This study presents a two-step fault diagnosis scheme combined with statistical classification and random forests-based classification for rolling element bearings. Considering the inequality of features sensitivity in different diagnosis steps, the proposed method utilizes permutation entropy and variational mode decomposition to depict vibration signals under single scale and multiscale. In the first step, the permutation entropy features on the single scale of original signals are extracted and the statistical classification model based on Chebyshev’s inequality is constructed to detect the faults with a preliminary acquaintance of the bearing condition. In the second step, vibration signals with fault conditions are firstly decomposed into a collection of intrinsic mode functions by using variational mode decomposition and then multiscale permutation entropy features derived from each mono-component are extracted to identify the specific fault types. In order to improve the classification ability of the characteristic data, the out-of-bag estimation of random forests is firstly employed to reelect and refine the original multiscale permutation entropy features. Then the refined features are considered as the input data to train the random forests-based classification model. Finally, the condition data of bearings with different fault conditions are employed to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. The results indicate that the proposed method can effectively identify the working conditions and fault types of rolling element bearings.

Rotating machinery contains numerous rolling bearings, which are critical for ensuring the normal working position and accurate operation of individual shaft systems. However, damage to rolling bearings can change their damping, stiffness, and elastic force. As a result, fault signals appear nonlinear and nonstationary. Vibration signals thus become difficult to diagnose clearly, especially in the incipient fault stage. To solve this problem, this article proposes an intelligent approach based on variational mode decomposition and the self-organizing feature map for rolling bearing fault diagnosis. First, the intrinsic mode function components of rolling bearing vibration signals are effectively separated by variational mode decomposition. Then, permutation entropy is used to extract feature vectors, which are used as training and testing data for the self-organizing feature map network. Finally, the various fault types of states are clustered on an intuitive visualization map. Clustering results of the experimental signal and the measured signal prove that the proposed method can successfully extract and cluster the rolling bearing faults in engineering applications. The proposed method improves the fault recognition rate to some extent over traditional methods.

Mode Decomposition

Variational mode decomposition is a new signal decomposition method, which can process non-linear and non-stationary signals. It can overcome the problems of mode mixing and compensate for the shortcomings in empirical mode decomposition. Permutation entropy is a method which can detect the randomness and kinetic mutation behavior of a time series. It can be considered for use in fault diagnosis. The complexity of wind power generation systems means that the randomness and kinetic mutation behavior of their vibration signals are displayed at different scales. Multi-scale permutation entropy analysis is therefore needed for such vibration signals. This research investigated a method based on variational mode decomposition and permutation entropy for the fault diagnosis of a wind turbine roller bearing. Variational mode decomposition was adopted to decompose the bearing vibration signal into its constituent components. The components containing key fault information were selected for the extraction of their permutation entropy. This entropy was used as a bearing fault characteristic value. The nearest neighbor algorithm was employed as a classifier to identify faults in a roller bearing. The experimental data showed that the proposed method can be applied to wind turbine roller bearing fault diagnosis.

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.

Multistage reducer vibration signals have complicated spectral structures owing to the amplitude and frequency modulations of gear damage-induced vibrations and the multiplicative amplitude modulation effect caused by time-varying vibration transfer paths (in the case of local gear damage) when the multistage reducer contains both planetary and spur gears. Moreover, the difference between the vibration energies of these gears increases the difficulty of fault feature extraction when multiple failures occur in the reducer. As the meshing frequency of each gear group often varies significantly, variational mode decomposition can be performed to decompose the vibration signal according to frequency, enabling separation of the vibration signals of the spur and planetary gears. The common fault features of these gears can be extracted from the spectrum of the amplitude demodulation envelope. To verify the effectiveness of this method, we first analyzed a simulation signal, and then utilized the experimental signals from a laboratory multistage reducer for verification. In the multistage reducer simulation, we considered the amplitude and frequency modulation of the gear damage and transfer paths. In the experimental verification, we processed local faults (broken teeth) and uniform faults (uniform wear) on the sun gear and the spur gear of the planetary gear separately.

Rolling bearings are the key components of rotating machinery. However, the incipient fault characteristics of a rolling bearing vibration signal are weak and difficult to extract. To solve this problem, this paper presents a novel rolling bearing vibration signal fault feature extraction and fault pattern recognition method based on variational mode decomposition (VMD), permutation entropy (PE) and support vector machines (SVM). In the proposed method, the bearing vibration signal is decomposed by VMD, and the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) are obtained in different scales. Then, the PE values of each IMF are calculated to uncover the multi-scale intrinsic characteristics of the vibration signal. Finally, PE values of IMFs are fed into SVM to automatically accomplish the bearing condition identifications. The proposed method is evaluated by rolling bearing vibration signals. The results indicate that the proposed method is superior and can diagnose rolling bearing faults accurately.

In recent years, a new method of fault diagnosis, named variational mode decomposition (VMD), has been widely used in industrial production, but the decomposition accuracy of VMD is determined by two parameters, which are respectively the decomposition layer number k and the penalty factor α, if the parameters are not properly selected, there will be over-decomposition or under-decomposition. In order to find an approach to determine the parameters adaptively, a method to optimize VMD by using the immune fruit fly optimization algorithm (IFOA) is proposed in this paper. In this method, permutation entropy is used as the fitness function, firstly, the immune fruit fly optimization algorithm is used to search the combined parameters of k and α in VMD, searching for the best combination parameters of k and α by iteration, and then uses the combined parameters to perform VMD, finally, the center frequency is determined through frequency spectrum analysis. The method mentioned is applied to the fault extraction of a simulated signal and a measured signal of a wind turbine gearbox, and the fault frequency is successfully extracted. Using ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and singular spectrum decomposition (SSD) to compare with the proposed method, which validated feasibility of the proposed method.
