In view of the incipient fault characteristics are difficult to be extracted from the raw bearing fault signals, an incipient bearing fault diagnosis method based on parameter-adaptive variational mode decomposition (VMD) is proposed. The beetle antennae search (BAS) algorithm is adopted to seek for the optimal combination of the VMD parameters. The reciprocals of the calculated kurtosis values of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) decomposed via VMD are employed as a fitness function in the searching process. The optimal mode number and the quadratic penalty term of VMD are adaptively set after the search. Afterwards, a vibration signal is decomposed into a set of IMFs using the parameter-adaptive VMD, and the IMF with the maximal kurtosis value is selected as the sensitive one. The selected IMF is further analyzed by Hilbert envelope demodulation. The resulting envelope spectrum can show the significant fault impulse characteristics which are highly helpful to diagnose incipient bearing faults. The kurtosis and the proportion of fault energy are introduced as the input vector of the extreme learning machine (ELM). Comparisons have been conducted via ELM to evaluate the performance by using EMD and the fixed-parameter VMD. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is more effective in extracting the incipient bearing fault characteristics.

In order to extract the faint fault information from complicated vibration signal of bearing, the correlated kurtosis is introduced into the field of rolling bearing fault diagnosis. Combined with ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and correlated kurtosis, a feature extraction method is proposed. According to the method, by EEMD processing a group of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) are obtained, then the IMF with maximal correlated kurtosis is selected, and the weak fault signal is clearly extracted. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated on both simulated signal and actual data.

A new rolling bearing fault diagnosis approach is proposed. The original vibration signal is purified using the second generation wavelet denoising. The purified signal is further decomposed by an improved ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) method. A new selection criterion, including correlation analysis and the first two intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) with the maximum energy, is put forward to eliminate the pseudo low-frequency components. Experimental investigation show that the rolling bearing fault features can be effectively extracted.

For the unsteady characteristics of a fault vibration signal of a wind turbine’s rolling bearing, a bearing fault diagnosis method based on variational mode decomposition of the energy distribution is proposed. Firstly, variational mode decomposition is used to decompose the original vibration signal into a finite number of stationary components. Then, some components which comprise the major fault information are selected for further analysis. When a rolling bearing fault occurs, the energy in different frequency bands of the vibration acceleration signals will change. Energy characteristic parameters can then be extracted from each component as the input parameters of the classifier, based on the K nearest neighbour algorithm. This can identify the type of fault in the rolling bearing. The vibration signals from a spherical roller bearing in its normal state, with an outer race fault, with an inner race fault and with a roller fault were analyzed. The results showed that the proposed method (variational mode decomposition is used as a pre-processor to extract the energy of each frequency band as the characteristic parameter) can identify the working state and fault type of rolling bearings in a wind turbine.

The vibration signals resulting from rolling bearings are nonlinear and nonstationary, and an approach for the fault diagnosis of rolling bearings using the quantile permutation entropy and EMD (empirical mode decomposition) is proposed. Firstly, the EMD is used to decompose the rolling bearings vibration signal, and several IMFs (intrinsic mode functions) spanning different scales are obtained. Secondly, aiming at the shortcomings of the permutation entropy algorithm, a new permutation entropy algorithm based on sample quantile is proposed, and the quantile permutation entropy of the first few IMFs, which contain the main fault information, is calculated. The quantile permutation entropies are accordingly seen as the characteristic vector and then input to the particle swarm optimization and support vector machine. Finally, the proposed method is applied to the experimental data. The analysis results show that the proposed approach can effectively achieve fault diagnosis of rolling bearings.

When rolling bearings have a local fault, the real bearing vibration signal related to the local fault is characterized by the properties of nonlinear and nonstationary. To extract the useful fault features from the collected nonlinear and nonstationary bearing vibration signals and improve diagnostic accuracy, this paper proposes a new bearing fault diagnosis method based on parameter adaptive variational mode extraction (PAVME) and multiscale envelope dispersion entropy (MEDE). Firstly, a new method hailed as parameter adaptive variational mode extraction (PAVME) is presented to process the collected original bearing vibration signal and obtain the frequency components related to bearing faults, where its two important parameters (i.e., the penalty factor and mode center-frequency) are automatically determined by whale optimization algorithm. Subsequently, based on the processed bearing vibration signal, an effective complexity evaluation approach named multiscale envelope dispersion entropy (MEDE) is calculated for conducting bearing fault feature extraction. Finally, the extracted fault features are fed into the k-nearest neighbor (KNN) to automatically identify different health conditions of rolling bearing. Case studies and contrastive analysis are performed to validate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method. Experimental results show that the proposed method can not only effectively extract bearing fault features, but also obtain a high identification accuracy for bearing fault patterns under single or variable speed.

Sensitive and accurate fault features from the vibration signals of planetary gearboxes are essential for fault diagnosis, in which extreme learning machine (ELM) techniques have been widely adopted. To increase the sensitivity of extracted features fed in ELM, a novel feature extraction method is put forward, which takes advantage of the transient dynamics and the reconstructed high-dimensional data from the original vibration signal. First, based on fast kurtosis analysis, the range of transient dynamics of a vibration signal is located. Next, with the extracted kurtosis information, with variational mode decomposition, a series of intrinsic mode functions are decomposed; the ones that fall into the obtained ranges are selected as transient features, corresponding to maximum kurtosis value. Fed by the transient features, a hierarchical ELM model is well-trained for fault classification. Furthermore, a denoising auto-encoder is used to optimize input weight and threshold of implicit learning node of ELM, satisfying orthogonal condition to realize the layering of its hidden layers. Finally, a numerical case and an experiment are conducted to verify the performance of the proposed method. In comparison with its counterparts, the proposed method has a better classification accuracy in the aiding of transient features.
