The difference between two types are shown in scalogram and also verified by a quantitative measure of entropy. The audio recording has been carried out by using two identical microphones sited on the brakes via data acquisition unit at a sampling rate of 20 kHz, 16-bit resolution and these data are analyzed in MATLAB software. The average of the entropy values of faulty and non-faulty brakes were found to be 0.98 and 0.65, respectively. Therefore, it has been concluded that, the entropy could be used as a distinguishing tool to discriminate the faults. </span> <br /> </p>}, number={4}, publisher={Manisa Celal Bayar Üniversitesi}
