Abstract

The article is devoted to the application of machine learning methods for the analysis of vibration acceleration signals in bolted joints that occur under impact. The relevance of the work is due to the need to ensure the reliability and operability of bolted joints under loads. One of the promising areas of non-destructive testing is the analysis of the characteristics of vibration acceleration signals that change with changes in the state of structures, for example, with an increase in the tightening torque. This allows for the timely detection of possible defects and the prevention of emergency situations, ensuring the safety and durability of structures. The vibration acceleration signals under impact action on a bolted joint were analyzed. After calculating the signal characteristics, data sets were formed, including the values of tightening torques and the corresponding calculated signal characteristics, a search for a correlation between the tightening torque of bolted joints and the obtained set of vibration signal parameters was carried out. The frequency spectrum of signals, the Higuchi fractal dimension, detrended fluctuations, spectral power density and position of signal peaks were calculated. Machine learning models such as decision trees, the nearest neighbor method, the k-means method and neural networks were used for the analysis. For these methods, an optimal set of parameters correlating with the tightening torque was searched for. The main results show that machine learning methods are effective in classifying signals and finding correlations with stress state parameters. They allow us to detect the relationship between a set of signal characteristics and tightening torque, which opens up opportunities for more accurate and reliable monitoring of the condition of bolted connections. This should help to increase their operational reliability and durability, as well as reduce the likelihood of failures and accidents. The use of such methods can improve the quality of monitoring and diagnostics of bolted connections.
