Instantaneous frequency estimation of rolling bearing is a key step in order tracking without tachometers, and time-frequency analysis method is an effective solution. In this paper, a new method applying the variational mode decomposition (VMD) in association with the synchroextracting transform (SET), named VMD-SET, is proposed as an improved time-frequency analysis method for instantaneous frequency estimation of rolling bearing. The SET is a new time-frequency analysis method which belongs to a postprocessing procedure of the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) and has excellent performance in energy concentration. Considering nonstationary broadband fault vibration signals of rolling bearing under variable speed conditions, the time-frequency characteristics cannot be obtained accurately by SET alone. Thus, VMD-SET method is proposed. Firstly, the signal is decomposed into several intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) with different center frequency by VMD. Then, effective IMFs are selected by mutual information and kurtosis criteria and are reconstructed. Next, the SET method is applied to the reconstructed signal to generate the time-frequency representation with high resolution. Finally, instantaneous frequency trajectory can be accurately extracted by peak search from the time-frequency representation. The proposed method is free from time-varying sidebands and is robust to noise interference. It is proved by numerical simulated signal analysis and is further validated by lab experimental rolling bearing vibration signal analysis. The results show this method can estimate the instantaneous frequency with high precision without noise interference.

Suppress Noise

The differences of instantaneous frequency (IF) characteristics between the defect echo and the noise can be used to detect defect and suppress noise for ultrasonic testing signal. Therefore, the IF is one of the important instantaneous parameters of ultrasonic testing signal. To estimate the IF of ultrasonic testing signals more effectively, the peak of time-frequency representation (TFR) from matching pursuits (MP) decomposition is proposed. The performances of IF estimators are compared on the simulated signals at different signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the real ultrasonic testing signal. The simulation results present that the proposed method can estimate accurate IF at different SNR.

Defect Frequency

It is proposed a novel instantaneous frequency estimation technology, multi-generalized demodulation transform, for non-stationary signals, whose true time variations of instantaneous frequencies are unknown and difficult to extract from the time-frequency representation due to essentially noisy environment. Theoretical bases of the novel instantaneous frequency estimation technology are created. The main innovations are summarized as: (a) novel instantaneous frequency estimation technology, multi-generalized demodulation transform, is proposed, (b) novel instantaneous frequency estimation results, obtained by simulation, for four types of amplitude and frequency modulated non-stationary single and multicomponent signals under strong background noise (signal to noise ratio is −5 dB), and (c) novel experimental instantaneous frequency estimation results for defect frequency of rolling bearings for multiple defect frequency harmonics, using the proposed technology in non-stationary conditions and in conditions of different levels of noise interference, including a strong noise interference. Quantitative instantaneous frequency estimation errors are employed to evaluate performance of the proposed IF estimation technology. Simulation and experimental estimation results show high effectiveness of the proposed estimation technology.

AbstractFrequency modulated (FM) signals sampled below the Nyquist rate or with missing samples (nowadays part of wider compressive sensing (CS) framework) are considered. Recently proposed matching pursuit and greedy techniques are inefficient for signals with several phase parameters since they require a search over multidimensional space. An alternative is proposed here based on the random samples consensus algorithm (RANSAC) applied to the instantaneous frequency (IF) estimates obtained from the time-frequency (TF) representation of recordings (undersampled or signal with missing samples). The O’Shea refinement strategy is employed to refine results. The proposed technique is tested against third- and fifth-order polynomial phase signals (PPS) and also for signals corrupted by noise.
