- the Gaussian White Noise, which corresponds to the vibration coming from bearings in the healthy condition,
- the Gaussian White Noise with cyclic impulses, which corresponds to the local damaged bearing,
- the non-Gaussian noise, which corresponds to the case without local damage (for the machine is in good condition and executes a specific technological process, e.g., crushing of the rock mass),
- the non-Gaussian noise with cyclic impulses, which corresponds to the damaged bearing in the presence of impulsive noise, associated with the machine operation, e.g., local fault of bearing in the crusher.
- The spectral smoothness index appeared to be numerically sensitive. If the signal is long enough and the values are mostly small in the absolute value then the value of the spectral smoothness index is infinite—this is visible as yellow areas in the map corresponding to the smoothness index.
- Infogram is based on two components, SE and SES. The first one is sensitive for the non-cyclic impulses while the SES indicates the cyclic behaviour of the signal. However, when we take their mean value, then infogram does not give the expected information about the local damage, because the scoring works in favour of non-cyclical impulses. Thus, the results obtained for the real (and simulated) signal indicate that the classical infogram needs to be improved to be more sensitive for the cyclic impulses related to damage than for the non-cyclic ones, which usually have bigger amplitudes. The weighted infogram can be introduced. This is the plan for our future research.
- The kurtosis-based selectors fail as predicted, due to the fact that the kurtosis is very sensitive to outliers, which in the considered cases are the random, non-cyclic impulses with relatively high amplitudes (higher than the cyclic informative impulses). If the amplitudes of impulses are higher, then the value of the kurtosis grows.
- For the presented real data, the amplitude and number of non-cyclical impulses are not very large, thus such selectors as Alpha and CVB selectors, as well as the spectral Gini index, can be successfully used. However, if these values increase (as we have in case 4 for simulated data) then it seems that CVB selector outperforms the other techniques.
