This paper presents an improved gearbox fault diagnosis approach by integrating complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD) with permutation entropy (PE). The presented approach identifies faults appearing in a gearbox system based on PE values calculated from selected intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) of vibration signals decomposed by CEEMD. Specifically, CEEMD is first used to decompose vibration signals characterizing various defect severities into a series of IMFs. Then, filtered vibration signals are obtained from appropriate selection of IMFs, and correlation coefficients between the filtered signal and each IMF are used as the basis for useful IMFs selection. Subsequently, PE values of those selected IMFs are utilized as input features to a support vector machine (SVM) classifier for characterizing the defect severity of a gearbox. Case study conducted on a gearbox system indicates the effectiveness of the proposed approach for identifying the gearbox faults.

In order to improve the effectiveness for identifying rolling bearing faults at an early stage, the present paper proposed a method that combined the so-called complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD) method with a correlation theory for fault diagnosis of rolling element bearing. The cross-correlation coefficient between the original signal and each intrinsic mode function (IMF) was calculated in order to reduce noise and select an effective IMF. Using the present method, a rolling bearing fault experiment with vibration signals measured by acceleration sensors was carried out, and bearing inner race and outer race defect at a varying rotating speed with different degrees of defect were analyzed. And the proposed method was compared with several algorithms of empirical mode decomposition (EMD) to verify its effectiveness. Experimental results showed that the proposed method was available for detecting the bearing faults and able to detect the fault at an early stage. It has higher computational efficiency and is capable of overcoming modal mixing and aliasing. Therefore, the proposed method is more suitable for rolling bearing diagnosis.

Ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) represents a valuable aid in empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and has been widely used in fault diagnosis of rolling element bearings. However, the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) generated by EEMD often contain residual noise. In addition, adding different white Gaussian noise to the signal to be analyzed probably produces a different number of IMFs, and different number of IMFs makes difficult the averaging. To alleviate these two drawbacks, complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) was previously presented. Utilizing the advantages of CEEMDAN in extracting weak characteristics from noisy signals, a new fault diagnosis method of rolling element bearings based on CEEMDAN is proposed. With this method, a particular noise is added at each stage and after each IMF extraction, a unique residue is computed. In this way, this method solves the problem of the final averaging and obtains IMFs with less noise. A simulated signal is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, and the decomposition results show that the method obtains more accurate IMFs than the EEMD. To further demonstrate the proposed method, it is applied to fault diagnosis of locomotive rolling element bearings. The diagnosis results prove that the method based on CEEMDAN may reveal the fault characteristic information of rolling element bearings better.

A new method on fault diagnosis for gear based on ensemble empirical mode decomposition and slice bi-spectrum is proposed. Firstly, fault signal was decomposed into a series of intrinsic mode function components of different frequency bands by EEMD, and then calculated the envelope signal of IMF component by Hilbert demodulation method. Finally, analyzed the envelope signal by slice bi-spectrum and extracted the fault characteristic frequency. The anti-alias decomposition capacity of EEMD and capabilities of noise suppression and non-quadratic phase coupling harmonic components elimination of slice bi-spectrum were verified by analyzing the simulation signal. The analysis results of gear pitting failure signal and gear wear fault signal showed that this method could judge gear fault type accurately and has a certainly degree reliability.
