The accurate description of acoustic emission signals produced by the localized fault of a rolling element bearing plays an important role in its feature extraction and analysis. This paper analyzes the excitation mechanisms and develops the analytical model of acoustic emission signals produced when the rolling element bearing passes across the localized fault on the inner or outer race. Based on the analytical model, the spectral characteristics are discussed substantially. Simulations and experiments are carried out to validate the efficacy of the model developed in the paper. The experimental results show that the response signal thus produced has two parts. The first one is produced by the entry of the rolling element bearing, while the other is produced by the departure of the rolling element bearing. The energy of both parts is concentrated around the resonance frequency of the acoustic emission transducer. Generally, the interval of adjacent acoustic emission events is not equivalent to each other and the corresponding spectrum is continuous in the high frequency band.

The vibration response of rolling element bearing has a close relation with its fault. An accurate evaluation of the bearing vibration response is essential to the bearing fault diagnosis. At present, most bearing dynamics models are built based on rigid assumptions, which may not faithfully reveal the dynamic characteristics of bearing in the presence of fault. Moreover, previous similar works mainly focus on the fault with a specified size without considering the varying contact characteristics as the fault evolves. This paper developed an explicit dynamics finite element model for the bearing with three types of raceway faults considering the flexibility of each bearing component in order to accurately study the contact characteristic and vibration mechanism of defective bearings in the process of fault evolution. The developed model is validated by comparing its simulation results with both analytical and experimental results. The dynamic contact patterns between the rolling elements and the fault, the additional displacement due to the fault and the faulty characteristics within the bearing vibration signal during the fault evolution process are investigated. The analysis results from this work can provide practitioners an in-depth understanding towards the internal contact characteristics with the existence of raceway fault and theoretical basis for rolling bearing fault diagnosis.

The cepstrum edit scheme for the vibration feature extraction of the faulty rolling element bearing (REB) is studied in this paper. By combined the time synchronous average (TSA) and the real cepstrum to localize and edit the cepstral lines of the original vibration, the unwanted discrete frequency components can be removed. Then, a corresponding inverse procedure is designed, in which the edited cepstrum and the original phase spectrum are employed to reconstruct the edited vibration for the REB feature extraction. Simulation verified the scheme positively.
