Induction motors (IMs) are widely used in many manufacturing processes and industrial applications. The harsh work environment, long-time enduring, and overloads mean that it is subjected to broken rotor bar (BRB) faults. The vibration signal of IMs with BRB faults consists of the reliable modulation information used for fault diagnosis. Cyclostationary analysis has been found to be effective in identifying and extracting fault feature. The estimators of cyclic modulation spectrum (CMS) and fast spectral correlation (FSC) based on the short-time fourier transform (STFT) have higher cyclic frequency resolution, which has proven efficient in demodulating second order cyclostationary (CS2) signals. However, these two estimators have limitations of processing the maximum cyclic frequency αmax that is smaller than Fs/2 (Fs is the sampling frequency) according to Nyquist’s Theorem. In addition, they have lower carrier frequency resolution due to the fixed window size used in STFT. In order to resolve the initial shortcomings of the CMS and FSC methods, in this paper, we extended the analysis of CMS algorithm based on the continuous wavelet transform (CWT), which enlarged the maximum cyclic frequency range to Fs/2 and provides higher carrier frequency resolution because the CWT has the advantage of multi-resolution analysis. The reliability and applicability of the proposed method for fault components localization were validated by CS2 simulation signals. Compared to CMS and FSC methods, the proposed approach shows better performance by analyzing vibration signals between healthy motor and faulty motor with one BRB fault under 0%, 20%, 40%, and 80% load conditions.

In the early fault diagnosis of rolling bearing, the vibration signal is mixed with a lot of noise, resulting in the difficulties in analysis of early weak fault signal. This article introduces resonance-based signal sparse decomposition (RSSD) into rolling bearing fault diagnosis, and studies the fault information contained in high resonance component and low resonance component. This article compares the effect of the two resonance components to extract rolling bearing fault information in four aspects: the amount of fault information, frequency resolution of subbands, sensitivity to noise and immunity to autocorrelation processing. We find that the high resonance component has greater advantage in extraction of rolling bearing fault information, and it is able to indicate rolling bearing failure accurately.

In several industrial applications, rotating machinery is widely utilized in various forms. A growing amount of study, in the academic and industrial fields, as a potential sector for the confidentiality of modern industrial labor systems, has been drawing early fault diagnosis (EFD) techniques. However, EFD plays an essential role in providing sufficient information for performing maintenance activities, preventing and reducing financial loss and disastrous defaults. Many of the existing techniques for identifying rotations were ineffective. For the identification of spinning machine faults, many in-depth learning methods have recently been developed. This research report has included and analysed a number of research publications that have higher precision than standard algorithms for detecting early failures in rotating machinery. In addition to the artificial intelligence monitoring (AIM) model, detecting the defects in rotating machine was also realized through the simulation output. AIM framework model is also testing the rotating machinery in three different stages, which is based on the vibration signal obtained from the bearing system and further it has been trained with the neural network preceding. Compared to other traditional algorithms, the AIM model has achieved greater precision and also the other performance measures are tabulated in the result and discussion section.

AbstractA degradation of metallurgical equipment is normal process depended on time. Some factors such as: operation process, friction, high temperature can accelerate the degradation process of metallurgical equipment. In this paper the authors analyzed three phase induction motors. These motors are common used in the metallurgy industry, for example in conveyor belt. The diagnostics of such motors is essential. An early detection of faults prevents financial loss and downtimes. The authors proposed a technique of fault diagnosis based on recognition of currents. The authors analyzed 4 states of three phase induction motor: healthy three phase induction motor, three phase induction motor with 1 faulty rotor bar, three phase induction motor with 2 faulty rotor bars, three phase induction motor with faulty ring of squirrel-cage. An analysis was carried out for original method of feature extraction called MSAF-RATIO15 (Method of Selection of Amplitudes of Frequencies – Ratio 15% of maximum of amplitude). A classification of feature vectors was performed by Bayes classifier, Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Nearest Neighbour classifier. The proposed technique of fault diagnosis can be used for protection of three phase induction motors and other rotating electrical machines. In the near future the authors will analyze other motors and faults. There is also idea to use thermal, acoustic, electrical, vibration signal together.

Time–frequency analysis is widely used in the field of machinery condition monitoring and fault diagnosis under nonstationary conditions. Among the time–frequency methods synchrosqueezing transform outperforms others in providing fine-resolution time–frequency representation. However, it suffers from time–frequency smear when analysing nonstationary signals. To address this issue, this paper proposes a new synchrosqueezing-transform-based method which works by (1) mapping the raw nonstationary vibration signal into a corresponding stationary angle domain signal to meet the stationarity requirement of the synchrosqueezing transform, (2) performing the synchrosqueezing transform of the corresponding signal and (3) restoring the time–frequency representation of the raw signal from the synchrosqueezing transform result of the corresponding signal. As the synchrosqueezing transform is applied to the stationary corresponding signal, the time–frequency smear is eliminated in the synchrosqueezing transform result of the corresponding signal and the final signal time–frequency representation. As such the proposed method can generate a smear-free time–frequency representation with fine time–frequency resolution and thus provide more reliable diagnosis decisions. A fast implementation algorithm is also developed to simplify the implementation of the proposed method. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated using both simulated and experimental vibration signals of planetary gearboxes.

The characteristic of cyclical impact is reflected on the signal of rolling bearing in fault condition. The carrier frequency is modulated by times of the failure frequencies. When the traditional cyclical spectrum density (CSD) method is used to analyze the signal, all the modulation frequencies will be demodulated in the cyclic frequency spectrum. In this case, it is difficult to recognize the fault type of the bearing. Therefore, a new cyclical spectrum density method based on the kurtosis energy (CSDK) is proposed. The kurtosis of every cyclic frequency’s slice is used as the weight coefficient of the cyclic frequency’s energy accumulation to extract fault feature effectively. The proposed method has greatly reduced times of the harmonic frequencies’ effect in traditional CSD method. The analysis of the signal gathered from the outer rolling bearing of blast furnace belt cylinder shows that the fault feature extracted by the new method is more clear and accurate than CSD method.

The main purpose of this paper is to apply the extension method based on the spectrum of the vibration signal for motor mechanical fault diagnosis. The measured data of mechanical fault in induction motors are adopted to carry out the spectrum analysis and then establish the extension element model. According to the distance and the correlation function value concept of extension theory, one can calculate the correlation degree of various fault type and then determine the most possible category of mechanical fault in induction motors. Finally, some simulation and experimental results are made to verify the effectiveness of the proposed motor mechanical fault diagnosis method.
