Due to the feature and the forms of motion of the gears, the vibration signal of the gear is mainly the frequency modulation, amplitude modulation, or hybrid modulation signal corresponding to the gear-mesh frequency and its double frequency signal. When faults arise on the gears, the number and shape of the modulation sideband will be changed. The structures and forms of the FM composition differ according to the type of faults. According to the above mentioned characteristic, this essay raises a method to disassemble the gear vibrate signal, points out the formulas to build up characteristic vector, on that basis, the essay raised a gear fault diagnosis method based on EMD and Hidden Markov Model (HMM), this method can identify the working condition of the normal gears, snaggletooth gears, and pitting gears.

The gear fault signal has some defects such as nonstationary nonlinearity. In order to increase the operating life of the gear, the gear operation is monitored. A gear fault diagnosis method based on variational mode decomposition (VMD) sample entropy and discrete Hopfield neural network (DHNN) is proposed. Firstly, the optimal VMD decomposition number is selected by the instantaneous frequency mean value. Then, the sample entropy value of each intrinsic mode function (IMF) is extracted to form the gear feature vectors. The gear feature vectors are coded and used as the memory prototype and memory starting point of DHNN, respectively. Finally, the coding vector is input into DHNN to realize fault pattern recognition. The newly defined coding rules have a significant impact on the accuracy of gear fault diagnosis. Driven by self-associative memory, the coding of gear fault is accurately classified by DHNN. The superiority of the VMD-DHNN method in gear fault diagnosis is verified by comparing with an advanced signal processing algorithm. The results show that the accuracy based on VMD sample entropy and DHNN is 91.67% of the gear fault diagnosis method. The experimental results show that the VMD method is better than the complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) and empirical mode decomposition (EMD), and the effect of it in the diagnosis of gear fault diagnosis is emphasized.

A gear fault diagnosis method based on kurtosis criterion variational mode decomposition (VMD) and self-organizing map (SOM) neural network is proposed. Firstly, the VMD algorithm is used to decompose the gear vibration signal, and the instantaneous frequency mean is calculated as the evaluation index, and the characteristic curve is drawn to screen out the most relevant intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) of the original vibration signal. Then, the number of VMD decompositions is determined, and the kurtosis value of IMFs are extracted to form the feature vectors. Then, the kurtosis value feature vectors of IMFs are normalized to form the kurtosis value normalized vectors. Finally, the normalized vectors of kurtosis value are input into SOM neural network to realize gear fault diagnosis. When the number of training times of SOM neural network is 100, the gear fault category is accurately classified by SOM neural network. The results show that when the training times of SOM neural network is 100 times, the gear fault diagnosis method, based on the kurtosis criterion VMD and SOM neural network is 100%, which indicates that the new method has a good effect on gear fault diagnosis.
