Measured vibration signals from rolling element bearings with defects are generally nonstationary, and are multiscale in nature owing to contributions from events with different localization in time and frequency. This paper presents a novel approach to characterize the multiscale signature via empirical mode decomposition (EMD) for rolling bearing localized defect evaluation. Vibration signal measured from a rolling element bearing is first adaptively decomposed by the EMD to achieve a series of usable intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) carrying the bearing health information at multiple scales. Then the localized defect-induced IMF is selected from all the IMFs based on a variance regression approach. The multiscale signature, called multiscale slope feature, is finally estimated from the regression line fitted over logarithmic variances of the IMFs excluding the defect IMF. The presented feature reveals the pattern of energy transfer among multiple scales due to localized defects, representing an inherent self-similar signature of the bearing health information that is embedded on multiple analyzed scales. Experimental results verify the performance of the proposed multiscale feature, and further discussions are provided.

Health Diagnosis

This paper presents a signal decomposition and feature extraction technique for the health diagnosis of rotary machines, based on the empirical mode decomposition. Vibration signal measured from a defective rolling bearing is decomposed into a number of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), with each IMF corresponding to a specific range of frequency components contained within the vibration signal. Two criteria, the energy measure and correlation measure, are investigated to determine the most representative IMF for extracting defect-induced characteristic features out of vibration signals. The envelope spectrum of the selected IMF is investigated as an indicator for both the existence and the specific location of structural defects within the bearing. Theoretical foundation of the technique is introduced, and its performance is experimentally verified.

Fault Feature Extraction

The vibration signal of an early rolling bearing is nonstationary and nonlinear, and the fault signal is weak and difficult to extract. To address this problem, this paper proposes a genetic mutation particle swarm optimization variational mode decomposition (GMPSO-VMD) algorithm and applies it to rolling bearing vibration signal fault feature extraction. Firstly, the minimum envelope entropy is used as the objective function of the GMPSO to find the optimal parameter combination of the VMD algorithm. Then, the optimized VMD algorithm is used to decompose the vibration signal of the rolling bearing and several intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) are obtained. The envelope spectrum analysis of GMPSO-VMD decomposed rolling bearing fault signal IMF1 was carried out. Moreover, the feature frequency of the four fault states of the rolling bearing are extracted accurately. Finally, the GMPSO-VMD algorithm is utilized to analyze the simulation signal and rolling bearing fault vibration signal. The effectiveness of the GMPSO-VMD algorithm is verified by comparing it with the fixed parameter VMD (FP-VMD) algorithm, complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) algorithm and empirical mode decomposition (EMD) algorithm.

A bearing fault diagnosis approach based on spectral kurtosis and empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is proposed. EMD is a signal decomposition technique, which can adaptively separate a number of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) from the vibration signal according to the architectural characteristics of the data. The spectral kurtosis parameter takes as signal impulsive indicator. Firstly, EMD is utilized to process the sampling vibration signal. And then spectral kurtosis is calculated to select the optimal intrinsic mode functions, so as to suppress the noise and highlight the transient impact feature. Finally, the envelope spectrum is computed and the fault characteristic is recognized. The experimental results show that the proposed approach can identify bearing defects effectively and provide a reliable method for gearbox fault monitoring and diagnosis.

A novel methodology for the fault diagnosis of rolling bearing in strong background noise, based on sensitive intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) selection of ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and adaptive stochastic resonance, is proposed. The original vibration signal is decomposed into a group of IMFs and a residual trend item by EEMD. Constructing weighted kurtosis index difference spectrum (WKIDS) to adaptively select sensitive IMFs, this method can overcome the shortcomings of the existing methods such as subjective choice or need to determine a threshold using the correlation coefficient. To further reduce noise and enhance weak characteristics, the adaptive stochastic resonance is employed to amplify each sensitive IMF. Then, the ensemble average is used to eliminate the stochastic noise. The simulation and rolling element bearing experiment with an inner fault are performed to validate the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method not only overcomes the difficulty of choosing sensitive IMFs, but also, combined with adaptive stochastic resonance, can better enhance the weak fault characteristics. Moreover, the proposed method is better than EEMD and adaptive stochastic resonance of each sensitive IMF, demonstrating the feasibility of the proposed method in highly noisy environments.

Vibration Signal Analysis

Owing to the problem of the incipient fault characteristics being difficult to be extracted from the raw vibration signal of rolling element bearing, based on the empirical mode decomposition and kurtosis criteria, a fault diagnosis method for rolling element bearing is proposed by reducing rolling element bearing foundation vibration and noise-assisted vibration signal analysis. Firstly, rolling element bearing vibration signal is decomposed into a set of intrinsic mode functions using empirical mode decomposition and the intrinsic mode function component with the maximal kurtosis value is selected. Afterwards, zero mean normalization is applied to the selected intrinsic mode function component, and then the intrinsic mode function’s foundation vibration components within [Formula: see text] are removed to minimize the interference. In order to eliminate interruption and intermittency after removal of the foundation vibration components, white noise is added to the newly generated signal. The noise-added signal is decomposed via empirical mode decomposition, and later on, IMF1 with the highest frequency band is selected and demodulated using envelope analysis. The resulting envelope spectrum can show more significant fault pulse characteristics, which are highly helpful to diagnose the rolling element bearing incipient faults. The proposed method in this paper was applied to the fault diagnosis for low noise REB 6203 and the testing results showed that the method could identify the rolling element bearing incipient faults accurately and quickly.

The vibration signals of rolling element bearings are non-linear and non-stationary and the corresponding fault features are difficult to be extracted. EEMD (Ensemble empirical mode decomposition) is effective to detect bearing faults. In the present investigation, MEEMD (Modified EEMD) is presented to diagnose the outer and inner race faults of bearings. The original vibration signals are analyzed using IMFs (intrinsic mode functions) extracted by MEEMD decomposition and Hilbert spectrum in the proposed method. The numerical and experimental results of the comparison between MEEMD and EEMD indicate that the proposed method is more effective to extract the fault features of outer and inner race of bearings than EEMD.

In order to improve the effectiveness for identifying rolling bearing faults at an early stage, the present paper proposed a method that combined the so-called complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD) method with a correlation theory for fault diagnosis of rolling element bearing. The cross-correlation coefficient between the original signal and each intrinsic mode function (IMF) was calculated in order to reduce noise and select an effective IMF. Using the present method, a rolling bearing fault experiment with vibration signals measured by acceleration sensors was carried out, and bearing inner race and outer race defect at a varying rotating speed with different degrees of defect were analyzed. And the proposed method was compared with several algorithms of empirical mode decomposition (EMD) to verify its effectiveness. Experimental results showed that the proposed method was available for detecting the bearing faults and able to detect the fault at an early stage. It has higher computational efficiency and is capable of overcoming modal mixing and aliasing. Therefore, the proposed method is more suitable for rolling bearing diagnosis.
