Vibration signals are used to diagnosis faults of the rolling bearing which is symmetric structure. Stochastic resonance (SR) has been widely applied in weak signal feature extraction in recent years. It can utilize noise and enhance weak signals. However, the traditional SR method has poor performance, and it is difficult to determine parameters of SR. Therefore, a new second-order tristable SR method (STSR) based on a new potential combining the classical bistable potential with Woods-Saxon potential is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the envelope signal of rolling bearings is the input signal of STSR. Then, the output of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is used as the fitness function of the Seeker Optimization Algorithm (SOA) in order to optimize the parameters of SR. Finally, the optimal parameters are used to set the STSR system in order to enhance and extract weak signals of rolling bearings. Simulated and experimental signals are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of STSR. The diagnosis results show that the proposed STSR method can obtain higher output SNR and better filtering performance than the traditional SR methods. It provides a new idea for fault diagnosis of rotating machinery.

The early fault signal of rolling bearings is very weak, and when analyzed under strong background noise, the traditional signal processing method is not ideal. To extract fault characteristic information more clearly, the second-order UCPSR method is applied to the early fault diagnosis of rolling bearings. The continuous potential function itself is a continuous sinusoidal function. The particle transition is smooth and the output is better. Because of its three parameters, the potential structure is more comprehensive and has more abundant characteristics. When the periodic signal, noise and potential function are the best match, the system exhibits better denoise compared to that of other methods. This paper discusses the influence of potential parameters on the motion state of particles between potential wells in combination with the potential parameter variation diagrams discussed. Then, the formula of output signal-to-noise ratio is derived to further study the relationships among potential parameters, and then the ant colony algorithm is used to optimize potential parameters in order to obtain the optimal output signal-to-noise ratio. Finally, an early weak fault diagnosis method for bearings based on the underdamped continuous potential stochastic resonance model is proposed. Through simulation and experimental verification, the underdamped continuous potential stochastic resonance results are compared with those of the time-delayed feedback stochastic resonance method, which proves the validity of the underdamped continuous potential stochastic resonance method.

The fault characteristic of rolling bearings under variable speed condition is a typical non-stationary stochastic signal. It is difficult to extract due to the interference of strong background noise makes the applicability of traditional noise reduction methods less. In this paper, an aperiodic stochastic resonance (ASR) method is proposed to study the fault diagnosis of rolling bearings under variable speed conditions. Based on numerical simulation, the effect of noise intensity and damping coefficient on the ASR of the second-order underdamped system is discussed, and an appropriate damping coefficient is found to reach the optimal ASR. The proposed method enhances the fault characteristic information of bearing fault simulation signal. Corresponding to rising-stationary and the stationary-declining running conditions, the method is verified by both simulated and experimental signals. It provides reference for fault diagnosis under variable speed condition.

As a weak signal processing method that utilizes noise enhanced fault signals, stochastic resonance (SR) is widely used in mechanical fault diagnosis. However, the classic bistable SR has a problem with output saturation, which affects its ability to enhance fault characteristics. Moreover, it is difficult to implement SR when the fault frequency is not clear, which limits its application in engineering practice. To solve these problems, this paper proposed an adaptive periodical stochastic resonance (APSR) method based on the grey wolf optimizer (GWO) algorithm for rolling bearing fault diagnosis. The periodical stochastic resonance (PSR) model can independently adjust the system parameters and effectively avoid output saturation. The GWO algorithm is introduced to optimize the PSR model parameters to achieve adaptive detection of the input signal, and the output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is used as the objective function of the GWO algorithm. Simulated signals verify the validity of the proposed method. Furthermore, this method is applied to bearing fault diagnosis; experimental analysis demonstrates that the proposed method not only obtains a larger output SNR but also requires less time for the optimization process. The diagnosis results show that the proposed method can effectively enhance the weak fault signal and has strong practical values in engineering.

Abstract In engineering applications, the fault signal of rotating elements is easily submerged in the background noise. In order to solve this problem, a rotating body fault diagnosis method based on stochastic resonance with triple-well potential system of genetic algorithm is proposed. In this method, the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) of the Triple-well potential system is used as the fitness function of the genetic algorithm, and several parameters of the system are optimized at the same time, which effectively improves the feature extraction effect of the weak fault of the rotating body. The results of simulation and engineering experiments show that this method has better detection effect than bistable stochastic resonance method, and can effectively detect the fault signal submerged by noise, which has a good engineering application prospect.

Rolling bearings are vital components in rotary machinery, and their operating condition affects the entire mechanical systems. As one of the most important denoising methods for nonlinear systems, local projection (LP) denoising method can be used to reduce noise effectively. Afterwards, high-order polynomials are utilized to estimate the centroid of the neighborhood to better preserve complete geometry of attractors; thus, high-order local projection (HLP) can improve noise reduction performance. This paper proposed an adaptive high-order local projection (AHLP) denoising method in the field of fault diagnosis of rolling bearings to deal with different kinds of vibration signals of faulty rolling bearings. Optimal orders can be selected corresponding to vibration signals of outer ring fault (ORF) and inner ring fault (IRF) rolling bearings, because they have different nonlinear geometric structures. The vibration signal model of faulty rolling bearing is adopted in numerical simulations, and the characteristic frequencies of simulated signals can be well extracted by the proposed method. Furthermore, two kinds of experimental data have been processed in application researches, and fault frequencies of ORF and IRF rolling bearings can be both clearly extracted by the proposed method. The theoretical derivation, numerical simulations, and application research can indicate that the proposed novel approach is promising in the field of fault diagnosis of rolling bearing.

The condition monitoring of rotating machinery is always a focus of intelligent fault diagnosis. In view of the traditional methods’ excessive dependence on prior knowledge to manually extract features, their limited capacity to learn complex nonlinear relations in fault signals and the mixing of the collected signals with environmental noise in the course of the work of rotating machines, this article proposes a novel approach for detecting the bearing fault, which is based on deep learning. To effectively detect, locate, and identify faults in rolling bearings, a stacked noise reduction autoencoder is utilized for abstracting characteristic from the original vibration of signals, and then, the characteristic is provided as input for backpropagation (BP) network classifier. The results output by this classifier represent different fault categories. Experimental results obtained on rolling bearing datasets show that this method can be used to effectively diagnose bearing faults based on original time-domain signals.

Abstract Blind deconvolution (BD) is an effective algorithm for enhancing the impulsive signature of rolling bearings. As a convex optimization problem, the existing BDs have poor optimization performance and cannot effectively enhance the impulsive signature excited by weak faults. Moreover, the existing BDs require manual derivation of the calculation process, which brings great inconvenience to the researcher's personalized design of the maximization criterion. A new BD algorithm based on backward automatic differentiation (BAD) is proposed, which is named BADBD. The calculation process does not require manual derivation so a general solution of BDs based on different maximization criteria is realized. BADBD constructs multiple cascaded filters to filter the raw vibration signal, which makes up for the deficiency of single filter performance. The filter coefficients are determined by Adam algorithm, which improves the optimization performance of the proposed BADBD. BADBD is compared with classic BDs by synthesized and real vibration signals. The results reveal superior capability of BADBD to enhance the impulsive signature and the fault diagnosis performance is significantly better than the classic BDs.
