Wavelet Techniques

This paper introduces an efficient and powerful approach to fault detection in rotating machinery using time-frequency analysis based on the wavelet transform of the monitored shaft vibration signal. Wavelet techniques are one of the latest powerful tools in analyzing the transient information for condition monitoring and fault detection using vibration signature. The proposed technique combines both the Continuous Wavelet and the Wavelet Packet Transforms. In particular, it exploits the use of the modulus of the local maxima lines in the wavelet domain, to detect impulsive mechanical faults through shaft vibration such as impact blade-to-stator rubbing in turbo machinery. The proposed new wavelet-based signal processing method was able to detect the singularity in the measured shaft vibration, which was generated by blade rubbing. The singularity detection achieved by the new method was very well supported by its counterpart based on the direct blade vibration measurements. Our proposed technique was favorably compared with both the time wave and the traditional Fourier Transform techniques. In fact, both the analysis and the extensive simulation work show the superiority of the combined approach (Wavelet Packet Transform and Maxima Lines) over the traditional Fourier-based method, in reliably diagnosing impulsive mechanical faults.

The stator inter-turn short circuit fault is one of the most common and key faults in permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). This paper introduces a time–frequency method for inter-turn fault detection in stator winding of PMSM using improved wavelet packet transform. Both stator current signal and vibration signal are used for the detection of short circuit faults. Two different experimental data from a three-phase PMSM were processed and analyzed by this time–frequency method in LabVIEW. The feasibility of this approach is shown by the experimental test.

In order to overcome the shortcomings (such as the time–frequency localization and the nonstationary signal analysis ability) of the Fourier transform, time–frequency analysis has been carried out by wavelet packet decomposition and reconstruction according to the actual nonstationary vibration signal from a large equipment located in a large Steel Corporation in this article. The effect of wavelet decomposition on signal denoising and the selection of high-frequency weight coefficients for each layer on signal denoising were analyzed. The nonlinear prediction of the chaotic time series was made by global method, local method, weighted first-order local method, and maximum Lyapunov exponent prediction method correspondingly. It was found the multi-step prediction method is better than other prediction methods.

Modern machinery becomes more precious with the advance of science, and fault diagnosis is vital for avoiding economical losses or casualties. Among massive diagnosis methods, deep learning algorithms stand out to open an era of intelligent fault diagnosis. Deep residual networks are the state-of-the-art deep learning models which can continuously improve performance by deepening the network structures. However, in vibration-based fault diagnosis, the transient property instability of vibration signal usually calls for time–frequency analysis methods, and the characters of time–frequency matrices are distinct from standard images, which brings some natural limitations for the diagnosis performance of deep learning algorithms. To handle this issue, an enhanced deep residual network named the multilevel correlation stack-deep residual network is proposed in this article. Wavelet packet transform is used to preprocess the sensor signal, and then the proposed multilevel correlation stack-deep residual network uses kernels with different shapes to fully dig various kinds of useful information from any local regions of the processed input. Experiments on two rolling bearing datasets are carried out. Test results show that the multilevel correlation stack-deep residual network exhibits a more satisfactory classification performance than original deep residual networks and other similar methods, revealing significant potentials for realistic fault diagnosis applications.

Hilbert Huang Transform

Signal processing is an integral part in signal-based fault diagnosis of rotary machinery. Signal processing converts the raw data into useful features to make the diagnostic operations. These features should be independent from the normal working conditions of the machine and the external noise. The extracted features should be sensitive only to faults in the machine. Therefore, applying more efficient processing techniques in order to achieve more useful features that bring faster and more accurate fault detection procedure has attracted the attention of researchers. This paper attempts to improve Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT) using wavelet packet transform (WPT) as a preprocessor instead of ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) to decompose the signal into narrow frequency bands and extract instantaneous frequency and compares the efficiency of the proposed method named “wavelet packet-based Hilbert transform (WPHT)” with the HHT in the extraction of broken rotor bar frequency components from vibration signals. These methods are tested on vibration signals of an electro-pump experimental setup. Moreover, this project applies wavelet packet de-noising to remove the noise of vibration signal before applying both methods mentioned and thereby achieves more useful features from vibration signals for the next stages of diagnosis procedure. The comparison of Hilbert transform amplitude spectrum and the values and numbers of detected instantaneous frequencies using HHT and WPHT techniques indicates the superiority of the WPHT technique to detect fault-related frequencies as an improved form of HHT.

A vibration-based fault diagnosis method of pump units based on wavelet packet transform (WPT) is proposed in this paper. Compared with Fourier transform (FT) and wavelet transform (WT), WPT can subdivide the whole time-frequency domain. It can perform signals with good time resolution at high frequency and vice versa. WPT is considered as a good tool to signal denoising, accounting for its perfect ability in decomposing and reconstructing signal and its characteristic of no redundancy and divulges after denoising. In addition, WPT modulus maximal coefficient provides a simple but accurate method in calculating the Lipschitz exponents, which is the measurement of signal singularity. According to the singularity analysis results of vibration signal, we can recognize the fault pattern of pump units. This paper makes a detail research on signal denoising and singularity analysis based on WPT. Taking the main shaft and thrust bearing vibration signal for example, the experimental results show that WPT is effectively in the fault diagnosis system of pump unit.

