Aiming at the nonlinear and nonstationary feature of mechanical fault vibration signal, a new fault diagnosis method, which is based on a combination of empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and 1.5 dimension spectrum, is proposed. Firstly, the vibration signal is decomposed by EMD and the correlation coefficient between each intrinsic mode function and original signal is calculated. Then these intrinsic mode function components, which have a big correlation coefficient, are selected to estimate its 1.5 dimension spectrum. And this method uses 1.5 dimension spectrum of each intrinsic mode function to reconstruct its power spectrum. And these power spectrums are summed to obtain the primary power spectrum of gear fault signal. Finally, the information feature of fault is extracted from the reconstructed 1.5 dimension spectrum. A model to reconstruct 1.5 dimension spectrum is established, and the principle and steps of the method are presented. Some simulated and measured gear fault signals have been processed to demonstrate the effectiveness of new method. The result shows that this method can greatly inhibit the interference of Gauss noise to raise the SNR and recognize the secondary phase coupling feature of the signal. The proposed method has a good real-time performance and provides an effective method to determine the early crack fault of gear root.

In order to solve the problem of the faulted rolling bearing signal getting easily affected by Gaussian noise, a new fault diagnosis method was proposed based on empirical mode decomposition and high-order statistics. Firstly, the vibration signal was decomposed by empirical mode decomposition and the correlation coefficient of each intrinsic mode function was calculated. These intrinsic mode function components, which have a big correlation coefficient, were selected to estimate its higher order spectrum. Then based on the higher order statistics theory, this method uses higher order spectrum of each intrinsic mode function to reconstruct its power spectrum. And these power spectrums were summed to obtain the primary power spectrum of bearing signal. Finally, fault feature information was extracted from the reconstructed power spectrum. A model, using higher order spectrum to reconstruct power spectrum, was established. Meanwhile, analysis was conducted by using the simulated data and the recorded vibration signals which include inner race, out race, and bearing ball fault signal. Results show that the presented method is superior to traditional power spectrum method in suppressing Gaussian noise and its resolution is higher. New method can extract more useful information compared to the traditional method.

Gear Fault Diagnosis

Gear is the most common mechanical transmission equipment. Therefore, gear fault diagnosis is of much significance. In this article, a gear fault diagnosis method based on the integration of empirical mode decomposition and cepstrum is proposed by introducing empirical mode decomposition and cepstrum into gear fault analysis. Firstly EMD is used to decompose the gear vibration signal finite number of intrinsic mode functions and a residual error item. To do gear fault diagnosis, cepstrum analysis is carried upon those intrinsic mode functions to extract feature information from the vibration signal. The results of the study on simulated and experimental signals show that this method is better than the cepstrum method and it can precisely locate the site of gear failure.

The original modulation fault vibration signals are firstly decomposed into a number of intrinsic mode function (IMF) by the EMD method. Then Hilbert spectrum of intrinsic mode function at different fault characteristic frequencies is obtained by Hilbert transform. Finally, the time-frequency fault characteristics of gearbox are analyzed by the Hilbert spectrum value of intrinsic mode function. Experiment result has shown the feasibility and efficiency of the EMD algorithms and Hilbert spectrum characteristic method in fault diagnosis and fault message abstraction.

Gear Fault

Gear failures happen frequently in the gear mechanisms, and an unexpected serious gear fault may cause severe damage on the machinery. Hence, precise gear fault detection at the early stage is imperative to ensure the normal operation of the machinery. Independent component analysis (ICA) has been paid more and more attention for its powerful ability of separating the useful vibration source from the multi-sensor observations to enhance the fault feature extraction. This is the so called blind source separation (BSS) procedure. However, the popular ICA model may suffer from two limitations. One is the linear mixture assumption, and the other is the lack of sensor channels. Up to now, only limited research considered the nonlinear ICA model in the field of mechanic fault diagnosis, and techniques for the situation where the number of sensor channels is less than the number of independent sources for gear defect detection are scarce. In order to extract the useful source involved with the gear fault characteristics in single-channel vibration signal processing, this work presents a new method based on the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and nonlinear ICA. The EMD was firstly employed to decompose the vibration signal into a number of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), and then these IMFs were taken as the multi-channel observations. The post-nonlinear (PNL) ICA model based on the radial basis function (RBF) neural network was applied to the nonlinear BSS procedure on the IMFs. The experimental vibration data acquired from the gear fault test-bed were processed for the validation of the proposed method. The nonlinear ICA method has been compared with the linear ICA and non-ICA based approaches. The analysis results show that the sensitive characteristics of the gear meshing vibration can be separated from the single channel measurement by the proposed method, and the fault diagnosis precision can be enhanced significantly. The detection rate can be increased by 3.75% or better when the ICA based preprocessing is carried out, and the proposed nonlinear ICA outperforms the linear ICA detection model.

Instantaneous Energy

Complex nonlinear and nonstationary signals can be adaptively analyzed by the Hilbert–Huang transform through empirical mode decomposition and the Hilbert transform to generate the instantaneous energy. The instantaneous energy was able to display the local characteristics of the signals and had good time–frequency analysis capability, it is therefore widely applied to the analysis of vibration signals in the field of gear fault diagnosis. However, only a few extracted intrinsic mode functions through empirical mode decomposition can reflect fault feature or closely related to the faults but others are irrelevant. Therefore, the fault feature of the instantaneous energy for all intrinsic mode functions was not obvious and the accuracy of diagnosis was low. Aimed at solving this problem, a fault leading rate evaluation algorithm was proposed that can select those intrinsic mode functions, which reflect fault features (it was called the dominant intrinsic mode function) from all intrinsic mode functions. In the paper, this algorithm was applied to gear fault feature extraction. By calculating the instantaneous energy of the dominant intrinsic mode function the method could accurately extract gear fault feature and improve the accuracy of diagnosis. Both simulated signals and experimental signals of a Klingelnberg bevel gear were analyzed to verify the effectiveness and correctness of the algorithm.
