Valve faults diagnosis technique of a diesel engine is studied deeply in this paper. The experiment of valve clearance and air leakage faults are done in a diesel engine, and cylinder head vibration and transient speed signals are measured synchronously on normal and fault conditions respectively. These signals are used to feature extraction. In order to avoid the leakage and aliasing of vibration signal’s frequent spectrum, resample method based on order tracking is proposed, and vibration signal was transformed from time domain to crank angle domain accurately. Considering the non-stationary characteristic of vibration signal, a series of intrinsic mode functions with different scales were obtained using the empirical mode decomposition method, and fault features parameters were extracted through 3D Hilbert spectrums of the intrinsic mode functions. Experimental results show that the method can effectively extract fault features of diesel engine and use them to realize the valve system faults diagnosis further.

The vibration signals propagating in different directions from rotating machines can contain a variety of characteristic information. A novel feature extraction method based on bivariate empirical mode decomposition (BEMD) for rotor is proposed to comprehensively extract the fault features. In this work, the number of signal projection directions is determined through simulation, and the energy end condition based on the energy threshold is increased using BEMD to enhance the decomposition quality. Mixed vibration signals are generated along two orthogonal directions. Then, the acquired vibration signal can be decomposed into several intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) at the rotational speed using the BEMD method. Furthermore, the instantaneous frequency and instantaneous amplitude of the real signals and the imaginary part of the IMF signals are obtained using the Hilbert transform. The fault features along two and three dimensions can be investigated, providing more comprehensive information to aid in the fault diagnosis of rotor. Experimental results on oil film oscillation, the oil whirl, the bistability of the rotor, and looseness and rotor rubbing composite fault indicate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Chatter often occurs during precision hole boring, it results in low quality of finished surface and even damages the cutting tool. In order to identify chatter rapidly and gain the precious time for chatter suppression, a chatter monitoring system was established and an effective feature extraction method for boring chatter recognition was presented. According to the characteristic of chatter signal, empirical mode decomposition (EMD) was introduced into chatter feature extraction, and its basic theories were investigated. The vibration signal was decomposed by EMD, then the intrinsic mode functions (IMF) was got. Finally, the feature of chatter symptom was extracted by analyzing the energy spectrum of each IMF. The results show that feature extracted from vibration of boring bar by EMD can indicate chatter outbreak symptom, and it can be used as feature vectors for rapidly recognizing chatter.

For the situation that it is difficult to diagnose rolling bearings fault effectively for small samples, so it proposes a feature extraction method of rolling bearing based on local mean decomposition (LMD) energy feature. Due to the frequency domain distribution of vibration signals will change when different faults occur in rolling bearings, so it can use LMD energy feature method to extract the fault features of rolling bearings. The instances analysis and extracted results show that the LMD energy feature can extract the vibration signal fault feature of rolling bearings effectively.

Effective diagnosis of vibration fault is of practical significance to ensure the safe and stable operation of power transformers. Aiming at the traditional problems of transformer vibration fault diagnosis, a novel feature extraction method based on complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) and multi-scale dispersion entropy (MDE) was proposed. In this paper, CEEMDAN method is used to decompose the original transformer vibration signal. Additionally, then MDE is used to capture multi-scale fault features in the decomposed intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). Next, the principal component analysis (PCA) method is employed to reduce the feature dimension and extract the effective information in vibration signals. Finally, the simplified features are sent into density peak clustering (DPC) to get the fault diagnosis results. The experimental data analysis shows that CEEMDAN-MDE can effectively extract the information of the original vibration signals and DPC can accurately diagnose the types of transformer faults. By comparing different algorithms, the practicability and superiority of this proposed method are verified.

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.

A feature extraction method for engine block using the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) technique has been proposed in this paper. The EMD technique is developed to break the limitations of conventional signal processing techniques in some extent and to perform further decomposition of signals. In order to extract feature information of engine block, the vibration response will first be processed by the EMD to generate the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), and then identified by the Fourier transform. Then the same procedure will be adopted to extract the vibration response characteristic from FEM model of block, which is compared between the original and improved engine block. To verify the feasibility of such an approach, the vibration response generated by the finite element simulation will be analyzed, with results compared with the experimental ones. The results demonstrated that the EMD technique made the vibration characteristic more visible by the sifting process, and using the IMFs computed from vibration response, rather than based on the original data, the vibration sources of engine can be successfully identified. And we can also further confirm the structural weak regions of engine block and the main vibration sources, which are benefited to the engine block optimization.

Aiming at the problem that it is difficult to extract fault features from the nonlinear and non-stationary vibration signals of wind turbine rolling bearings, which leads to the low diagnosis and recognition rate, a feature extraction method based on multi-island genetic algorithm (MIGA) improved variational mode decomposition (VMD) and multi-features is proposed. The decomposition effect of the VMD method is limited by the number of decompositions and the selection of penalty factors. This paper uses MIGA to optimize the parameters. The improved VMD method is used to decompose the vibration signal into a number of intrinsic mode functions (IMF), and a group of components containing the most information is selected through the Holder coefficient. For these components, multi-features based on Renyi entropy feature, singular value feature, and Hjorth parameter feature are extracted as the final feature vector, which is input to the classifier to realize the fault diagnosis of rolling bearing. The experimental results prove that the proposed method can more effectively extract the fault characteristics of rolling bearings. The fault diagnosis model based on this method can accurately identify bearing signals of 16 different fault types, severity, and damage points.

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.

According to the non-stationary characteristic of rotating machinery vibration signals of a rotor system with a loose pedestal fault, variational mode decomposition was applied in the pedestal looseness fault diagnosis for such a rotor system. Variational mode decomposition is used to decompose the rotor vibration signal into several stable components. This can achieve the separation of the pedestal looseness fault signal from the background signals, and extract the fault characteristic of a vibration signal from a rotor system with pedestal looseness. Experimental data from a rotor system with pedestal looseness were used to verify the proposed method. The results showed that the stable components of the rotor vibration signal obtained by variational mode decomposition have obvious amplitude modulation characteristics. The components which contain fault information were analyzed by envelope demodulation, which can extract the pedestal looseness fault features of a rotor vibration signal. Therefore, the variational mode decomposition method can be effectively applied to the pedestal looseness fault diagnosis of such a rotor system.

Under complicated conditions, the extraction of a multi-fault in gearboxes is difficult to achieve. Due to improper selection of methods, leakage diagnosis or misdiagnosis will usually occur. Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) often causes energy leakage due to improper selection of white noise during signal decomposition. Considering that only a single fault cycle can be extracted when MOMED (Multipoint Optimal Minimum Entropy Deconvolution) is used, it is necessary to perform the sub-band processing of the compound fault signal. This paper presents an adaptive gearbox multi-fault-feature extraction method based on Improved MOMED (IMOMED). Firstly, EEMD decomposes the signal adaptively and selects the intrinsic mode functions with strong correlation with the original signal to perform FFT (Fast Fourier transform); considering the mode-mixing phenomenon of EEMD, reconstruct the intrinsic mode functions with the same timescale, and obtain several intrinsic mode functions of the same scale to improve the entropy of fault features. There is a lot of white noise in the original signal, and EEMD can improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the original signal. Finally, through the setting of different noise-reduction intervals to extract fault features through MOMED. The proposed method is compared with EEMD and VMD (Variational Mode Decomposition) to verify its feasibility.
