Classification of fault severity in gearboxes using Acoustic Emission (AE) signals is challenging because such represent a highly non-linear and possibly chaotic system. Due to the common assumption linearity, statistical features extracted from these systems are suboptimal for classification severity. Hence, this paper uses Poincaré plot (PP) extract useful classify type gearboxes. For development, four types were applied over different gears then tested on an experimental condition...
