Early Fault Identification of Aero-engine Based on Support Vector Machines

Abstract

We proposed a new method of aero-engine early fault intelligent diagnosis which combined with stochastic resonance, wavelet packet analysis and support vector machine. This method can effectively extract the early fault feature of aero-engine and it can fast identify the early faults. At first, we use the principle of stochastic resonance to zooms the early weak fault feature signals and amplify fault features. Then, we make use of multi-resolution analysis characteristic of wavelet packet to extract the early fault feature vectors. At last, the feather vector is inputted to a classifier which is constructed by support vector machines and carries on identification of the early faults. The results shown that its effect of classification identification is well and it is effective to identify early fault in strong noise.
