Vibration signals measured from these bearings are used to diagnose the health of the machine, but when the signal-to-noise ratio is low, it is challenging to diagnose the fault frequency. In this paper, a new method is proposed to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio by applying the Asymmetric Real Laplace wavelet Bandpass Filter (ARL-wavelet-BPF). The Gaussian function of the ARLwavelet represents an excellent BPF with smooth edges which helps to minimize the ripple effects. The bandwidth and center frequency of the ARL-wavelet-BPF are optimized using the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. Spectral kurtosis (SK) of the envelope spectrum is employed as a fitness function for the PSO algorithm which helps to track the periodic spikes generated by the fault frequency in the vibration signal. To validate the performance of the ARL-wavelet-BPF, different vibration signals with low signal-to-noise ratio are used and faults are diagnosed.}, type={Article}, title={ARL-Wavelet-BPF optimization using PSO algorithm for bearing fault diagnosis}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/128385/PDF-MASTER/art06_int.pdf}, doi={10.24425/acs.2023.146961}, keywords={signal-to-noise ratio, asymmetric real Laplace wavelet, bandpass filter, particleswarm optimization, spectral kurtosis, fault frequency}, }
