Abstract A new method for decomposition of vibration signals measured on rotating machinery is presented in this paper. The method uses a signal measured from a number of sensors to decompose the spatial response according to the direction of the progression of motion, the frequency content and the various wavelengths. For the simple case of shaft vibration, two sensors, horizontal and vertical, are used to separate the vibration pattern into forward and backward progressing components. For the case of a rotating disc, more sensors are required to further decompose the response into different wavelengths. This allows one to monitor and to identify potentially dangerous vibration patterns exhibiting large backward components. The method is shown to provide better resolution in the time-frequency (speed of rotation) and spatial domains by separating several, usually overlapping patterns. Several analytical and experimental results demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed method.

Abstract Impulsive acoustic and vibration signals within rotating machinery are often induced by irregular impacting. Thus the detection of these impulses can be useful for fault diagnosis. Recently there is an increasing trend towards the use of higher order statistics for fault detection within mechanical systems based on the observation that impulsive signals tend to increase the kurtosis values. We show that the fourth order Wigner Moment Spectrum, called the Wigner Trispectrum, has superior detection performance to second order Wigner distribution for typical impulsive signals found in a condition monitoring application. These methods are also applied to data sets measured within a car engine and industrial gearbox.

In actual engineering applications, inevitable noise seriously affects the accuracy of fault diagnosis for rotating machinery. To effectively identify the fault classes of rotating machinery under noise interference, an efficient fault diagnosis method without additional denoising procedures is proposed. First, a one-dimensional deep residual shrinkage network, which directly takes the raw vibration signals contaminated by noise as input, is developed to realize end-to-end fault diagnosis. Then, to further enhance the noise immunity of the diagnosis model, the first layer of the model is set to a wide convolution layer to extract short time features. Moreover, an adaptive batch normalization algorithm (AdaBN) is introduced into the diagnosis model to enhance the adaptability to noise. Experimental results illustrate that the fault diagnosis model for rotating machinery based on one-dimensional deep residual shrinkage network with a wide convolution layer (1D-WDRSN) can accurately identify the fault classes even under noise interference.

In this paper, a new method to realize online wear detection of micro-milling cutters based on length fractal dimension is proposed. On the basis of expression derivation of length fractal dimension, experiments are conducted. First, several cutters with different wear condition are chosen as reference samples. Their multi-section vibration signals in time-domain are collected and the clustering domain δ of each sample are obtained based on length fractal dimensions. Then, the vibration signals of tested cutters are monitored and analysed in time domain, thus their length fractal dimension are abstracted. Comparing the length fractal dimension of tested cutters with the clustering domain δ of reference samples, the wear condition of tested cutters are detected. The experimental results show that the length fractal dimension of each tested cutter falls in the clustering domain corresponding to the actual wear condition.

Abstract Impulsive sound and vibration signals in rotating machinery are often associated with faults which lead to due to irregular impacting. Thus these impulsive sound and vibration signals can be used as indicators of machinery faults. However it is often difficult to make objective measurement of impulsive signals because of background noise signals. In order to ease the measurement of impulsive sounds embedded in background noise, we enhance the impulsive signals using adaptive signal processing and then analyze them in time and frequency domain by using time-frequency representation. This technique is applied to the diagnosis of faults within internal combustion engine and industrial gear.

Harmonic wavelet transform (HWT)and harmonic wavelet time-frequency profile plot (TFPP) is introduced firstly in practice to identify weak singularity in a signal with noise clearly. With TFPP method, emulational signal and vibration data of the rubbing of the large practical turbo-generator units are analyzed successfully, which prove that the method is effectively extract the rubbing signal feature which is can not gained by the other signal analysis methods, and the rubbing of the turbo-generator units is identified effectively.

Local oscillatory-characteristic decomposition (LOD) is a relatively new self-adaptive time-frequency analysis methodology. The method, based on local oscillatory characteristics of the signal itself uses three mathematical operations such as differential, coordinate domain transform, and piecewise linear transform to decompose the multi-component signal into a series of mono-oscillation components (MOCs), which is very suitable for processing multi-component signals. However, in the LOD method, the computational efficiency and real-time processing performance of the algorithm can be significantly improved by the use of piecewise linear transformation, but the MOC component lacks smoothness, resulting in distortion. In order to overcome the disadvantages mentioned above, the rational spline function that spline shape can be adjusted and controlled is introduced into the LOD method instead of the piecewise linear transformation, and the rational spline-local oscillatory-characteristic decomposition (RS-LOD) method is proposed in this paper. Based on the detailed illustration of the principle of RS-LOD method, the RS-LOD, LOD, and empirical mode decomposition (EMD) are compared and analyzed by simulation signals. The results show that the RS-LOD method can significantly improve the problem of poor smoothness of the MOC component in the original LOD method. Moreover, the RS-LOD method is applied to the fault feature extraction of rotating machinery for the multi-component modulation characteristics of rotating machinery fault vibration signals. The analysis results of the rolling bearing and fan gearbox fault vibration signals show that the RS-LOD method can effectively extract the fault feature of the rotating mechanical vibration signals.

The objective of this research in this paper is to investigate the feasibility of utilizing the Hilbert–Huang transform method for diagnosing the looseness faults of rotating machinery. The complicated vibration signals of rotating machinery are decomposed into finite number of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) by integrated ensemble empirical mode decomposition technique. Through the significance test, the information-contained IMFs are selected to form the neat time-frequency Hilbert spectra and the corresponding marginal Hilbert spectra. The looseness faults at different components of the rotating machinery can be diagnosed by measuring the similarities among the information-contained marginal Hilbert spectra. The fault indicator index is defined to measure the similarities among the information-contained marginal Hilbert spectra of vibration signals. By combining the statistical concept of Mahalanobis distance and cosine index, the fault indicator indices can render the similarities among the marginal Hilbert spectra to enhanced and distinguishable quantities. A test bed of rotor-bearing system is performed to illustrate the looseness faults at different mechanical components. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is evaluated by measuring the fault indicator indices among the marginal Hilbert spectra of different looseness types. The results show that the proposed diagnosis method is capable of classifying the distinction among the marginal Hilbert spectra distributions and thus identify the type of looseness fault at machinery.

Aiming at complex features of the fault rotating machinery such as nonstationary and nonlinearity, a new method for fault diagnosis based on multi-fractal was introduced. The vibration signals firstly are analyzed by multi-fractal theory and have multi-fractal characteristics. Then the area of multi-fractal spectrum S and the entropy of multi-fractal spectrum Hm were extracted as new criterions to diagnose machinery faults. Results of experimental analysis indicate that the method is effective and it provides a new way in fault diagnosis of rotating machinery.
