A New K means Grey Wolf Algorithm for Engineering Problems
Purpose: The development of metaheuristic algorithms has increased by
researchers to use them extensively in the field of business, science, and
engineering. One of the common metaheuristic optimization algorithms is called
Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO). The algorithm works based on imitation of the
wolves' searching and the process of attacking grey wolves. The main purpose of
this paper to overcome the GWO problem which is trapping into local optima.
Design or Methodology or Approach: In this paper, the K-means clustering
algorithm is used to enhance the performance of the original Grey Wolf
Optimization by dividing the population into different parts. The proposed
algorithm is called K-means clustering Grey Wolf Optimization (KMGWO).
Findings: Results illustrate the efficiency of KMGWO is superior to GWO. To
evaluate the performance of the KMGWO, KMGWO applied to solve 10 CEC2019
benchmark test functions. Results prove that KMGWO is better compared to GWO.
KMGWO is also compared to Cat Swarm Optimization (CSO), Whale Optimization
Algorithm-Bat Algorithm (WOA-BAT), and WOA, so, KMGWO achieves the first rank
in terms of performance. Statistical results proved that KMGWO achieved a
higher significant value compared to the compared algorithms. Also, the KMGWO
is used to solve a pressure vessel design problem and it has outperformed
results.
Originality/value: Results prove that KMGWO is superior to GWO. KMGWO is also
compared to cat swarm optimization (CSO), whale optimization algorithm-bat
algorithm (WOA-BAT), WOA, and GWO so KMGWO achieved the first rank in terms of
performance. Also, the KMGWO is used to solve a classical engineering problem
and it is superiorComment: 15 pages. World Journal of Engineering, 202
A New Feature Extraction Technique Based on 1D Local Binary Pattern for Gear Fault Detection
Gear fault detection is one of the underlying research areas in the field of condition monitoring of rotating machines. Many methods have been proposed as an approach. One of the major tasks to obtain the best fault detection is to examine what type of feature(s) should be taken out to clarify/improve the situation. In this paper, a new method is used to extract features from the vibration signal, called 1D local binary pattern (1D LBP). Vibration signals of a rotating machine with normal, break, and crack gears are processed for feature extraction. The extracted features from the original signals are utilized as inputs to a classifier based onNearest Neighbour ( -NN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) for three classes (normal, break, or crack). The effectiveness of the proposed approach is evaluated for gear fault detection, on the vibration data obtained from the Prognostic Health Monitoring (PHM'09) Data Challenge. The experiment results show that the 1D LBP method can extract the effective and relevant features for detecting fault in the gear. Moreover, we have adopted the LOSO and LOLO cross-validation approaches to investigate the effects of speed and load in fault detection
