In this paper, a new method for time-varying machine condition monitoring is proposed. By Choi-Williams distribution, the interference terms produced by the bilinear time-frequency transform are reduced and the fault signal is processed by the correlation analysis of the Choi-Williams distribution. For machine fault diagnosis, both the feature extractor and classifier are combined to make a decision. It is particularly suited to those who are not experts in the field. Satisfactory results have been obtained from a real example and the effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated.
