Abstract.

Different faults in internal combustion engines leads to excessive fuel consumption, pollution, acoustic emission and wear of engine components. Detection of fault is also difficult for maintenance technicians due to broad range of faults and combination of the faults. In this research the faults due to malfunction of manifold absolute pressure, knock sensor and misfire are detected and classified by analyzing vibration signals. The vibration signals acquired from engine block were preprocessed by wavelet analysis, and signal energy is considered as a distinguishing property to classify these faults by a Multi-Layer Perceptron Neural Network (MLPNN). The designed MLPNN can classify these faults with almost 100 % efficiency.

Keywords: fault diagnosis, internal combustion engine, neural networks, energy, wavelet transform.
