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.

Proposed Model

Purpose The purpose of this study is to achieve an accurate intelligent fault diagnosis of rolling bearing. Design/methodology/approach To extract deep features of the original vibration signal and improve the generalization ability and robustness of the fault diagnosis model, this paper proposes a fault diagnosis method of rolling bearing based on multiscale convolutional neural network (MCNN) and decision fusion. The original vibration signals are normalized and matrixed to form grayscale image samples. In addition, multiscale samples can be achieved by convoluting these samples with different convolution kernels. Subsequently, MCNN is constructed for fault diagnosis. The results of MCNN are put into a data fusion model to obtain comprehensive fault diagnosis results. Findings The bearing data sets with multiple multivariate time series are used to testify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The proposed model can achieve 99.8% accuracy of fault diagnosis. Based on MCNN and decision fusion, the accuracy can be improved by 0.7%–3.4% compared with other models. Originality/value The proposed model can extract deep general features of vibration signals by MCNN and obtained robust fault diagnosis results based on the decision fusion model. For a long time series of vibration signals with noise, the proposed model can still achieve accurate fault diagnosis.

Band Limited

As the failure-induced component (FIC) in the vibration signals of bearings transmits through housings and shafts, potential phase synchronization is excited among multichannel signals. As phase synchrony analysis (PSA) does not involve the chaotic behavior of signals, it is suitable for characterizing the operating state of bearings considering complicated vibration signals. Therefore, a novel PSA method was developed to identify and track the failure evolution of bearings. First, resonance demodulation and variational mode decomposition (VMD) were combined to extract the mono-component or band-limited FIC from signals. Then, the instantaneous phase of the FIC was analytically solved using Hilbert transformation. The generalized phase difference (GPD) was used to quantify the relationship between FICs extracted from different vibration signals. The entropy of the GPD was regarded as the indicator for quantifying failure evolution. The proposed method was applied to the vibration signals obtained from an accelerated failure experiment and a natural failure experiment. Results showed that phase synchronization in bearing failure evolution was detected and evaluated effectively. Despite the chaotic behavior of the signals, the phase synchronization indicator could identify bearing failure during the initial stage in a robust manner.

Real Practice

Deep learning-based intelligent fault diagnosis methods have attracted increasing attention for their automatic feature extraction ability. However, existing works are usually under the assumption that the training and test dataset share similar distributions, which unfortunately always violates real practice due to the variety of working conditions. In this paper, an end-to-end scheme of joint use of two-direction signals and capsule network (CN) is proposed for fault diagnosis of rolling bearing. With the help of the superior ability of CN in capturing the spatial position information between features, more valuable information can be mined. Aiming to eliminate the influence of different rotational speeds, vertical and horizontal vibration signals are fused as the input to CN, so that invariant features can be extracted automatically from the raw signals. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by experimental data of rolling bearing under different rotational speeds and compared with a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN). The results demonstrate that the proposed scheme is able to recognize the fault types of rolling bearing under scenarios of different rotational speeds.

Railway safety is a matter of importance as a single failure can involve risks associated with economic and human losses. The early fault detection in railway axles and other railway parts represents a broad field of research that is currently under study. In the present work, the problem of the early crack detection in railway axles is addressed through condition-based monitoring, with the evaluation of several condition indicators of vibration signals on time and frequency domains. To achieve this goal, we applied two different approaches: in the first approach, we evaluate only the vibrations signals captured by accelerometers placed along the longitudinal direction and, in the second approach, a data fusion technique at the condition indicator level was conducted, evaluating six accelerometers by merging the indicator conditions according to the sensor placement. In both cases, a total of 54 condition indicators per vibration signal was calculated and selecting the best features by applying the Mean Decrease Accuracy method of Random Forest. Finally, we test the best indicators with a K-Nearest Neighbor classifier. For the data collection, a real bogie test bench has been used to simulate crack faults on the railway axles, and vibration signals from both the left and right sides of the axle were measured. The results not only show the performance of condition indicators in different domains, but also show that the fusion of condition indicators works well together to detect a crack fault in railway axles.

The vibration signals of rolling element bearings are non-linear and non-stationary and the corresponding fault features are difficult to be extracted. EEMD (Ensemble empirical mode decomposition) is effective to detect bearing faults. In the present investigation, MEEMD (Modified EEMD) is presented to diagnose the outer and inner race faults of bearings. The original vibration signals are analyzed using IMFs (intrinsic mode functions) extracted by MEEMD decomposition and Hilbert spectrum in the proposed method. The numerical and experimental results of the comparison between MEEMD and EEMD indicate that the proposed method is more effective to extract the fault features of outer and inner race of bearings than EEMD.

For the situation that it is difficult to diagnose rolling bearings fault effectively for small samples, so it proposes a feature extraction method of rolling bearing based on local mean decomposition (LMD) energy feature. Due to the frequency domain distribution of vibration signals will change when different faults occur in rolling bearings, so it can use LMD energy feature method to extract the fault features of rolling bearings. The instances analysis and extracted results show that the LMD energy feature can extract the vibration signal fault feature of rolling bearings effectively.

Critical Components

The rolling bearings are one of the most critical components in rotary machinery. To prevent unexpected bearing failure, it is crucial to develop the effective fault detection and diagnosis techniques to realize equipment’s near-zero downtime and maximum productivity. In this paper, a new fault detection and diagnosis method based on Wigner-Ville spectrum entropy (WVSE) is proposed. First, the local mean decomposition (LMD) and the Wigner-Ville distribution (WVD) are combined to develop a new feature extraction approach to extract the fault features in time-frequency domain of the bearing vibration signals. Second, the concept of the Shannon entropy is integrated into the WVD to define the Wigner-Ville spectrum entropy to quantify the energy variation in time-frequency distribution under different work conditions. The research results from the bearing vibration signals demonstrate that the proposed method based on WVSE can identify different fault patterns more accurately and effectively comparing with other methods based on singular spectrum entropy (SSE) or power spectrum entropy (PSE).
