Ultrasonic acoustic health monitoring of ball bearings using neural network pattern classification of power spectral density

This thesis presents a generic passive non-contact based acoustic health monitoring approach using ultrasonic acoustic emissions (UAE) to facilitate classification of bearing health via neural networks. This generic approach is applied to classifying the operating condition of conventional ball bea...
