I. Introduction
Rotating machinery is a crucial industrial component of the modern society. For example, motors currently supply over 50% of the mechanical energy supply to industrial applications in the United States [1]. About 40% of electrical motor failure events occur due to bearing faults [2]; bearings have a significant influence on the performance and operating efficiency of rotating machines. To date, the condition monitoring of roller bearings and other rotating equipment using vibratory analysis is an established technique and the industry standard. If bearing problems can be diagnosed quickly and accurately, equipment and components can be better protected from breakage [3]–[5].
