of quasi-stationary is not appropriate and as a result a number of time-frequency and time-order representations have been introduced, such as the Short Time Fourier Transform and the Wavelets. Recently an emerging interest has been focused on modelling rotating machinery signals as cyclostationary, which is a particular class of non-stationary stochastic processes. The classical cyclostationary tools, such as the Cyclic Spectral Correlation Density (CSCD) and the Cyclic Modulation Spectrum (CMS), can be used in order to extract interesting information about the cyclic behavior of cyclostationary signals, only under the assumption that the speed of machinery is constant or nearly constant. Global diagnostic indicators have been proposed as a measure of cyclostationarity under steady operating conditions. In order to overcome this limitation a generalization of both SCD and CMS functions have been proposed displaying cyclic Order versus Frequency as well as diagnostic indicators of cyclo-non-stationarity in order to cover the speed varying operating conditions. The scope of this paper is to propose a novel approach for the analysis of cyclo-non-stationary signals based on the generalization of indicators of cyclo-non-stationarity in order to cover the simultaneous and independently varying speed and load operating conditions. The effectiveness of the approach is evaluated on simulated and real signals captured on a dedicated test rig.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
