During the operation process of a gearbox, the vibration signals can reflect the dynamic states of the gearbox. The feature extraction of the vibration signal will directly influence the accuracy and effectiveness of fault diagnosis. One major challenge associated with the extraction process is the mode mixing, especially under such circumstance of intensive frequency. A novel fault diagnosis method based on frequency-modulated empirical mode decomposition is proposed in this paper. Firstly, several stationary intrinsic mode functions can be obtained after the initial vibration signal is processed using frequency-modulated empirical mode decomposition method. Using the method, the vibration signal feature can be extracted in unworkable region of the empirical mode decomposition. The method has the ability to separate such close frequency components, which overcomes the major drawback of the conventional methods. Numerical simulation results showed the validity of the developed signal processing method. Secondly, energy entropy was calculated to reflect the changes in vibration signals in relation to faults. At last, the energy distribution could serve as eigenvector of support vector machine to recognize the dynamic state and fault type of the gearbox. The analysis results from the gearbox signals demonstrate the effectiveness and veracity of the diagnosis approach.

In this article, a fault diagnosis approach for a pantograph is developed with collected vibration data from a test rig. Ensemble empirical mode decomposition is used to decompose the signals to get intrinsic mode function, and four kinds of entropies (permu1tation entropy, approximate entropy, sample entropy, and fuzzy entropy) reflecting the working state are extracted as the inputs of the support vector machine based on particle swarm optimization algorithm support vector machine. The effect of data length, embedded dimension, and other parameters on calculation of the entropy value has also been studied. Multiple feature ranking criteria are used to select the useful features and improve the fault diagnosis accuracy of certain measurement points. Experimental results on pantograph vibration analysis have then confirmed that the proposed method provides an effective measure for pantograph diagnosis.

A novel systematic framework, infrared thermography- (IRT-) based method, for rotating machinery fault diagnosis under nonstationary running conditions is presented in this paper. In this framework, IRT technique is first applied to obtain the thermograph. Then, the fault features are extracted using bag-of-visual-word (BoVW) from the IRT images. In the end, support vector machine (SVM) is utilized to automatically identify the fault patterns of rotating machinery. The effectiveness of proposed method is evaluated using lab experimental signal of rotating machinery. The diagnosis results show that the IRT-based method has certain advantages in classification rotating machinery faults under nonstationary running conditions compared with the traditional vibration-based method.

In this paper, a novel intelligent fault diagnosis method based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD), fuzzy feature extraction and support vector machines (SVM) is proposed. The method consists of two stages. In the first stage, intrinsic mode components are obtained with EMD from original signals and converted into fuzzy feature vectors, and then the mechanical fault can be detected. In the second stage, these extracted fuzzy feature vectors are input into the multi-classification SVM to identify the different abnormal cases. The proposed method is applied to the classification of a turbo-generator set under three different operating conditions. Testing results show that the classification accuracy of the proposed model is greatly improved compared with the multi-classification SVM without feature extraction and the multi-classification SVM with extracting the fuzzy feature from wavelet packets, and the faults of steam turbo-generator set can be correctly and rapidly diagnosed using this model.
