Enhanced Condition Monitoring of Gearboxes using Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation and Group Decision-making: A Case Study

Abstract In this study, we introduce a novel methodology for the condition monitoring of gearboxes by integrating fuzzy comprehensive evaluation and group decision-making. Traditional risk assessment methods often suffer from subjective biases and uncertainties inherent in expert evaluations. Our approach mitigates these limitations by aggregating expert opinions using fuzzy membership functions and assigning weights based on the similarity of individual evaluations to the group consensus. This converts qualitative judgments into quantitative measures, resulting in more precise and objective Risk Priority Numbers (RPNs). We validate the efficacy of our methodology through a case study involving a gearbox. The primary failure modes identified include gear tooth wear, misalignment, bearing failure, lubrication failure, and thermal overload. Our results indicate a significant improvement in condition monitoring accuracy, with calculated fuzzy RPN values closely aligning with historical data and expert feedback. Comparative analysis highlights the advantages of our methodology over conventional RPN calculations, particularly in reducing subjective biases and enhancing the reliability of risk assessments. Our findings demonstrate that this methodology can be effectively applied in various industrial settings, establishing a robust framework for mechanical system condition monitoring. Future research should explore integrating advanced data analytics and machine learning techniques to enhance the methodology's accuracy and efficiency.
