Fault Diagnosis of Piezoelectric Sensor Patches for Vibration Control Based on Multifeature Fusion and Improved SVM by Tian-bing Ma, Zhou Qing, Du Fei, Liu Jian

“…Firstly, under the excitation of the square wave signal with no noise signal, when the SVD value and the maximum amplitude of Hilbert marginal spectrum are used as the fusion eigenvalue together, the diagnostic results show that the recognition accuracy can reach 95%, compared with the recognition accuracy of 70% and 80%, respectively, when the two are used as eigenvalues alone; the recognition result under fusion eigenvalue is obviously better than that of the latter. …”
