New Approach in Machine Monitoring Using Blind Source Separation

The paper presents a new approach for machine vibration analysis and health monitoring based on blind source separation (BSS). So, the problem is transferred from the original space of the measurements to the space of independent sources, where the reduced number of components is going to simplify the monitoring problem while the vibration analysis methods are going to be applied for scalar signals. The assessment of the approach on a real machine is presented in this paper.
