This article presents the application of phase space topology and time-domain statistical features for rolling element bearing diagnostics in rotating machines under variable operating conditions. The results indicate very promising performance in identifying various faults with virtually perfect accuracy, recall, and precision. A comparison with the envelope analysis method is performed to show the superior performance of the proposed approach. In addition, the results demonstrate an outstanding prediction rate for the fault diameter of bearing defects.

This paper presents a MATLAB-based tutorial to conduct fault diagnosis of a rolling element bearing. While there have been so many new developments in this field, no studies have addressed the tutorial aspects in this field to help the engineers learn the concept and implement by their own effort. The three most common techniques—the autoregressive model, spectral kurtosis, and envelope analysis—are selected to demonstrate the bearing diagnosis process. Simulation signal is introduced to help understand the characteristics of fault signal and carry out the process toward the fault identification. The techniques are then applied to the two real datasets to demonstrate the practical applications, one made by the authors and the other by the Case Western Reserve University, which is known as a standard reference in testing the diagnostic algorithms.

Different signal processing methods are applied to experimental data obtained from a rolling element bearing rig in order to perform damage detection. Among these methods the Teager-Kaiser energy operator is also proposed as a more novel approach. This energy operator is an amplitude-frequency demodulation method used in this paper as an alternative to the Hilbert Transform in order to perform envelope analysis on the datasets analysed.

Nonlinear characteristics are ubiquitous in the vibration signals produced by rolling element bearings. Fractal dimensions are effective tools to illustrate nonlinearity. This paper proposes a new approach based on Multiscale General Fractal Dimensions (MGFDs) to realize fault diagnosis of rolling element bearings, which are robust to the effects of variation in operating conditions. The vibration signals of bearing are analyzed to extract the general fractal dimensions in multiscales, which are in turn utilized to construct a feature space to identify fault pattern. Finally, bearing faults are revealed by pattern recognition. Case studies are carried out to evaluate the validity and accuracy of the approach. It is verified that this approach is effective for fault diagnosis of rolling element bearings under various operating conditions via experiment and data analysis.
