When rolling bearings have a local fault, the real bearing vibration signal related to the local fault is characterized by the properties of nonlinear and nonstationary. To extract the useful fault features from the collected nonlinear and nonstationary bearing vibration signals and improve diagnostic accuracy, this paper proposes a new bearing fault diagnosis method based on parameter adaptive variational mode extraction (PAVME) and multiscale envelope dispersion entropy (MEDE). Firstly, a new method hailed as parameter adaptive variational mode extraction (PAVME) is presented to process the collected original bearing vibration signal and obtain the frequency components related to bearing faults, where its two important parameters (i.e., the penalty factor and mode center-frequency) are automatically determined by whale optimization algorithm. Subsequently, based on the processed bearing vibration signal, an effective complexity evaluation approach named multiscale envelope dispersion entropy (MEDE) is calculated for conducting bearing fault feature extraction. Finally, the extracted fault features are fed into the k-nearest neighbor (KNN) to automatically identify different health conditions of rolling bearing. Case studies and contrastive analysis are performed to validate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method. Experimental results show that the proposed method can not only effectively extract bearing fault features, but also obtain a high identification accuracy for bearing fault patterns under single or variable speed.

A new auto gearbox bearing fault diagnosis method is put forward based on Winger distribution and SVD of vibration signal. Firstly, bearing vibration signal was analyzed by Winger distribution; then, signature sequence was obtained by SVD, which can reflect the gearbox fault condition; finally, singular values of the vibration signal Winger spectrums were selected as feature vectors to diagnose fault based SVM. Experiments show that this method can extract fault feature effectively.

This paper presents a fault diagnosis method of roller bearings based on intrinsic mode function (IMF) kurtosis and support vector machine (SVM). In order to improve the performance of kurtosis under strong levels of background noise, the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) method is used to decompose the bearing vibration signals into a number of IMFs. The IMF kurtosis is then calculated because of its sensitivity of impulses caused by faults. Subsequently, the IMF kurtosis values are treated as fault feature vectors and input into SVM for fault classification. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach in roller bearing fault diagnosis.

In view of the incipient fault characteristics are difficult to be extracted from the raw bearing fault signals, an incipient bearing fault diagnosis method based on parameter-adaptive variational mode decomposition (VMD) is proposed. The beetle antennae search (BAS) algorithm is adopted to seek for the optimal combination of the VMD parameters. The reciprocals of the calculated kurtosis values of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) decomposed via VMD are employed as a fitness function in the searching process. The optimal mode number and the quadratic penalty term of VMD are adaptively set after the search. Afterwards, a vibration signal is decomposed into a set of IMFs using the parameter-adaptive VMD, and the IMF with the maximal kurtosis value is selected as the sensitive one. The selected IMF is further analyzed by Hilbert envelope demodulation. The resulting envelope spectrum can show the significant fault impulse characteristics which are highly helpful to diagnose incipient bearing faults. The kurtosis and the proportion of fault energy are introduced as the input vector of the extreme learning machine (ELM). Comparisons have been conducted via ELM to evaluate the performance by using EMD and the fixed-parameter VMD. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is more effective in extracting the incipient bearing fault characteristics.

A convolutional neural network (CNN) has been used to successfully realize end-to-end bearing fault diagnosis due to its powerful feature extraction ability. However, the CNN is prone to focus on local information, ignoring the relationship between the whole and the part of the signal due to its unique structure. In addition, it extracts some fault features with poor robustness under noisy environment. A novel diagnosis model based on feature fusion and feature selection, GL-mRMR-SVM, is proposed to address this problem in this paper. First, the model combines the global features in the time-domain and frequency-domain of the raw data with the local features extracted by CNN to make full use of the signal information and overcome the weakness of traditional CNNs neglecting the overall signal. Then, the max-relevance min-redundancy (mRMR) algorithm is used to automatically extract the discriminative features from the fused features without any prior knowledge. Finally, the extracted discriminative features are input into the SVM for training and output the fault recognition results. The proposed GL-mRMR-SVM model was evaluated through experiments on bearing data of Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) and CUT-2 platform. The experimental results show that the proposed method is more effective than other intelligent diagnosis methods.

