Abstract : Vibration signals extracted from rotating parts of machineries carries lot many information with in them about the condition of the operating machine. Further processing of these raw vibration signatures measured at a convenient location of the machine unravels the condition of the component or assembly under study. This paper deals with the effectiveness of wavelet-based features for fault diagnosis of a gear box using artificial neural network (ANN) and proximal support vector machines (PSVM). The statistical feature vectors from Morlet wavelet coefficients are classified using J48 algorithm and the predominant features were fed as input for training and testing ANN and PSVM and their relative efficiency in classifying the faults in the bevel gear box was compared.
