Using MATLAB for Bearing Fault Analysis

Ball Bearings can have several faults, which result in different signals. This program shows this.

You are now following this Submission

A ball bearing is comprised of an inner and an outer ring. A fault in each one of them can cause the resonance frequencies of the bearing to awake.
This program has a simple GUI with which you can investigate bearing faults in the inner or outer ring.
Using Signal Processing algorithms, you can view the activated frequecies, the frequecy-time spectrogram, the Kurtosis values and the signals in the fault and the system's reaction.
This program is fully documented, along with an HTML to get you started.
