The evaluation and fault diagnosis of a diesel engine’s health conditions without disassembly are very important for diesel engine safe operation. Currently, the research on fault diagnosis has focused on the time domain or frequency domain processing of vibration signals. However, early fault signals are mostly weak energy signals, and the fault information cannot be completely extracted by time domain and frequency domain analysis. Thus, in this article, a novel fault diagnosis method of diesel engine valve clearance using the improved variational mode decomposition (VMD) and bispectrum algorithm is proposed. First, the experimental study was designed to obtain fault vibration signals. The improved VMD method by choosing the optimal decomposition layers is applied to denoise vibration signals. Then the bispectrum analysis of the reconstructed signal after VMD decomposition is carried out. The results show that bispectrum image under different working conditions exhibits obviously different characteristics respectively. At last, the diagonal projection method proposed in this paper was used to process the bispectrum image, and the fourth order cumulant is calculated. The calculation results show that three states of the valve clearance are successfully distinguished.

Accurate and timely misfire fault diagnosis is of vital significance for diesel engines. However, existing algorithms are prone to fall into model over-fitting and adopt low energy-concentrated features. This paper presents a novel extreme gradient boosting-based misfire fault diagnosis approach utilizing the high-accuracy time–frequency information of vibration signals. First, diesel engine misfire tests were conducted under different spindle speeds, and the corresponding vibration signals were acquired via a triaxial accelerometer. The time-domain features of signals were extracted by using a time-domain statistics method, while the high-accuracy time–frequency domain features were obtained via the high-resolution multisynchrosqueezing transform. Thereafter, considering the nonlinearity and high dimensionality of the original characteristic data sets, the locally linear embedding method was employed for feature dimensionality reduction. Eventually, to avoid model overfitting, the extreme gradient boosting algorithm was utilized for diesel engine misfire fault diagnosis. Experiments under different spindle speeds and comprehensive comparisons with other evaluation methods were conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed extreme gradient boosting-based misfire diagnosis method. The results verify that the highest classification accuracy of the proposed extreme gradient boosting-based algorithm is up to 99.93%. Simultaneously, the classification accuracy of the presented approach is approximately 24.63% higher on average than those of algorithms that use wavelet packet-based features. Moreover, it is shown that it obtains the minimum root mean squared error and can effectively prevent the model from falling into overfitting.

In this paper, an engine diagnosis method with high precision and quickly response is proposed. Firstly, the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) is used to improve the performance of the neural network to build the fault diagnosis model. Then the vibration signals are analyzed to estimate the states of the diesel engine. Finally, the five states of diesel engine are set to validate the veracity of diagnosis method. According to experiment and simulation researches, it indicates that the diagnosis method with RBF neural network based on AIC is effective. The veracity of identification is 100% to the single fault. It is a valuable reference to the vibration diagnosis for other complex rotary machines.

Aiming at the feature extraction difficulty of vibration signals, an improved local binary pattern- (ILBP-) based diesel engine fault diagnosis approach is proposed. To effectively make use of the component spatial information in time-frequency images, local binary pattern (LBP) algorithm is applied. Also, in view of the problems that traditional LBP coding is easily interfered by singular pixel points and the relative spatial information is not prominent, an improved coding rule of the LBP operator is put forward in this paper. Compared with some typical LBP algorithms, computational complexity of the proposed ILBP algorithm is greatly reduced, and the coding sparsity is greatly improved. The ILBP operator is applied to fault diagnosis of BF4L1011F diesel engine with eight different valve conditions. For comparison, six kinds of time-frequency distribution are used to convert raw vibration signals into time-frequency images, and then circular LBP, rotation-invariant LBP, uniform LBP, and ILBP operator are applied for texture coding. Finally, nearest neighbor classifier (NNC) and support vector machine (SVM) are used for fault identification. The classification results show that the ILBP operator proposed in this paper can better describe the texture feature information in vibration time-frequency images of the diesel engine, and a good diagnostic effect can be achieved by combining wavelet packet (WP) distribution and ILBP.

This paper discusses the use of Maximum Correlation kurtosis deconvolution (MCKD) method as a pre-processor in fast spectral kurtosis (FSK) method in order to find the compound fault characteristics of the bearing, by enhancing the vibration signals. FSK only extracts the resonance bands which have maximum kurtosis value, but sometimes it might possible that faults occur in the resonance bands which has low kurtosis value, also the faulty signals missed due to noise interference. In order to overcome these limitations FSK used with MCKD, MCKD extracts various faults present in different resonance frequency bands; also detect the weak impact component, as MCKD also dealt with strong background noise. By obtaining the MCKD parameters like, filter length & deconvolution period, we can extract the compound fault feature characteristics.

To address the problem that the faults in axial piston pumps are complex and difficult to effectively diagnose, an integrated hydraulic pump fault diagnosis method based on the modified ensemble empirical mode decomposition (MEEMD), autoregressive (AR) spectrum energy, and wavelet kernel extreme learning machine (WKELM) methods is presented in this paper. First, the non-linear and non-stationary hydraulic pump vibration signals are decomposed into several intrinsic mode function (IMF) components by the MEEMD method. Next, AR spectrum analysis is performed for each IMF component, in order to extract the AR spectrum energy of each component as fault characteristics. Then, a hydraulic pump fault diagnosis model based on WKELM is built, in order to extract the features and diagnose faults of hydraulic pump vibration signals, for which the recognition accuracy reached 100%. Finally, the fault diagnosis effect of the hydraulic pump fault diagnosis method proposed in this paper is compared with BP neural network, support vector machine (SVM), and extreme learning machine (ELM) methods. The hydraulic pump fault diagnosis method presented in this paper can diagnose faults of single slipper wear, single slipper loosing and center spring wear type with 100% accuracy, and the fault diagnosis time is only 0.002 s. The results demonstrate that the integrated hydraulic pump fault diagnosis method based on MEEMD, AR spectrum, and WKELM methods has higher fault recognition accuracy and faster speed than existing alternatives.
