Rolling bearings are important parts of mechanical equipment. However, the early failures of the bearing are usually masked by heavy noise. This brings about difficulties to the extraction of its fault features. Therefore, there is a need to develop a reliable method for early fault detection of the bearing. Considering this issue, a novel fault diagnosis method using the improved wavelet threshold denoising and fast spectral correlation (Fast-SC) is proposed. First, to solve the discontinuity of the hard threshold function and avoid the constant deviation triggered by the soft threshold function, a piecewise continuous threshold function is proposed by using a new threshold selection rule to denoise the original signal. In the new threshold function, the adjuster α is introduced to improve the traditional wavelet denoising algorithm, so as to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the original signal more effectively. Then, the denoised signal is analysed by Fast-SC to identify the rolling bearing fault features. Finally, simulation analysis and experimental data demonstrate that the proposed approach is effective for rolling bearing fault detection compared with Fast-SC and the combined method based on traditional wavelet threshold and Fast-SC.

Mechanical equipment fault diagnosis occupies an important position in the industrial production, and feature extraction plays an important role in fault diagnosis. This paper analyzes various methods of feature extraction in rolling bearing fault diagnosis and classifies them into two big categories, which are methods of depending on empirical rules and experimental trials and using objective methods for screening. The former includes five methods: frequency as the characteristic parameters, multi-sensor information fusion method, rough set attribute reduction method, "zoom" method and vibration signal as the characteristic parameters. The latter includes two methods: sensitivity extraction and data mining methods to select attributes. Currently, selection methods of feature parameters depend heavily on empirical rules and experimental trials, thus extraction results are be subjected to restriction from subjective level, feature extraction in the future will develop toward objective screening direction.

It is challenging to extract weak impulse features from vibration signals corrupted by strong noise in mechanical fault diagnosis. Due to its simple calculation, fast convergence and easy implementation, K-singular value decomposition (K-SVD) has been widely used in rolling bearing fault diagnosis. However, it fails to consider the influence of noise and harmonics on atoms learning from impulse characteristics, which results in many irrelevant atoms, and then increases the difficulty of extracting the impulse features in bearing fault signals. Therefore, a clustering K-SVD-based sparse representation method is proposed in this paper and it is combined with the particle swarm optimisation (PSO)-based time-varying filter empirical mode decomposition (TVF-EMD) for rolling bearing fault diagnosis. The PSO-based TVF-EMD is developed to automatically decompose the original signal to eliminate the impact of noise and harmonics on the impulses in the signal. Then, the clustering K-SVD method is applied to perform dictionary learning on the sensitive component containing impulses to obtain a redundant dictionary of atoms with obvious impulse patterns. Finally, the orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithm is introduced to extract the fault features from rolling bearing vibration signals. The experimental results show that the proposed method can improve the robustness of the dictionary atoms to noise and achieve the extraction of rolling bearing fault features.

In the rolling bearing fault detection, the Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT) has made remarkable achievements, but at present, the HHT still has the end effect problem, which will cause a lot of data distortion, spectrum confusion that will affect fault diagnosis result and error in the detection of rolling bearing faults in a serious manner. In response to this problem, this paper proposes a method of multi-point continuation at both ends of the signal to suppress the endpoint effectExtend at both ends of the signal, then perform empirical mode decomposition (EMD). The experimental comparison shows that the method has an effect on the endpoint effect.

The vibration signal induced by bearing local fault has strong nonstationary and nonlinear property, which indicates that the conventional methods are difficult to recognize bearing fault patterns effectively. Hence, to obtain an efficient diagnosis result, the paper proposes an intelligent fault diagnosis approach for rolling bearing integrated symplectic geometry mode decomposition (SGMD), improved multiscale symbolic dynamic entropy (IMSDE) and multiclass relevance vector machine (MRVM). Firstly, SGMD is employed to decompose the original bearing vibration signal into several symplectic geometry components (SGC), which is aimed at reconstructing the original bearing vibration signal and achieving the purpose of noise reduction. Secondly, the bat algorithm (BA)-based optimized IMSDE is presented to evaluate the complexity of reconstruction signal and extract bearing fault features, which can solve the problems of missing of partial fault information existing in the original multiscale symbolic dynamic entropy (MSDE). Finally, IMSDE-based bearing fault features are fed to MRVM for achieving the identification of bearing fault categories. The validity of the proposed method is verified by the experimental and contrastive analysis. The results show that our approach can precisely identify different fault patterns of rolling bearings. Moreover, our approach can achieve higher recognition accuracy than several existing methods involved in this paper. This study provides a new research idea for improvement of bearing fault identification.

Fault diagnosis methods based on deep learning and big data have achieved good results on rotating machinery. However, the conventional deep learning method of bearing fault diagnosis is mostly based on laboratory artificial simulation data, and there is an error with actual fault data, which will reduce the generalization performance of the deep learning method. In addition, labeled data are very precious in real industrial environment. Due to expensive equipment and personnel safety issues, it is difficult to obtain a large amount of high-quality fault labeling data. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a metric-based meta-learning method named Reinforce Relation Network (RRN) for diagnosing bearing faults with few-shot samples. In the proposed method, a 1D convolution neural network is used to extract fault features, and a metric learner is used to predict the similarity between samples under different transfer conditions. Label smoothing and the Adabound algorithm are utilized to further improve the performance of network classification. The performance of the proposed method is verified on a dataset which contains artificial damage and natural damage data. The comparison studies with other methods demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method in the few-shot scenario.

Compound fault diagnosis is challenging due to the complexity, diversity and non-stationary characteristics of mechanical complex faults. In this paper, a novel compound fault separation method based on singular negentropy difference spectrum (SNDS) and integrated fast spectral correlation (IFSC) is proposed. Firstly, the original signal was de-noised by SNDS which improved the noise reduction effect of singular difference spectrum by introducing negative entropy. Secondly, the de-noised signal was analyzed by fast spectral correlation. Finally, IFSC took the fourth-order energy as the index to determine the resonance band and separate the fault features of different single fault. The proposed method is applied to analyze the simulated compound signals and the experimental vibration signals, the results show that the proposed method has excellent performance in the separation of rolling bearing composite faults.

In order to process the vagueness in vibration fault diagnosis of rolling bearing, a new correlation coefficient of simplified neutrosophic sets (SNSs) is proposed. Vibration signals of rolling bearings are acquired by an acceleration sensor, and a morphological filter is used to reduce the noise effect. Wavelet packet is applied to decompose the vibration signals into eight subfrequency bands, and the eigenvectors associated with energy eigenvalue of each frequency are extracted for fault features. The SNSs of each fault types are established according to energy eigenvectors. Finally, a correlation coefficient of two SNSs is proposed to diagnose the bearing fault types. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively diagnose the bearing faults.
