The health condition monitoring of rotating machinery can avoid the disastrous failure and guarantee the safe operation. The vibration-based fault diagnosis shows the most attractive character for fault diagnosis of rotating machinery (FDRM). Recently, Lempel-Ziv complexity (LZC) has been investigated as an effective tool for FDRM. However, the LZC only performs single-scale analysis, which is not suitable to extract the fault features embedded in vibrational signal over multiple scales. In this paper, a novel complexity analysis algorithm, called hierarchical Lempel-Ziv complexity (HLZC), was developed to extract the fault characteristics of rotating machinery. The proposed HLZC method considers the fault information hidden in both low-frequency and high-frequency components, resulting in a more accurate fault feature extraction. The superiority of the proposed HLZC method in detecting the periodical impulses was validated by using simulated signals. Meanwhile, two experimental signals were utilized to prove the effectiveness of the proposed HLZC method in extracting fault information. Results show that the proposed HLZC method had the best diagnosing performance compared with LZC and multi-scale Lempel-Ziv complexity methods.

It is common for the imbalance-crack coupling fault in rotating machinery, while the crack information is often overshadowed by unbalanced fault information, which is difficult to extract the crack signal. In order to extract the crack signal of the imbalance-crack coupling fault, and realize the fault diagnosis, the paper mainly analyzes its mechanical properties, and then use wavelet packet to de-nosing, decomposing and reconstructing the acquisition of vibration acceleration signal, and then analyzing the characteristics of frequency domain of the fault signal by using the energy spectrum. So the experiment proved that analyze and dispose the acquisition of the fault signal by using the method of the energy spectrum and the wavelet packet, which can effectively distinguish between the crack signal and unbalanced signals in imbalance-crack coupling faults .It also can provide some reference for the diagnosis and prevention for such fault.

Fault feature extraction of rotating machinery is crucial and challenging due to its nonlinear and nonstationary characteristics. In order to resolve this difficulty, a quality nonlinear fault feature extraction method is required. Hierarchical permutation entropy has been proven to be a promising nonlinear feature extraction method for fault diagnosis of rotating machinery. Compared with multiscale permutation entropy, hierarchical permutation entropy considers the fault information hidden in both high frequency and low frequency components. However, hierarchical permutation entropy still has some shortcomings, such as poor statistical stability for short time series and inability of analyzing multichannel signals. To address such disadvantages, this paper proposes a new entropy method, called refined composite multivariate hierarchical permutation entropy. Refined composite multivariate hierarchical permutation entropy can extract rich fault information hidden in multichannel signals synchronously. Based on refined composite multivariate hierarchical permutation entropy and random forest, a novel fault diagnosis framework is proposed in this paper. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated using experimental and simulated signals. The results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms multivariate multiscale fuzzy entropy, refined composite multivariate multiscale fuzzy entropy, multivariate multiscale sample entropy, multivariate multiscale permutation entropy, multivariate hierarchical permutation entropy, and composite multivariate hierarchical permutation entropy in recognizing the different faults of rotating machinery.

With a view to solving the defect that multiscale amplitude-aware permutation entropy (MAAPE) can only quantify the low-frequency features of time series and ignore the high-frequency features which are equally important, a novel nonlinear time series feature extraction method, hierarchical amplitude-aware permutation entropy (HAAPE), is proposed. By constructing high and low-frequency operators, this method can extract the features of different frequency bands of time series simultaneously, so as to avoid the issue of information loss. In view of its advantages, HAAPE is introduced into the field of fault diagnosis to extract fault features from vibration signals of rotating machinery. Combined with the pairwise feature proximity (PWFP) feature selection method and gray wolf algorithm optimization support vector machine (GWO-SVM), a new intelligent fault diagnosis method for rotating machinery is proposed. In our method, firstly, HAPPE is adopted to extract the original high and low-frequency fault features of rotating machinery. After that, PWFP is used to sort the original features, and the important features are filtered to obtain low-dimensional sensitive feature vectors. Finally, the sensitive feature vectors are input into GWO-SVM for training and testing, so as to realize the fault identification of rotating machinery. The performance of the proposed method is verified using two data sets of bearing and gearbox. The results show that the proposed method enjoys obvious advantages over the existing methods, and the identification accuracy reaches 100%.

Case-based intelligent fault diagnosis methods of rotating machinery can deal with new faults effectively by adding them into the case library. However, case-based methods scarcely refer to automatic feature extraction, and k-nearest neighbor (KNN) commonly required by case-based methods is unable to determine the nearest neighbors for different testing samples adaptively. To solve these problems, a new intelligent fault diagnosis method of rotating machinery is proposed based on enhanced KNN (EKNN), which can take advantage of both parameter-based and case-based methods. First, EKNN is embedded with a dimension-reduction stage, which extracts the discriminative features of samples via sparse filtering (SF). Second, to locate the nearest neighbors for various testing samples adaptively, a case-based reconstruction algorithm is designed to obtain the correlation vectors between training samples and testing samples. Finally, according to the optimized correlation vector of each testing sample, its nearest neighbors can be adaptively selected to obtain its corresponding health condition label. Extensive experiments on vibration signal datasets of bearings are also conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