The acoustic signal of mechanical watch is a distinct multi-component signal. It contains many frequency components corresponding to specific escapement motion sources with a very wide frequency range. Therefore, it is challenging for signature analysis of mechanical watch by the acoustic signal. This paper studies the time-frequency signatures of the mechanical watch based on wavelet decomposition. Two methods are proposed to improve the frequency resolution of traditional wavelet techniques by combining other beneficial techniques in the sense of decomposing specific mono- or independent components. The empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is presented to advance the wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) to decompose the mono-component signals. And the blind source separation (BSS) makes the redundancy of continuous wavelet transform (CWT) further gain good frequency resolution in the independent meaning. The decomposed signals by the two methods reveal the insight of mechanical watch movement and can contribute much simpler and clearer time-frequency signatures. Experimental results indicated the effectiveness of the two methods and the value of the time-frequency signatures in analyzing and diagnosing mechanical watch movements.

Misalignment Fault

In light of the complex and non-stationary characteristics of misalignment vibration signal, this paper proposed a novel method to analyze in time-frequency domain under different working conditions. Firstly, decompose raw misalignment signal into different frequency bands by wavelet packet (WP) and reconstruct it in accordance with the band energy to remove noises. Secondly, employ empirical mode decomposition (EMD) to the reconstructed signal to obtain a certain number of stationary intrinsic mode functions (IMF). Finally, apply further spectrum analysis on the interested IMFs. In this way, weak signal is caught and dominant frequency is picked up for the diagnosis of misalignment fault. Experimental results show that the proposed method is able to detect misalignment fault characteristic frequency effectively.

The Exploitation of Wavelet De-Noising To Detect Bearing Faults Failure diagnosis is an important component of the Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) activities for most engineering systems. Rolling element bearings are the most common cause of rotating machinery failure. The existence of the amplitude modulation and noises in the faulty bearing vibration signal present challenges to effective fault detection method. The wavelet transform has been widely used in signal de-noising due to its extraordinary time-frequency representation capability. In this paper, we proposed new approach for bearing fault detection based on the autocorrelation of wavelet de-noised vibration signal through a wavelet base function derived from the bearing impulse response. To improve the fault detection process the wavelet parameters (damping factor and center frequency) are optimized using maximization kurtosis criteria to produce wavelet base function with high similarity with the impulses generated by bearing defects, that leads to increase the magnitude of the wavelet coefficients related to the fault impulses and enhance the fault detection process. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed technique to reveal the bearing fault impulses and its periodicity for both simulated and real rolling bearing vibration signals.

In the present paper auto-regressive and time-frequency based techniques have been investigated to predict and monitor the damage in implantable biological electronics such as pacemakers and defibrillators. The approach focuses is on the pre-failure space and methodologies for quantification of failure in electronic equipment subjected to shock and vibration loads using the dynamic response of the electronic equipment. Presented methodologies are applicable at the system-level for identification of impending failures to trigger repair or replacement significantly prior to failure. Leading indicators of shock-damage have been developed to correlate with the damage initiation and progression in under variety of stresses in electronic systems. The approach is based on monitoring critical solder interconnects, and sensing the change in test-signal characteristics prior to failure, in addition to monitoring the transient strain characteristics optically using digital image correlation and strain gages. Previously, SPR based on wavelet packet energy decomposition and the Mahalanobis distance approach have been studied by the authors for quantification of shock damage in electronic assemblies [Lall 2006]. In this paper, Auto-regressive (AR), wavelet packet energy decomposition, and time-frequency (TFA) techniques have been investigated for system identification, condition monitoring, and fault detection and diagnosis in implantable biological electronic systems. One of the main advantages of the AR technique is that it is primarily a signal based technique. Reduced reliance on system analysis helps avoid errors which otherwise may render the process of fault detection and diagnosis quite complex and dependent on the skills of the analyst. Results of the present study show that the AR and TFA based health monitoring techniques are feasible for fault detection and damage-assessment in electronic units. Explicit finite element models have been developed and various kinds of failure modes have been simulated such as solder ball cracking, package falloff and solder ball failure.

Gear Fault

In this paper, wavelet packet transform and support vector machines are used to detect gear system faults. Testing signals were obtained by measuring the vibration signals of gear system at different rotating speed for different faults. Vibration feature signals were analyzed using wavelet de-noising. By using wavelet packet transform (WPT), signals were decomposed into different frequency bands. the fault detection is used for calculation of energy percents of every frequency. All these were used for fault recognition using Support vector machine (SVM). SVM and neural network transform results were compared. The research indicates that the de-noised signal is superior to the original one. When dealing with various signals, such as Multi-Faults, the diagnosis identification rates are over 92%. This method can be effectively used not only in engineering diagnosis of different faults of gear system, but also for other machinery fault style classification.
