Abstract Reciprocating compressor is one of the key machines in chemical and petrochemical industries. The most common failure mode in the compressor is valve leakage. Generally, leakage fault is considered to be of little harm to machines. However, it was found that the serious leakage of the valve would cause abnormal bending vibration of the piston rod and accelerate the formation of fatigue cracks. Most researchers utilized the signal of cylinder dynamic pressure, valve temperature or acoustic emission to diagnose valve leakage fault. However, each of these methods has disadvantages. In this paper, a new method is proposed to diagnose valve leakage fault using vibration signal. The main idea is that the severity of valve leakage can be assessed by analyzing energy of the main frequency band during compression process and the delay of discharge valve opening. Firstly, the vibration signal in the time domain is segmented into several angle-domain signals according to the keyphasor signal. Each of the angle-domain signals corresponds to one cylinder working cycle. Then, the time-frequency analysis is conducted with the Gaussian window, and the main energy frequency band and the compression process are determined. Filtering the signal with a bandpass filter based on the main energy frequency band, and the root-mean-square (RMS) of the filtered signal during compression process is calculated in a crank revolution. Besides, the angle of discharge valve opening is detected. Based on the two indicators, the severity of valve leakage can be estimated. To verify the effectiveness of the method, keyphasor of the flywheel, cylinder dynamic pressure and vibration acceleration of valve are acquired on a double-acting oil-free air compressor under different degrees of suction valve leakage. The experimental results and analysis show that the proposed method can well identify the valve leakage fault, even in the case of weak leakage, and is very effective in quantifying the severity of leakage.

Abstract Aiming at the problem of strong impact, short response period and wide resonance frequency bandwidth of transient vibration signals, a transient feature extraction method based on adaptive Tunable Q-factor Wavelet Transform (TQWT) was proposed. Firstly, the characteristic frequency band of the vibration signal was selected according to the time-frequency distribution. Based on the characteristic frequency band, the sub-band average energy weighted wavelet Shannon entropy was used to optimize the number of decomposition layers, quality factor and redundancy of TQWT, so as to achieve the adaptive optimal matching of the impact characteristic components in the vibration signal. Then, according to the characteristics of the transient impact of the telemetry vibration signal, the TQWT decomposition coefficients were sparse reconstructed to obtain more sparse impact characteristics, and the weighted power spectrum kurtosis was used as the impact characteristic index to select the optimal sub-band, Finally, the inverse transform of TQWT was used to reconstruct the optimal sub-band to enhance its weak impact features. The simulation and measured signal processing results verify the effectiveness of the algorithm.

Abstract The wavelet transform has the ability to extract global information as well as localized small features from a given signal. This property makes it very well suited to the study of time-varying vibration signals generated by the operation of faulty gears. For a healthy and properly designed gear set, the vibration signal consists mainly of the gear meshing frequency component and its harmonics. Developing fatigue cracks introduce short-time transients that modulate both the amplitude and phase of the otherwise steady vibration signal. These transients are often difficult to detect with the traditional time-only or frequency-only techniques. Being a joint time-frequency distribution, the Wavelet transform allows one to look at the evolution in time of a signal’s frequency content. It thus appears to be the ideal tool to detect the localized transients. In this study, we use both the amplitude and phase maps of the wavelet transform to assess the condition of an instrumented gear test rig. With the proposed technique, simulated cracks as small as 20% of the tooth width at the root are easily detectable.

This paper discusses the method used to identify the process involving fatigue cracking of samples on the basis of selected vibration signal characteristics. Acceleration of vibrations has been chosen as a diagnostic signal in the analysis of sample cross section. Signal characteristics in form of change in vibration amplitudes and corresponding changes in FFT spectrum have been indicated for the acceleration. The tests were performed on a designed setup, where destruction process was caused by the force of inertia of the sample. Based on the conducted tests, it was found that the demonstrated sample structure change identification method may be applied to identify the technical condition of the structure in the aspect of loss of its continuity and its properties (e.g.: mechanical and fatigue cracks). The vibration analysis results have been verified by penetration and visual methods, using a scanning electron microscope.