With a view to realizing the fault diagnosis of rotating machinery effectively, an integrated health condition detection approach for rotating machinery based on refined composite multivariate multiscale amplitude-aware permutation entropy (RCmvMAAPE), max-relevance and min-redundancy (mRmR), and whale optimization algorithm-based kernel extreme learning machine (WOA-KELM) is presented in this paper. The approach contains two crucial parts: health detection and fault recognition. In health detection stage, multivariate amplitude-aware permutation entropy (mvAAPE) is proposed to detect whether there is a fault in rotating machinery. Afterward, if it is detected that there is a fault, RCmvMAAPE is employed to extract the initial fault features that represent the fault states from the multivariate vibration signals. Based on the multivariate expansion and multiscale expansion of amplitude-aware permutation entropy, RCmvMAAPE enjoys the ability to effectively extract state information on multiple scales from multichannel series, thereby overcoming the defect of information loss in traditional methods. Then, mRmR is adopted to screen the sensitive features so as to form sensitive feature vectors, which are input into the WOA-KELM classifier for fault classification. Two typical rotating machinery cases are conducted to prove the effectiveness of the raised approach. The experimental results demonstrate that mvAAPE shows excellent performance in fault detection and can effectively detect the fault of rotating machinery. Meanwhile, the feature extraction method based on RCmvMAAPE and mRmR, as well as the classifier based on WOA-KELM, shows superior performance in feature extraction and fault recognition, respectively. Compared with other fault identification methods, the raised method enjoys better performance and the average fault recognition accuracy of the two typical cases in this paper can all reach above 98%.

The fuzzy-entropy-based complexity metric approach has achieved fruitful results in bearing fault diagnosis. However, traditional hierarchical fuzzy entropy (HFE) and multiscale fuzzy entropy (MFE) only excavate bearing fault information on different levels or scales, but do not consider bearing fault information on both multiple layers and multiple scales at the same time, thus easily resulting in incomplete fault information extraction and low-rise identification accuracy. Besides, the key parameters of most existing entropy-based complexity metric methods are selected based on specialist experience, which indicates that they lack self-adaptation. To address these problems, this paper proposes a new intelligent bearing fault diagnosis method based on self-adaptive hierarchical multiscale fuzzy entropy. On the one hand, by integrating the merits of HFE and MFE, a novel complexity metric method, named hierarchical multiscale fuzzy entropy (HMFE), is presented to extract a multidimensional feature matrix of the original bearing vibration signal, where the important parameters of HMFE are automatically determined by using the bird swarm algorithm (BSA). On the other hand, a nonlinear feature matrix classifier with strong robustness, known as support matrix machine (SMM), is introduced for learning the discriminant fault information directly from the extracted multidimensional feature matrix and automatically identifying different bearing health conditions. Two experimental results on bearing fault diagnosis show that the proposed method can obtain average identification accuracies of 99.92% and 99.83%, respectively, which are higher those of several representative entropies reported by this paper. Moreover, in the two experiments, the standard deviations of identification accuracy of the proposed method were, respectively, 0.1687 and 0.2705, which are also greater than those of the comparison methods mentioned in this paper. The effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method are verified by the experimental results.

Abstract Intelligent fault diagnosis provides great convenience for the prognostic and health management of the rotating machinery. Recently, the entropy-based feature extraction method has aroused researchers’ attentions due to its independence with prior knowledge, unnecessary of preprocessing, and easy to perform. The multiscale diversity entropy has been proven to be a promising feature extraction method for the intelligent fault diagnosis. Compared to the existing entropy methods, the multiscale diversity entropy has advantages of high consistency, strong robustness and high calculation efficiency. However, the multiscale diversity entropy encounters the challenge to extract features for early fault diagnosis due to the weak fault symptoms and strong noise. This can be attributed to the multiscale diversity entropy only concerns the fault information embedded in the low frequency, which ignores the information hidden in the high frequency. To address this defect, the hierarchical diversity entropy (HDE) is proposed, which can synchronously extract fault information hidden in both high and low frequency. Based on HDE and random forest, a novel intelligent fault diagnosis frame has been proposed. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been evaluated through simulated and experimental bearing signals. The results show that the proposed HDE has the best feature extraction ability compare to multiscale sample entropy, multiscale permutation entropy, multiscale fuzzy entropy, and multiscale diversity entropy.

It is well known that the structure information on the specimen is not always faithfully transferred through the electron microscope. Firstly, the spatial frequency spectrum is modulated by the transfer function (TF) at the focal plane. Secondly, the spectrum suffers high frequency cut-off by the aperture (or effectively damping terms such as chromatic aberration). While these do not have essential effect on imaging crystal periodicity as long as the low order Bragg spots are inside the aperture, although the contrast may be reversed, they may change the appearance of images of amorphous materials completely. Because the spectrum of amorphous materials is continuous, modulation of it emphasizes some components while weakening others. Especially the cut-off of high frequency components, which contribute to amorphous image just as strongly as low frequency components can have a fundamental effect. This can be illustrated through computer simulation. Imaging of a whitenoise object with an electron microscope without TF limitation gives Fig. 1a, which is obtained by Fourier transformation of a constant amplitude combined with random phases generated by computer.
