Bearing failure is one of the most important causes of breakdown of rotating machinery. These failures can lead to catastrophic disasters or result in costly downtime. One of the key problems in bearing fault diagnosis is to detect the bearing fault as early as possible. This capability enables the operator to have enough time to do some preventive maintenance. Most papers investigate the bearing faults under rational assumption that bearings work individually. However, bearings are usually working as a part of complex systems like a gearbox. The fault signal of bearings can be easily masked by other vibration generated from gears and shafts. The proposed method separates bearing signals from other signals, and then the optimum frequency band which the bearing fault signal is prominent is determined by mean envelope Kurtosis. Subsequently, the envelope analysis is used to detect the bearing faults. Finally, two bearing fault experiments are used to validate the proposed method. Each experiment contains two bearing fault modes, inner race fault and outer race fault. The results demonstrate that the proposed method can detect the bearing fault easier than spectral Kurtosis and envelope Kurtosis.

As a useful tool to detect protrusion buried in signals, kurtosis has a wide application in engineering, for example, in bearing fault diagnosis. Spectral kurtosis (SK) can further indicate the presence of a series of transients and their locations in the frequency domain. The factors influencing kurtosis values are first analyzed, leading to the conclusion that amplitude, not the frequency of signals, and noise make major contribution to kurtosis values. It is helpful to detect impulsive components if the components with big amplitude are removed from composite signals. Based on this cognition, an adaptive SK algorithm is proposed in this paper. The core steps of the proposed SK algorithm are to find maxima, add window around maxima, merge windows in the frequency domain, and then filter signals according to the merged window in the time domain. The parameters of the proposed SK algorithm are varying adaptively with signals. Some experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Variational mode decomposition has been widely applied to machinery fault diagnosis during these years. However, it remains difficult to set proper hyperparameters for the variational mode decomposition, including number of decomposed modes, initial center frequencies, and balance parameter. Moreover, the low efficiency of the existing variational mode decomposition methods hinders their applications to practical diagnostic task. This article proposes an adaptive and efficient variational mode decomposition method after thoroughly investigating its convergence property characteristic. A convergent tendency phenomenon is discovered and is explained mathematically for the first time. Motivated by the convergent tendency phenomenon, the proposed method rapidly and adaptively determines the number and the optimal initial center frequencies of signal latent modes with the guidance of the convergent tendencies of the initial center frequencies changing from small to large. In the proposed method, the number of decomposed modes and initial center frequencies are not hyperparameters that require to be set in advance any more, but are parameters learned from the analyzed signals. The determined parameters enable efficient extraction of the main latent modes contained in the analyzed signals. Therefore, the proposed variational mode decomposition method represents a major improvement in parameter adaption and decomposition efficiency over the existing variational mode decomposition methods. In the application for bearing fault diagnosis, the faulty modes are selected adaptively and the corresponding balance parameters are further optimized efficiently. Two experimental cases validate the proposed method and its superiority over the existing variational mode decomposition methods and the classical fast spectral kurtosis in bearing fault diagnosis.
