A cyclostationarity-based wear monitoring framework of spur gears in intelligent manufacturing systems
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The gearbox is widely applied as the mechanical transmission system of intelligent manufacturing systems, such as machine tools and robotics. The harsh working environments make the gear surface prone to wear. The progression of surface wear can bring severe failures to the gear tooth, including gear tooth root crack, surface spalling of gear tooth, and tooth breaking, all of which could damage the whole transmission system. Hence, it is essential to monitor and evaluate the gear surface wear propagation. The gear wear has been proven highly relevant with the vibration second-order cyclostationary (CS2) characteristics. Therefore, this paper develops a novel cyclostationarity-based framework to monitor and evaluate gear wear propagation. More specifically, the squared envelope (SE) of the residual signal, removing deterministic components, is utilized to identify the gear wear distribution and its propagation trends, validated using the measured gear surface morphology. Moreover, a new CS2-based indicator is proposed to assess the severity of gear surface wear, achieving a high correlation with measured surface roughness: R 2 is more than 0.9. The developed cyclostationarity-based framework can comprehensively evaluate the degradation status of the gear system caused by surface wear, significantly benefiting the health management of the gear transmission system, which is of great practical value for the health management of intelligent manufacturing systems. A series of endurance tests are conducted to verify the effectiveness and superiority of the developed framework for gear wear monitoring compared with the conventional indicators.

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.
