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.

It is difficult to extract the fault signal features of locomotive rolling bearings and the accuracy of fault diagnosis is low. In this paper, a novel fault diagnosis method based on the optimized variational mode decomposition (VMD) and resonance demodulation technology, namely GNVRFD, is proposed to realize the fault diagnosis of locomotive rolling bearings. In the proposed GNVRFD method, the genetic algorithm and nonlinear programming are combined to design a novel parameter optimization algorithm to adaptively optimize the two parameters of the VMD. Then the optimized VMD is employed to decompose the collected vibration signal into a series of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), and the kurtosis value of each IMF is calculated, respectively. According to the principle of maximum value, two most sensitive IMF components are selected to reconstruct the vibration signal. The resonance demodulation technology is used to decompose the reconstructed vibration signal in order to obtain the envelope spectrum, and the fault frequency of locomotive rolling bearings is effectively obtained. Finally, the actual data of rolling bearings is selected to testify the effectiveness of the proposed GNVRFD method. The experiment results demonstrate that the proposed GNVRFD method can more accurately and effectively diagnose the fault of locomotive rolling bearings by comparing with other fault diagnosis methods.

The Impact

When early failures in rolling bearings occur, we need to be able to extract weak fault characteristic frequencies under the influence of strong noise and then perform fault diagnosis. Therefore, a new method is proposed: complete ensemble intrinsic time-scale decomposition with adaptive Lévy noise (CEITDALN). This method solves the problem of the traditional complete ensemble intrinsic time-scale decomposition with adaptive noise (CEITDAN) method not being able to filter nonwhite noise in measured vibration signal noise. Therefore, in the method proposed in this paper, a noise model in the form of parameter-adjusted noise is used to replace traditional white noise. We used an optimization algorithm to adaptively adjust the model parameters, reducing the impact of nonwhite noise on the feature frequency extraction. The experimental results for the simulation and vibration signals of rolling bearings showed that the CEITDALN method could extract weak fault features more effectively than traditional methods.

Variational mode decomposition provides a feasible method for non-stationary signal analysis, but the method is still not adaptive, which greatly limits the wide application of the method. Therefore, an adaptive spectrum mode extraction method is proposed in this article. The proposed method is mainly composed of spectral segmentation, mode extraction, and feedback adjustment. In the spectral segmentation part, considering the lack of robustness of classical scale space in a strong noise environment, this article proposes a method of fault feature mapping, which solves over-decomposition of variational mode decomposition guided by classical scale space. In the mode extraction part, for insufficient self-adaptability of the single penalty factor in the variational mode decomposition method, this article proposes a method of spectral aggregation factor, which solves multiple penalty factors that conform to different intrinsic modal functions. In the feedback adjustment part, this article proposes the method of transboundary criterion, which makes the result of variational mode decomposition within a preset range. Finally, using dispersion entropy and kurtosis indicators, intrinsic modal function components containing fault frequencies are extracted for envelope spectrum analysis to extract fault characteristic frequencies. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, the proposed method is applied to simulation signals and bearing fault signals. Comparing the decomposition results of different methods, the conclusion shows that the proposed method is more advantageous for the fault feature extraction of rolling bearings.

This paper proposes a new method named composite multiscale fluctuation dispersion entropy (CMFDE), which measures the complexity of time series under different scale factors and synthesizes the information of multiple coarse-grained sequences. A simulation validates that CMFDE could improve the stability of entropy estimation. Meanwhile, a fault recognition method for rolling bearings based on CMFDE, the minimum redundancy maximum relevancy (mRMR) method, and the k nearest neighbor (kNN) classifier (CMFDE-mRMR-kNN) is developed. For the CMFDE-mRMR-kNN method, the CMFDE method is introduced to extract the fault characteristics of the rolling bearings. Then, the sensitive features are obtained by utilizing the mRMR method. Finally, the kNN classifier is used to recognize the different conditions of the rolling bearings. The effectiveness of the proposed CMFDE-mRMR-kNN method is verified by analyzing the standard experimental dataset. The experimental results show that the proposed fault diagnosis method can effectively classify the conditions of rolling bearings.

Fault Feature Extraction

Fault diagnosis of rolling bearings is not a trivial task because fault-induced periodic transient impulses are always submerged in environmental noise as well as large accidental impulses and attenuated by transmission path. In most hybrid diagnostic methods available for rolling bearings, the problems lie in twofolds. First, most optimization indices used in the individual signal processing stage do not take the periodical characteristic of fault transient impulses into consideration. Second, the individual stages make use of different optimization indices resulting in inconsistent optimization directions and possibly an unsatisfied diagnosis. To solve these problems, a multistage fault feature extraction method of consistent optimization for rolling bearings based on correlated kurtosis (CK) is proposed where maximum correlated kurtosis deconvolution (MCKD) is employed to attenuate the influence of transmission path followed by tunable Q factor wavelet transform (TQWT) to further enhance fault features by decomposing the preprocessed signals into multiple subbands under different Q values. The major contribution of the proposed approach is to consistently use CK as an optimization index of both MCKD and TQWT. The subband signal with the maximum CK which is an index being able to measure the periodical transient impulses in vibration signal yields an envelope spectrum, from which fault diagnosis is implemented. Simulated and experimental signals verified the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed method.

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.

Rolling bearings are a vital and widely used component in modern industry, relating to the production efficiency and remaining life of a device. An effective and robust fault diagnosis method for rolling bearings can reduce the downtime caused by unexpected failures. Thus, a novel fault diagnosis method for rolling bearings by fine-sorted dispersion entropy and mutation sine cosine algorithm and particle swarm optimization (SCA-PSO) optimized support vector machine (SVM) is presented to diagnose a fault of various sizes, locations and motor loads. Vibration signals collected from different types of faults are firstly decomposed by variational mode decomposition (VMD) into sets of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), where the decomposing mode number K is determined by the central frequency observation method, thus, to weaken the non-stationarity of original signals. Later, the improved fine-sorted dispersion entropy (FSDE) is proposed to enhance the perception for relationship information between neighboring elements and then employed to construct the feature vectors of different fault samples. Afterward, a hybrid optimization strategy combining advantages of mutation operator, sine cosine algorithm and particle swarm optimization (MSCAPSO) is proposed to optimize the SVM model. The optimal SVM model is subsequently applied to realize the pattern recognition for different fault samples. The superiority of the proposed method is assessed through multiple contrastive experiments. Result analysis indicates that the proposed method achieves better precision and stability over some relevant methods, whereupon it is promising in the field of fault diagnosis for rolling bearings.
