This paper presents a novel multichannel fusion approach based on coupled hidden Markov models (CHMMs) for rolling element bearing fault diagnosis. Different from a hidden Markov model (HMM), a CHMM contains multiple state sequences and observation sequences, and hence has powerful potential for multichannel fusion. In this study, a two-chain CHMM is employed to integrate the two-channel vibration signals collected from bearings, i.e. the horizontal and vertical vibration signals. Efficient probabilistic inference and parameter estimation algorithms are developed for the model. An experiment was carried out to validate the proposed approach. Normalized wavelet packet energy and wavelet packet energy entropy are extracted as features for classification respectively. Then, the results of the proposed approach are compared with those of the currently used approach based on HMMs and one-channel signals. The results show that the proposed approach is feasible and effective to improve the classification rate.

The diagnosis of compound-fault is always a difficult point, and there is not an effective method in equipment diagnosis field, then a new method of compound-fault diagnosis was presented. The vibration signals at start-up in the gearbox are non-stationary signals, and traditional ways of diagnosis have low precision. Order tracking and wavelet packet and rough sets theory are introduced in the compound-fault diagnosis of bearing. First, the vibration signals at start-up were resampled using computer order tracking arithmetic and equal angle distributed vibration signals were obtained, and wavelet packet has been used for equal angle distributed vibration signals decomposition and reconstruction. Then, energy distribution of every frequency band can be calculated according to normalization process. A new feature vector can be obtained, then clear and concise decision rules can be obtained by rough sets theory. Finally, the result of compound-fault example proves that the proposed method has high validity and more amplitude appliance foreground.

The lateral damper is one of the key components of rolling stock. Establishing the relationship between the degraded signal and the health state of the lateral damper is important in order to perform timely performance detection and fault diagnosis. This paper proposes a wavelet packet cross-correlation method (WPCC) that is based on wavelet packet transform (WPT) and cross-correlation analysis (CCA). First, the vibration signals under different running speeds, different running conditions, and different track excitations were collected and analyzed. Second, the wavelet packet transform was used to select larger energy band signals for reconstruction. Subsequently, the WPCC coefficient was calculated between the reference signal and the signal to be measured. The proposed method was applied to analysis of vibration signals of the lateral damper performance degradation. The lateral damper health condition was divided into four intervals, and the average accuracy calculated under different running speeds, different running conditions, and different track excitation was 95%.

Although many wavelet de-noising methods have been studied and proposed, the parameters of them are obtained by experience mostly, which makes the de-noising effect instable. To solve the issues, the solutions, such as the selection of wavelet function and threshold function, the calculation of decomposition levels, the optimal wavelet packet basis and the thresholds obtained based on QPSO, have been studied in this paper. Every parameter is obtained by calculation. This method is applied to the de-noising experiment of sine and vibration signals. Through the experimental verification, the effect of this de-noising method is obvious.

AbstractEarly identification of faults in rolling element bearings is a challenging task; especially extracting transient characteristics from a noisy signal and identifying bearings fault become critical steps. In this paper, a novel method for real time fault detection in rolling element bearings is proposed to deal with non-stationary fault signals from frequency and energy perspective. Second-order blind identification (SOBI) and wavelet packet decomposition are organically integrated to diagnose the early bearing faults, the fault vibration signals are processed by SOBI algorithm, and feature information is extracted; meanwhile, fault vibration signals are decomposed by the wavelet packet, the energy of terminal nodes(at the bottom layer of wavelet packet decomposition) are analyzed because the energy of terminal nodes has different sensitive to different component faults. Therefore, the bearing faults can be diagnosed by organic combination of fault characteristic frequency analysis and energy of the terminal nodes, and the effectiveness, feasibility and robustness of the proposed method have been verified by experimental data.

Signal processing is an integral part in signal-based fault diagnosis of rotary machinery. Signal processing converts the raw data into useful features to make the diagnostic operations. These features should be independent from the normal working conditions of the machine and the external noise. The extracted features should be sensitive only to faults in the machine. Therefore, applying more efficient processing techniques in order to achieve more useful features that bring faster and more accurate fault detection procedure has attracted the attention of researchers. This paper attempts to improve Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT) using wavelet packet transform (WPT) as a preprocessor instead of ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) to decompose the signal into narrow frequency bands and extract instantaneous frequency and compares the efficiency of the proposed method named “wavelet packet-based Hilbert transform (WPHT)” with the HHT in the extraction of broken rotor bar frequency components from vibration signals. These methods are tested on vibration signals of an electro-pump experimental setup. Moreover, this project applies wavelet packet de-noising to remove the noise of vibration signal before applying both methods mentioned and thereby achieves more useful features from vibration signals for the next stages of diagnosis procedure. The comparison of Hilbert transform amplitude spectrum and the values and numbers of detected instantaneous frequencies using HHT and WPHT techniques indicates the superiority of the WPHT technique to detect fault-related frequencies as an improved form of HHT.

There has been much research into monitoring techniques for mechanical systems to ensure stable production levels in modern industries. This is particularly true for the diagnostic monitoring of rotary machinery, because faults in this type of equipment appear frequently and quickly cause severe problems. Such diagnostic methods are often based on the analysis of vibration signals because they are directly related to physical faults. Even though the magnitude of vibration signals depends on the measurement position, the effect of measurement position is generally not considered. This paper describes an investigation of the effect of the measurement position on the fault features in vibration signals. The signals for normal and broken bevel gears were measured at the base, gearbox, and bevel gear, simultaneously, of a machine fault simulator (MFS). These vibration signals were compared to each other and used to estimate the classification efficiency of a diagnostic method using wavelet packet transform. From this experiment, the fault features are more prominently in the vibration signal from the measurement position of the bevel gear than from the base and gearbox. The results of this analysis will assist in selecting the appropriate measurement position in real industrial applications and precision diagnostics.

A new method about the multi-fault condition monitoring of slurry pump based on principal component analysis (PCA) and sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) is proposed. The method identifies the condition of the slurry pump by analyzing the vibration signal. The experimental model is established using the normal impeller and the faulty impellers where the collected vibration signals were preprocessed using wavelet packet transform (WPT). The characteristic parameters of the vibration signals are extracted by time domain signal analysis and the dimension of data was reduced by PCA. The principal components with the largest contribution rate are chosen as the inputted signal to SPRT to assess the proposed algorithm. The new methodology is reasonable and practical for the multi-fault diagnosis of slurry pump.
