Envelope analysis is a widely used method in fault diagnoses of rolling bearings. An optimal narrowband chosen for the envelope demodulation is critical to obtain high detection accuracy. To select the narrowband, the fast kurtogram (FK), which computes the kurtosis of a set of filtered signals, is introduced to detect cyclic transients in a signal, and the zone with the maximum kurtosis is the optimal frequency band. However, the kurtosis value is affected by rotating frequencies and is sensitive to large random impulses which normally occur in industrial applications. These factors weaken the performance of the FK for extracting weak fault features. To overcome these limitations, a novel feature named Order Spectrum Correlated Kurtosis (OSCK) is proposed, replacing the kurtosis index in the FK, to construct an improved kurtogram called Fast Order Spectrum Correlated Kurtogram (FOSCK). A band-pass filter is used to extract the optimal frequency band signal corresponding to the maximum OSCK. The envelope of the filtered signal is calculated using the Hilbert transform, and a low-pass filter is employed to eliminate the trend terms of the envelope. Then, the non-stationary filtered envelope is converted in the time domain into the stationary envelope in the angular domain via Computed Order Tracking (COT) to remove the effects of the speed fluctuation. The order structure of the angular domain envelope signal can then be used to determine the type of fault by identifying its characteristic order. This method offers several merits, such as fine order spectrum resolution and robustness to both random shock and heavy noise. Additionally, it can accurately locate the bearing fault resonance band within a relatively large speed fluctuation. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by a number of simulations and experimental bearing fault signals. The results are compared with several existing methods; the proposed method outperforms others in accurate bearing fault feature extraction under varying speed conditions.

Envelope analysis based on the combination of complex Morlet wavelet and Kurtogram have advantages of automatic calculation of the center frequency and bandwidth of required band-pass filter. However, there are some drawbacks in the traditional algorithm, which include that the filter bandwidth is not -3dB bandwidth and the analysis frequency band covered by the filter-banks are inconsistent at different levels. A new algorithm is introduced in this paper. Through it, both optimal center frequency and bandwidth of band-pass filter in the envelop analysis can be obtained adaptively. Meanwhile, it ensures that the filters in the filter-banks are overlapped at the point of -3dB bandwidth and the consistency of frequency band that the filter-banks covered.

Early fault information of rolling bearings is weak and often submerged by background noise, easily leading to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis. In order to solve this issue, the present paper puts forward a fault diagnosis method on the basis of adaptive frequency window (AFW) and sparse coding shrinkage (SCS). The proposed method is based on the idea of determining the resonance frequency band, extracting the narrowband signal, and envelope demodulating the extracted signal. Firstly, the paper introduces frequency window, which can slip on the frequency axis and extract the frequency band. Secondly, the double time domain feature entropy is proposed to evaluate the strength of periodic components in signal. The location of the optimal frequency window covering the resonance band caused by bearing fault is determined adaptively by this entropy index and the shifting/expanding frequency window. Thirdly, the signal corresponding to the optimal frequency window is reconstructed, and it is further filtered by the sparse coding shrinkage algorithm to highlight the impact feature and reduce the residue noise. Fourthly, the de-noised signal is demodulated by envelope operation, and the corresponding envelope spectrum is calculated. Finally, the bearing failure type can be judged by comparing the frequency corresponding to the spectral lines with larger amplitude in the envelope spectrum and the fault characteristic frequency. Two bearing vibration signals are applied to validate the proposed method. The analysis results illustrate that this method can extract more failure information and highlight the early failure feature. The data files of Case Western Reserve University for different operation conditions are used, and the proposed approach achieves a diagnostic success rate of 83.3%, superior to that of the AFW method, SCS method, and Fast Kurtogram method. The method presented in this paper can be used as a supplement to the early fault diagnosis method of rolling bearings.

