Abstract

Abstract: Driven by the potential application of sliding bearings under wear-and fatigue-critical operating conditions, i.e. in planetary gearboxes for wind turbines or automotive engines with start-stop systems, the reliability and lifetime prognosis of heavy loaded sliding bearings under low rotational speeds is an emerging field of research. The application of machine learning (ML) offers a great potential for all kinds of engineering applications when physical models are not feasible due to their complexity. This study showcases the application of ML to wear and fatigue fault detection and lifetime prognosis for sliding bearings using acoustic emission signals.
