Variational mode decomposition (VMD) with a non-recursive and narrow-band filtering nature is a promising time-frequency analysis tool, which can deal effectively with a non-stationary and complicated compound signal. Nevertheless, the factitious parameter setting in VMD is closely related to its decomposability. Moreover, VMD has a certain endpoint effect phenomenon. Hence, to overcome these drawbacks, this paper presents a novel time-frequency analysis algorithm termed as improved adaptive variational mode decomposition (IAVMD) for rotor fault diagnosis. First, a waveform matching extension is employed to preprocess the left and right boundaries of the raw compound signal instead of mirroring the extreme extension. Then, a grey wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm is employed to determine the inside parameters ( α ^ , K) of VMD, where the minimization of the mean of weighted sparseness kurtosis (WSK) is regarded as the optimized target. Meanwhile, VMD with the optimized parameters is used to decompose the preprocessed signal into several mono-component signals. Finally, a Teager energy operator (TEO) with a favorable demodulation performance is conducted to efficiently estimate the instantaneous characteristics of each mono-component signal, which is aimed at obtaining the ultimate time-frequency representation (TFR). The efficacy of the presented approach is verified by applying the simulated data and experimental rotor vibration data. The results indicate that our approach can provide a precise diagnosis result, and it exhibits the patterns of time-varying frequency more explicitly than some existing congeneric methods do (e.g., local mean decomposition (LMD), empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and wavelet transform (WT) ).

In view of the characteristics of the non-stationary and multi-component AM-FM signals of vibration signals in the rolling element bearing, the generalized demodulation time-frequency analysis method is used for its fault diagnosis, overcoming the problem that the maximal overlap discrete wavelet packet transform (MODWPT) has no adaptability. First of all, the original vibration signal is took preprocessing by generalized Fourier; Then, using MODWPT to decompose signals after pretreatment and obtaining weights; Once again, the weights are carried out the inverse generalized Fourier transform to get the weights of the original signal; Finally, reconstructing principal component of the original signal to get the Hilbert instantaneous energy spectrum, roller bearing fault diagnoses based on the Hilbert instantaneous energy spectrum. The experimental results show that the method can effectively diagnose rolling bearing fault.

Feature extraction is one of the most difficult aspects of mechanical fault diagnosis, and it is directly related to the accuracy of bearing fault diagnosis. In this study, improved permutation entropy (IPE) is defined as the feature for bearing fault diagnosis. In this method, ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), a self-adaptive time-frequency analysis method, is used to process the vibration signals, and a set of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) can thus be obtained. A feature extraction strategy based on statistical analysis is then presented for IPE, where the so-called optimal number of permutation entropy (PE) values used for an IPE is adaptively selected. The obtained IPE-based samples are then input to a support vector machine (SVM) model. Subsequently, a trained SVM can be constructed as the classifier for bearing fault diagnosis. Finally, experimental vibration signals are applied to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, and the results show that the proposed method can effectively and accurately diagnose bearing faults, such as inner race faults, outer race faults, and ball faults.
