Relevance of Correlation Dimension and Kolmogorov Entropy in the State Discriminant of Gearbox

This paper introduces the basic principles and calculation methods for the correlation dimension and Kolmogorov entropy. By calculating the correlation dimension and Kolmogorov entropy when the gear is under different working conditions, we can analyze the inherent relationship between the two in depicting of the running condition of the gearbox. The result shows that,the correlation dimension and Kolmogorov entropy have a good consistency in the description of working status of gearbox. This conclusion not only provides a good basis for the gearbox running condition judgment and fault diagnosing, but can also provide the experimental basis for the chaotic characteristic parameters selection in state monitoring and fault diagnosing.