Feature extraction from a signal is the most important step in signal-based fault diagnosis. Deep learning or deep neural network (DNN) is an effective method to extract features from signals. In this paper, a novel vibration signal-based bearing fault diagnosis method using DNN is proposed. First, the measured vibration signals are transformed into a new data form called multiple-domain image-representation. By this transformation, the task of signal-based fault diagnosis is transferred into the task of image classification. After that, a DNN with a multi-branch structure is proposed to handle the multiple-domain image representation data. The multi-branch structure of the proposed DNN helps to extract features in multiple domains simultaneously, and to lead to better feature extraction. Better feature extraction leads to a better performance of fault diagnosis. The effectiveness of the proposed method was verified via the experiments conducted with actual bearing fault signals and its comparisons with well-established published methods.

The vibration signal induced by bearing local fault has strong nonstationary and nonlinear property, which indicates that the conventional methods are difficult to recognize bearing fault patterns effectively. Hence, to obtain an efficient diagnosis result, the paper proposes an intelligent fault diagnosis approach for rolling bearing integrated symplectic geometry mode decomposition (SGMD), improved multiscale symbolic dynamic entropy (IMSDE) and multiclass relevance vector machine (MRVM). Firstly, SGMD is employed to decompose the original bearing vibration signal into several symplectic geometry components (SGC), which is aimed at reconstructing the original bearing vibration signal and achieving the purpose of noise reduction. Secondly, the bat algorithm (BA)-based optimized IMSDE is presented to evaluate the complexity of reconstruction signal and extract bearing fault features, which can solve the problems of missing of partial fault information existing in the original multiscale symbolic dynamic entropy (MSDE). Finally, IMSDE-based bearing fault features are fed to MRVM for achieving the identification of bearing fault categories. The validity of the proposed method is verified by the experimental and contrastive analysis. The results show that our approach can precisely identify different fault patterns of rolling bearings. Moreover, our approach can achieve higher recognition accuracy than several existing methods involved in this paper. This study provides a new research idea for improvement of bearing fault identification.

Bearing fault diagnosis under constant operational condition has been widely investigated. Monitoring the bearing vibration signal in the frequency domain is an effective approach to diagnose a bearing fault since each fault type has a specific Fault Characteristic Frequency (FCF). However, in real applications, bearings are often running under time-varying speed conditions which makes the signal non-stationary and the FCF time-varying. Order tracking is a commonly used method to resample the non-stationary signal to a stationary signal. However, the accuracy of order tracking is affected by many factors such as the precision of the measured shaft rotating speed and the interpolation methods used. Therefore, resampling-free methods are of interest for bearing fault diagnosis under time-varying speed conditions. With the development of Time-Frequency Representation (TFR) techniques, such as the Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) and wavelet transform, bearing fault characteristics can be shown in the time-frequency domain. However, for bearing fault diagnosis, instantaneous time-frequency characteristics, i.e. Time-Frequency (T-F) curves, have to be extracted from the TFR. In this paper, an algorithm for multiple T-F curve extraction is proposed based on a path-optimization approach to extract T-F curves from the TFR of the bearing vibration signal. The bearing fault can be diagnosed by matching the curves to the Instantaneous Fault Characteristic Frequency (IFCF) and its harmonics. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is validated by experimental data collected from a faulty bearing with an outer race fault and a faulty bearing with an inner race fault, respectively.

Abstract To improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis of ship propulsion shaft bearing in a harsh working environment, a visual diagnosis method based on incrementally accumulated holographic symmetrical dot pattern (SDP) characteristic fusion method is proposed in this research. The current study simultaneously extracts the time- and frequency-domain characteristic parameters of vibration signal based on the incremental accumulation method to avoid inconspicuous difference and small discrimination generated by a single parameter. Subsequently, the extracted characteristic signals are transformed into a 2D image based on the SDP method to enhance the differences between signals. Eventually, bearing fault is diagnosed based on the similarity recognition method. Simulation and engineering experiments were conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. Results demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively diagnose the ship propulsion shaft bearing fault diagnosis.