As the key rotating parts in machinery, it is crucial to extract the latent fault features of rolling bearing in machinery condition monitoring to avoid the occurrence of sudden accidents. Unfortunately, the latent fault features are hard to extract by using the traditional signal processing method such as envelope demodulation because the effect of envelope demodulation is influenced strongly by the degree of background noise. Sparse decomposition, as a new promising method being able of capturing the latent fault feature components buried in the vibration signal, has attracted a lot of attentions, especially the predefined dictionary-based sparse decomposition methods. However, the feature extraction effect of the predefined dictionary-based sparse decomposition depends on whether the prior knowledge of the analyzed signal is sufficient or not. To overcome the above problems, a feature extraction method of latent fault components of rolling bearing based on self-learned sparse atomics and frequency band entropy is proposed in the article. First, a self-learned sparse atomics method is applied on the early weak vibration signal of rolling bearing and several self-learned atomics are obtained. Then, the self-learned atomics owing bigger kurtosis values are selected and used to reconstruct the vibration signal to remove the other interference signals. Subsequently, the frequency band entropy method is used to analyze the reconstructed vibration signal, and the optimal parameter of band-pass filter could be calculated. At last, the reconstructed vibration signal is filtered using the optimal band-pass filter, envelope demodulation on the filtered signal is applied, and better fault feature is extracted. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method are verified through the vibration data of the accelerated fatigue life test of rolling bearing. Besides, the analysis results of the same vibration data using Autogram and spectral kurtosis methods are also presented to highlight the superiority of the proposed method.

Effectively extracting power transformer partial discharge (PD) signals feature is of great significance for monitoring power transformer insulation condition. However, there has been lack of practical and effective extraction methods. For this reason, this paper suggests a novel method for the PD signal feature extraction based on multidimensional feature region. Firstly, in order to better describe differences in each frequency band of fault signals, empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) band-pass filter wave for raw signal is carried out. And the component of raw signals on each frequency band can be obtained. Secondly, the sample entropy value and the energy value of each frequency band component are calculated. Using the difference of each frequency band energy and complexity, signals feature region is established by the multidimensional energy parameters and the multidimensional sample entropy parameters to describe PD signals multidimensional feature information. Finally, partial discharge faults are classified by sphere-structured support vector machines algorithm. The result indicates that this method is able to identify and classify different partial discharge faults.

This paper presents the bandwidth enhancement and frequency scanning for fan beam array antenna utilizing novel technique of band-pass filter integration for wireless vital signs monitoring and vehicle navigation sensors. First, a fan beam array antenna comprising of a grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) radiating element, CPW fed line, and the grounded reflector is introduced which operate at a frequency band of 3.30 GHz and 3.50 GHz for WiMAX (World-wide Interoperability for Microwave Access) applications. An advantageous beam pattern is generated by the combination of a CPW feed network, non-parasitic grounded reflector, and non-planar GCPW array monopole antenna. Secondly, a miniaturized wide-band bandpass filter is developed using SCSRR (Semi-Complementary Split Ring Resonator) and DGS (Defective Ground Structures) operating at 3–8 GHz frequency band. Finally, the designed filter is integrated within the frequency scanning beam array antenna in a novel way to increase the impedance bandwidth as well as frequency scanning. The new frequency beam array antenna with integrated band-pass filter operate at 2.8 GHz to 6 GHz with a wide frequency scanning from the 50 to 125-degree range.

A Morlet-like wavelet cluster-based method for band-pass filtering and envelope demodulation is described. Via appropriate choice of wavelet parameters, a wavelet cluster combined with multi-Morlet-like wavelets can be used as a band-pass filter with zero phase shift, flat topped pass-band and rapid attenuation in the transition band. It can be used to extract high frequency natural vibration components. The imaginary part of the Morlet-like wavelet cluster is the Hilbert transformation of its real part. This can be used to implement envelope demodulation and extract the envelope component of the high frequency resonance band. The method is applied for fault diagnosis relating to bearing defects in a dry vacuum pump. It is shown that the fault characteristic frequencies can be extracted effectively. The efficacy of the method is demonstrated in experimental studies.