Condition monitoring is used to track the unavoidable phases of rolling element bearings in an induction motor (IM) to ensure reliable operation in domestic and industrial machinery. The convolutional neural network (CNN) has been used as an effective tool to recognize and classify multiple rolling bearing faults in recent times. Due to the nonlinear and nonstationary nature of vibration signals, it is quite difficult to achieve high classification accuracy when directly using the original signal as the input of a convolution neural network. To evaluate the fault characteristics, ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) is implemented to decompose the signal into multiple intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) in this work. Then, based on the kurtosis value, insignificant IMFs are filtered out and the original signal is reconstructed with the rest of the IMFs so that the reconstructed signal contains the fault characteristics. After that, the 1-D reconstructed vibration signal is converted into a 2-D image using a continuous wavelet transform with information from the damage frequency band. This also transfers the signal into a time-frequency domain and reduces the nonstationary effects of the vibration signal. Finally, the generated images of various fault conditions, which possess a discriminative pattern relative to the types of faults, are used to train an appropriate CNN model. Additionally, with the reconstructed signal, two different methods are used to create an image to compare with our proposed image creation approach. The vibration signal is collected from a self-designed testbed containing multiple bearings of different fault conditions. Two other conventional CNN architectures are compared with our proposed model. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that the image generated with fault signatures not only accurately classifies multiple faults with CNN but can also be considered as a reliable and stable method for the diagnosis of fault bearings.

AbstractIn recent years, considerable attention has been paid in time–frequency analysis (TFA) methods, which is an effective technology in processing the vibration signal of rotating machinery. However, TFA techniques are not sufficient to handle signals having a strong non-stationary characteristic. To overcome this drawback, taking short-time Fourier transform as a link, a TFA methods that using the generalized Warblet transform (GWT) in combination with the second order synchroextracting transform (SSET) is proposed in this study. Firstly, based on the GWT and SSET theories, this paper proposes a method combining the two TFA methods to improve the TFA concentration, named GWT–SSET. Secondly, the method is verified numerically with single-component and multi-component signals, respectively. Quantized indicators, Rényi entropy and mean relative error (MRE) are used to analyze the concentration of TFA and accuracy of instantly frequency (IF) estimation, respectively. Finally, the proposed method is applied to analyze nonstationary signals in variable speed. The numerical and experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of the GWT–SSET method.

The traditional empirical mode decomposition method cannot accurately extract the time-frequency characteristic parameters contained in the noisy seismic monitoring signals. In this paper, the time-frequency analysis model of CEEMD-MPE-HT is established by introducing the multiscale permutation entropy (MPE), combining with the optimized empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD) and Hilbert transform (HT). The accuracy of the model is verified by the simulation signal mixed with noise. Based on the project of Loushan two-to-four in situ expansion tunnel, a CEEMD-MPE-HT model is used to extract and analyze the time-frequency characteristic parameters of blasting seismic signals. The results show that the energy of the seismic wave signal is mainly concentrated in the frequency band above 100 Hz, while the natural vibration frequency of the adjacent existing tunnel is far less than this frequency band, and the excavation blasting of the tunnel will not cause the resonance of the adjacent existing tunnel.

This paper performed a radial compression fatigue test on glass fiber winding composite tubes, collected acoustic emission signals at different fatigue damages stages, used time frequency analysis techniques for modern wavelet transform, and analyzed the wave form and frequency characteristics of fatigue damaged acoustic emission signals. Three main frequency bands of acoustic emission signal had been identified: 80-160 kHz (low frequency band), 160-300 kHz (middle frequency band), and over 300kHz (high frequency band), corresponding to the three basic damage modes: the fragmentation of matrix resin, the layered damage of fiber and matrix, and the fracture of cellosilk respectively. The usage of wavelet transform enabled the separation of fatigue damaged acoustic emission signals from interference wave, and the access to characteristics of high signal-noise-ratio fatigue damage.
