The kurtogram is a spectral analysis tool used to detect non-stationarities in a signal. It can be effectively used to determine the optimal filter for bearing fault feature extraction from a blurred vibration signal, since the transients of the bearing fault-induced signal can be regarded as non-stationary. However, the effectiveness of the kurtogram is diminished when the signal is collected from a bearing operating under time-varying speed conditions. There is a need to improve the performance of the kurtogram under time-varying speed conditions. In this paper, a short-time kurtogram method is proposed for bearing fault feature extraction under time-varying speed conditions. The performance of the short-time kurtogram is examined with experimental data. The results demonstrate that the short-time kurtogram can effectively be used to extract bearing fault features under time-varying speed conditions.

Fault Feature Extraction

Vibration analysis has been extensively used as an effective tool for bearing condition monitoring. The vibration signal collected from a defective bearing is, however, a mixture of several signal components including the fault feature (i.e. fault-induced impulses), periodic interferences from other mechanical/electrical components, and background noise. The incipient impulses which excite as well as modulate the resonance frequency of the system are easily masked by compounded effects of periodic interferences and noise, making it challenging to do a reliable fault diagnosis. As such, this paper proposes an envelope demodulation method termed short time fractal dimension (STFD) transform for fault feature extraction from such vibration signal mixture. STFD transform calculation related issues are first addressed. Then, by STFD, the original signal can be quickly transformed into a STFD representation, where the envelope of fault-induced impulses becomes more pronounced whereas interferences are partly weakened due to their morphological appearance differences. It has been found that the lower the interference frequency, the less effect the interference has on STFD representations. When interference frequency keeps increasing, more effects on STFD representations will be resulted. Such effects can be reduced by the proposed kurtosis-based peak search algorithm (KPSA). Therefore, bearing fault signature is kept and interferences are further weakened in the STFD-KPSA representation. The proposed method has been favourably compared with two widely used enveloping methods, i.e. multi-morphological analysis and energy operator, in terms of extracting impulse envelopes from vibration signals obscured by multiple interferences. Its performance has also been examined using both simulated and experimental data.

Nowadays, the fault diagnosis of rolling bearing in aeroengines is based on the vibration signal measured on casing, instead of bearing block. However, the vibration signal of the bearing is often covered by a series of complex components caused by other structures (rotor, gears). Therefore, when bearings cause failure, it is still not certain that the fault feature can be extracted from the vibration signal on casing. In order to solve this problem, a novel fault feature extraction method for rolling bearing based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and the difference spectrum of singular value is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the vibration signal is decomposed by EMD. Next, the difference spectrum of singular value method is applied. The study finds that each peak on the difference spectrum corresponds to each component in the original signal. According to the peaks on the difference spectrum, the component signal of the bearing fault can be reconstructed. To validate the proposed method, the bearing fault data collected on the casing are analyzed. The results indicate that the proposed rolling bearing diagnosis method can accurately extract the fault feature that is submerged in other component signals and noise.

In order to obtain the characteristic parameters reflecting fault state of high-speed automaton (HSA), the fault feature extraction method based on motion morphology decomposition and wavelet packet transform (WPT) was presented. According to the movement law of the automaton, the vibration signal generated in three bursts of fire was decomposed into three separate signals, then the response signal in each shooting is a separate signal. Then using WPT to respectively extract wavelet packet energy from three separate signals as the fault characteristic parameters of HSA. By the example, the results show that the extracted fault features can well reflect the working conditions of automaton. Thus the proposed method could be used to extract the fault feature of automaton for monitoring the condition and diagnosing the fault of automaton.

Determining the embedded dimension of a singular value decomposition Hankel matrix and selecting the singular values representing the intrinsic information of fault features are challenging tasks. Given these issues, this work presents a singular value decomposition-based automatic fault feature extraction method that uses the probability-frequency density information criterion (PFDIC) and dual beetle antennae search (DBAS). DBAS employs embedded dimension and singular values as dynamic variables and PFDIC as a two-stage objective to optimize the best parameters. The optimization results work for singular value decomposition for bearing fault feature extraction. The extracted fault signals combined with envelope demodulation can efficiently diagnose bearing faults. The superiority and applicability of the proposed method are validated by simulation signals, engineering signals, and comparison experiments. Results demonstrate that the proposed method can sufficiently extract fault features and accurately diagnose faults.

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.

For early fault detection of a bearing, the localized defect generally brings a complex vibration signal, so it is difficult to detect the periodic transient characteristics from the signal spectrum using conventional bearing fault diagnosis methods. Therefore, many matrix analysis technologies, such as singular value decomposition (SVD) and reweighted SVD (RSVD), were proposed recently to solve this problem. However, such technologies also face failure in bearing fault detection due to the poor interpretability of the obtained eigenvector. Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF), as a part-based representation algorithm, can extract low-rank basis spaces with natural sparsity from the time–frequency representation. It performs excellent interpretability of the factor matrices due to its non-negative constraints. By this virtue, NMF can extract the fault feature by separating the frequency bands of resonance regions from the amplitude spectrogram automatically. In this paper, a new feature extraction method based on sparse kernel NMF (KNMF) was proposed to extract the fault features from the amplitude spectrogram in greater depth. By decomposing the amplitude spectrogram using the kernel-based NMF model with L1 regularization, sparser spectral bases can be obtained. Using KNMF with the linear kernel function, the time–frequency distribution of the vibration signal can be decomposed into a subspace with different frequency bands. Thus, we can extract the fault features, a series of periodic impulses, from the decomposed subspace according to the sparse frequency bands in the spectral bases. As a result, the proposed method shows a very high performance in extracting fault features, which is verified by experimental investigations and benchmarked by the Fast Kurtogram, SVD and NMF-based methods.

The vibration of a planetary gearbox (PG) is complex and mutually modulated, which makes the weak features of incipient fault difficult to detect. To target this problem, a novel method, based on an adaptive order bispectrum slice (AOBS) and the fault characteristics energy ratio (FCER), is proposed. The order bispectrum (OB) method has shown its effectiveness in the feature extraction of bearings and fixed-shaft gearboxes. However, the effectiveness of the PG still needs to be explored. The FCER is developed to sum up the fault information, which is scattered by mutual modulation. In this method, the raw vibration signal is firstly converted to that in the angle domain. Secondly, the characteristic slice of AOBS is extracted. Different from the conventional OB method, the AOBS is extracted by searching for a characteristic carrier frequency adaptively in the sensitive range of signal coupling. Finally, the FCER is summed up and calculated from the fault features that were dispersed in the characteristic slice. Experimental data was processed, using both the AOBS-FCER method, and the method that combines order spectrum analysis with sideband energy ratio (OSA-SER), respectively. Results indicated that the new method is effective in incipient fault feature extraction, compared with the methods of OB and OSA-SER.
