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.

One of the most important types of signal found in the area of machine condition monitoring/prognostic health monitoring (MCM/PHM) is the vibration signal, a type of waveform. Many time-frequency domain techniques have been proposed to interpret such signals, including wavelet packet decomposition (WPD). Previous work has shown how to extend the WPD algorithm to operate on streaming signals, but the number of output variables becomes exponential in the number of levels of decomposition, hindering data mining in limited-memory environments. Feature selection techniques, well understood in other areas of data mining, can be used to greatly reduce the number of output variables and speed up the machine learning algorithms. This paper presents a case study comparing two versions of WPD both with and without feature selection, demonstrating that removing most of the features produced by the WPD does not impair its performance within the context of MCM/PHM.

Linear rolling guide is increasingly being used as the transmission system in computer numerical control machine tools due to its high stiffness, low friction, good ability of precision retaining, and so on. The lubrication of rolling linear guide affects significantly its performance and hence monitoring the lubrication condition during its operation is of great importance. In this article, the relation between different lubrication conditions of linear rolling guide and their corresponding vibration signals is studied. Three lubrication conditions labeled as “Poor,”“Medium,” and “Good” are simulated to represent the actual working conditions. A data acquisition system is set up to acquire the vibration signals corresponding to different conditions. The wavelet packet decomposition is employed to perform time–frequency analysis of the raw signal, after which the energy distribution of the decomposed signals is extracted as the feature. Two linear rolling guides manufactured by different companies are used in the experiments. The results demonstrate that the relation between the energy distribution extracted from vibration signals and lubrication conditions follows a certain rule. A typical feedforward backpropagation neural network is used as the classifier to verify the effectiveness of energy distribution. The average classification accuracy of the network with energy distribution as input is more than 95%. The results show that the lubrication conditions can be characterized by “energy” hidden in the vibration signals and the energy distribution is an appropriate feature that can be used for fault diagnosis of linear rolling guide.

AbstractIn the process of Wavelet Analysis, only the low-frequency signals are re-decomposed, and the high-frequency signals are no longer decomposed, resulting in a decrease in frequency resolution with increasing frequency. Therefore, in this paper, firstly, Wavelet Packet Decomposition is used for feature extraction of vibration signals, which makes up for the shortcomings of Wavelet Analysis in extracting fault features of nonlinear vibration signals, and different energy values in different frequency bands are obtained by Wavelet Packet Decomposition. The features are visualized by the K-Means clustering method, and the results show that the extracted energy features can accurately distinguish the different states of the bearing. Then a fault diagnosis model based on BP Neural Network optimized by Beetle Algorithm is proposed to identify the bearing faults. Compared with the Particle Swarm Algorithm, Beetle Algorithm can quickly find the error extreme value, which greatly reduces the training time of the model. At last, two experiments are conducted, which show that the accuracy of the model can reach more than 95%, and the model has a certain anti-interference ability.

This paper presents a new on-line technique for denoising impulsive vibration signals in noisy environments using Wavelet Packets. The proposed algorithm is based on localizing the frequency subbands of the resonances embedded in impulsive vibration signals. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated in denoising real vibration signals measured from faulty bearings. The results compared to the theoretical values and those obtained by the HFD algorithm show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm while the computational cost reduces to half.

Accurate precipitation prediction can help plan for different water resources management demands and provide an extension of lead-time for the tactical and strategic planning of courses of action. This paper examines the applicability of several forecasting models based on wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) in annual rainfall forecasting, and a novel hybrid precipitation prediction framework (WPD-ELM) is proposed coupling extreme learning machine (ELM) and WPD. The works of this paper can be described as follows: (a) WPD is used to decompose the original precipitation data into several sub-layers; (b) ELM model, autoregressive integrated moving average model (ARIMA), and back-propagation neural network (BPNN) are employed to realize the forecasting computation for the decomposed series; (c) the results are integrated to attain the final prediction. Four evaluation indexes (RMSE, MAE, R, and NSEC) are adopted to assess the performance of the models. The results indicate that the WPD-ELM model outperforms other models used in this paper and WPD can significantly enhance the performance of forecasting models. In conclusion, WPD-ELM can be a promising alternative for annual precipitation forecasting and WPD is an effective data pre-processing technique in producing convincing forecasting models.
