Abstract
The main purpose of this study is to identify the causes of vibration and detectable defects of bearings through sonometry using a multilayer neural network. Neural network is an intelligent method and due to its main properties, ie its high ability to estimate nonlinear functions and adaptive learning, it has been used to troubleshoot mechanical vibrations of machines, ie bearing acoustics and their frequency analysis. To collect the data, a type of healthy ball bearing cone bearing and a similar bearing with defective bullets were used and tested in desktop drills and radial-based drills in 5 different rounds. In this study, according to the network with 10 hidden layers, the signal frequency is considered as the input of the multilayer neural network and finally the bearing defects and its probable cause are determined and corrective measures are proposed.
