The frequency-domain analysis using the fast Fourier transform (FFT) for diagnosis of eccentricity fault has been widely used in squirrel-cage induction motor (IM). However, with the restriction of sampling frequency and time acquisition, FFT analysis could not provide ideal results under low levels of dynamic eccentricity (DE). In this paper, a combined use of the wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) and empirical mode decomposition (EMD) method is presented to diagnose the IM fault under low degrees of purely DE. The proposed method is based on the decomposition of apparent power signal and extracts the characteristic component. The fault severity factor (FSF) has been defined to evaluate the eccentricity severity. Simulation results using the finite element method (FEM) are tested to verify the effectiveness of the presented method under different load conditions.

In order to improve the fault detection accuracy for rolling bearings, an automated fault diagnosis system is presented based on lifting wavelet packet transform (LWPT), sample entropy (SampEn), and classifier ensemble. Bearing vibration signals are firstly decomposed into different frequency subbands through a three-level LWPT, resulting in a total of 8 frequency-band signals throughout the third layers of the LWPT decomposition tree. The SampEns of all the 8 components are then calculated as feature vectors. Such a feature extraction paradigm is expected to depict complexity, irregularity, and nonstationarity of bearing vibrations. Moreover, a novel classifier ensemble is proposed to alleviate the effect of initial parameters on the performance of member classifiers and to improve classification effectiveness. Experiments were conducted on electric motor bearings considering various set of fault categories and fault severity levels. Experimental results demonstrate the proposed diagnosis system can effectively improve bearing fault recognition accuracy and stability in comparison with diagnosis methods based on a single classifier.

The acoustic signal of mechanical watch is a distinct multi-component signal. It contains many frequency components corresponding to specific escapement motion sources with a very wide frequency range. Therefore, it is challenging for signature analysis of mechanical watch by the acoustic signal. This paper studies the time-frequency signatures of the mechanical watch based on wavelet decomposition. Two methods are proposed to improve the frequency resolution of traditional wavelet techniques by combining other beneficial techniques in the sense of decomposing specific mono- or independent components. The empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is presented to advance the wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) to decompose the mono-component signals. And the blind source separation (BSS) makes the redundancy of continuous wavelet transform (CWT) further gain good frequency resolution in the independent meaning. The decomposed signals by the two methods reveal the insight of mechanical watch movement and can contribute much simpler and clearer time-frequency signatures. Experimental results indicated the effectiveness of the two methods and the value of the time-frequency signatures in analyzing and diagnosing mechanical watch movements.

Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) is a new time-frequency-domain analysis method, which is suitable for non-stationary and nonlinear signals. In this paper, endpoint continuation and ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) decomposition method are introduced to improve the HHT, which solve the endpoint winger and modal aliasing problem. The improved HHT (IHHT) is used for analyzing the harmonic signal and detecting the fault signal of power system. Simulation results show that IHHT is feasible and effective for harmonic analysis and fault detection.

In light of the complex and non-stationary characteristics of misalignment vibration signal, this paper proposed a novel method to analyze in time-frequency domain under different working conditions. Firstly, decompose raw misalignment signal into different frequency bands by wavelet packet (WP) and reconstruct it in accordance with the band energy to remove noises. Secondly, employ empirical mode decomposition (EMD) to the reconstructed signal to obtain a certain number of stationary intrinsic mode functions (IMF). Finally, apply further spectrum analysis on the interested IMFs. In this way, weak signal is caught and dominant frequency is picked up for the diagnosis of misalignment fault. Experimental results show that the proposed method is able to detect misalignment fault characteristic frequency effectively.

Introduction: A number of computer- aided diagnosis systems for depression are being offered to be used by the clinicians as a method to authorize the diagnosis. EEG may be used as an objective analysis tool for identification of depression in the initial stage so as to avoid it from reaching a severe and permanent state. However, artifact contamination reduces the accuracy in EEG signal processing systems. Methods: This work proposes a novel denoising method based on EMD (Empirical Mode Decomposition) with detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) and wavelet packet transform. As the first stage, real EEG recordings corresponding to depression patients are decomposed into various mode functions by applying EMD. Then, DFA is used as the mode selection criteria. Further wavelet packets decomposition (WPD) based evaluation is used to extract the cleaner signal. Results: Simulations have been carried out on real EEG databases for depression to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed techniques. To conclude the efficacy of the proposed technique, SNR and MAE have been identified. The results show improved signal to noise ratio and lower values of MAE for the combined EMD-DFA-WPD technique. Also, Random Forest and SVM (Support Vector Machine) based classification shows improved accuracy of 98.51% and 98.10% for the proposed denoising technique. Whereas the accuracy of the EMD- DFA is 98.01% and 95.81% and EMD combined with DWT technique is 98.0% and 97.21% for the EMD- DFA technique for RF and SVM respectively as compared to the proposed method. Also, the classification performance for both the classifiers has been compared with and without denoising to highlight the effectiveness of the proposed technique. Conclusion: Proposed denoising system results in better classification of depressed and healthy individuals resulting in better diagnosing system. These results can be further analyzed using other approaches as a solution to the mode mixing problem of EMD approach.

Abstract In order to achieve accurate fault diagnosis of rolling bearing under random noise, a new fault diagnosis method based on wavelet packet-variational mode decomposition (WP-VMD) and kernel extreme learning machine (KELM) optimized by particle swarm optimization (PSO) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the time-frequency domain feature vectors of the original rolling bearing fault signals are effectively obtained by preprocessing of WMD and decomposition and reconstruction of VMD. Then, the extracted two-dimensional feature vector is input into the KELM neural network for fault identification, and combined with PSO, KELM parameters were optimized. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively diagnose the rolling bearing under random noise, with the features of fast speed, stable performance and high accuracy. By comparison, this paper obtains better accuracy and real-time performance with fewer features, which provides a simple and efficient solution for fault diagnosis of rolling bearings.

Many people lose their motor function because of spinal cord injury or stroke. This work studies the patient’s continuous movement intention of joint angles based on surface electromyography (sEMG), which will be used for rehabilitation. In this study, we introduced a new sEMG feature extraction method based on wavelet packet decomposition, built a prediction model based on the extreme learning machine (ELM) and analyzed the correlation between sEMG signals and joint angles based on the detrended cross-correlation analysis. Twelve individuals participated in rehabilitation tasks, to test the performance of the proposed method. Five channels of sEMG signals were recorded, and denoised by the empirical mode decomposition. The prediction accuracy of the wavelet packet feature-based ELM prediction model was found to be 96.23% ± 2.36%. The experimental results clearly indicate that the wavelet packet feature and ELM is a better combination to build a prediction model.
