To overcome the shortage of low SNR (signal to noise ratio) of the multipole generator vibration signal which brings rigid difficulty to the fault diagnosis, a new method which combines the Time-Wavelet Energy Spectrum (TWES) with the Multipoint Optimal Minimum Entropy Deconvolution Adjusted (MOMEDA) algorithm is proposed. This method uses TWES to extract and enhance the characteristic signal, while employing MOMEDA to optimize the spectrum structure and filter the noise. The application of this method to the simulating signal as well as the test stator vibration signal in a 6-pole generator before and after rotor interturn short circuit fault validates the effectiveness of the method. Moreover, the comparison among the proposed method and some other general methods such as the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and the maximum correlative kurtosis deconvolution (MCKD) suggests that the proposed method is superior to these methods.

This paper proposes a new method called independent component analysis–variational mode decomposition (ICA-VMD), which combines ICA and VMD. The purpose is to study the application of ICA-VMD in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) signal processing and data analysis. ICA is a very important method in the field of machine learning. It is an unsupervised learning algorithm that can dig out the independent factors hidden in the observation signal. The VMD method estimates each signal component by solving the frequency domain variational optimization problem, and it is very suitable for mechanical fault diagnosis. The advantage of ICA-VMD is that it requires two sensory cues to distinguish the original source from the unwanted noise. In the three cases studied here, the original source was first contaminated by white Gaussian noise. The three cases in this study are under different SNR conditions. The SNR in the first case is –6.46 dB, the SNR in the second case is –21.3728, and the SNR in the third case is –46.8177. The simulation results show that the ICA-VMD method can effectively recover the original source from the contaminated data. It is hoped that, in the future, there will be new discoveries and advances in science and technology to solve the noise interference problem through this method.

Dual-tree complex wavelet transform has been successfully applied to the composite diagnosis of a gearbox and has achieved good results. However, it has some fatal weaknesses, so this paper proposes an improved dual-tree complex wavelet transform (IDTCWT), and combines minimum entropy deconvolution (MED) to diagnose the composite fault of a gearbox. Firstly, the number of decomposition levels and the effective sub-bands of the DTCWT are adaptively determined according to the correlation coefficient matrix. Secondly, frequency mixing is removed by notch filter. Thirdly, each of the obtained sub-bands further reduces the noise by minimum entropy deconvolution. Then, the proposed method and the existing adaptive noise reduction methods, such as empirical mode decomposition (EMD), ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), and variational mode decomposition (VMD), are used to decompose the two sets of simulation signals in comparison, and the feasibility of the proposed method has been verified. Finally, the proposed method is applied to the compound fault vibration signal of a gearbox. The results show the proposed method successfully extracts the outer ring fault at a frequency of 160 Hz, the gearbox fault with a characteristic frequency of 360 Hz and its double frequency of 720 Hz, and that there is no mode mixing. The method proposed in this paper provides a new idea for the feature extraction of a gearbox compound fault.

Diagnostics is based on the characterization of mechanical system condition and allows early detection of a possible fault. Signal processing is an approach widely used in diagnostics, since it allows directly characterizing the state of the system. Several types of advanced signal processing techniques have been proposed in the last decades and added to more conventional ones. Seldom, these techniques are able to consider non-stationary operations. Diagnostics of roller bearings is not an exception of this framework. In this paper, a new vibration signal processing tool, able to perform roller bearing diagnostics in whatever working condition and noise level, is developed on the basis of two data-adaptive techniques as Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD), Minimum Entropy Deconvolution (MED), coupled by means of the mathematics related to the Hilbert transform. The effectiveness of the new signal processing tool is proven by means of experimental data measured in a test-rig that employs high power industrial size components.

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.

In marine seismic acquisitions, signal interference remains a major menace. In this paper, a denoising approach based on the Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) combined with the Hausdorff distance (HD) and Wavelet transform (WT) is proposed. There has been substantial research in this field over the years. However, traditional denoising methods fall short of achieving satisfactory results in an extremely low signal to noise ratio (SNR) environment. The feasibility, and stability of the proposed method was validated by performing simulations in MATLAB on both a synthetic signal and a seismic signal generated using real dataset. It was found that the proposed method does well in preserving marine signals in low SNR environments, and has a superior output SNR.

Vibration analysis is considered as an effective and reliable nondestructive technique for monitoring the operation conditions of elevator control transformer. In the paper, a novel model using the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD), the empirical wavelet packet transform, the mind evolutionary algorithm (MEA), and the backpropagation (BP) neural network is proposed for elevator control transformer fault diagnosis. Firstly, the collected signal is smoothed by EMD, the intrinsic mode function (IMF) components with large noise are determined according to the correlation coefficient, the wavelet adaptive threshold denoising algorithm is used to process the noisy IMF components, and the IMF components before and after processing and its residual component are reconstructed to obtain the denoised signal. Then, the denoised signal is transformed by empirical wavelet packet transform to extract the energy ratio and energy entropy features in the wavelet packet coefficients. Finally, a fault diagnosis model composed of MEA and BP neural network is developed, which avoids the problems of premature convergence and poor diagnosis effect. The experimental results show that the proposed model has a remarkable performance with an average root mean square error of 0.00672 and the average diagnosis accuracy of 90.8%, which is better than classic BP neural network.

GNSS technology (known especially for GPS satellites) for measurement of deflections has proved very efficient and useful in bridge structural monitoring, even for short stiff bridges, especially after the advent of 100 Hz GNSS sensors. Mode computation from dynamic deflections has been proposed as one of the applications of this technology. Apart from formal modal analyses with GNSS input, and from spectral analysis of controlled free attenuating oscillations, it has been argued that simple spectra of deflections can define more than one modal frequencies. To test this scenario, we analyzed 21 controlled excitation events from a certain bridge monitoring survey, focusing on lateral and vertical deflections, recorded both by GNSS and an accelerometer. These events contain a transient and a following oscillation, and they are preceded and followed by intervals of quiescence and ambient vibrations. Spectra for each event, for the lateral and the vertical axis of the bridge, and for and each instrument (GNSS, accelerometer) were computed, normalized to their maximum value, and printed one over the other, in order to produce a single composite spectrum for each of the four sets. In these four sets, there was also marked the true value of modal frequency, derived from free attenuating oscillations. It was found that for high SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) deflections, spectral peaks in both acceleration and displacement spectra differ by up to 0.3 Hz from the true value. For low SNR, defections spectra do not match the true frequency, but acceleration spectra provide a low-precision estimate of the true frequency. This is because various excitation effects (traffic, wind etc.) contribute with numerous peaks in a wide range of frequencies. Reliable estimates of modal frequencies can hence be derived from deflections spectra only if excitation frequencies (mostly traffic and wind) can be filtered along with most measurement noise, on the basis of additional data.
