Using the Gottwald and Melbourne’s 0-1 test and the Hugichi fractal dimension to detect chaos in defective and healthy ball bearings

Abstract

The paper considers the identification of chaotic behavior dynamics using the data extracted from an experimental model of rotor supported on rolling elements. A description of the methodis provided as well as an illustration using a standard dynamic map. The 0-1 test for chaos and the Higuchi dimension are shown to be effective tool in the identification of chaotic behavior of the systembearing with and without faults.
