Fault Features

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.

Diagnosis Approach

The key to fault diagnosis of rotating machinery is to extract fault features effectively and select the appropriate classification algorithm. As a common signal decomposition method, the effect of wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) largely depends on the applicability of the wavelet basis function (WBF). In this paper, a novel fault diagnosis approach for rotating machinery based on feature importance ranking and selection is proposed. Firstly, a two-step principle is proposed to select the most suitable WBF for the vibration signal, based on which an optimized WPD (OWPD) method is proposed to decompose the vibration signal and extract the fault information in the frequency domain. Secondly, FE is utilized to extract fault features of the decomposed subsignals of OWPD. Thirdly, the categorical boosting (CatBoost) algorithm is introduced to rank the fault features by a certain strategy, and the optimal feature set is further utilized to identify and diagnose the fault types. A hybrid dataset of bearing and rotor faults and an actual dataset of the one-stage reduction gearbox are utilized for experimental verification. Experimental results indicate that the proposed approach can achieve higher fault diagnosis accuracy using fewer features under complex working conditions.

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.

Hilbert Huang Transform

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.

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.

For the situation that it is difficult to diagnose rolling bearings fault effectively for small samples, so it proposes a feature extraction method of rolling bearing based on local mean decomposition (LMD) energy feature. Due to the frequency domain distribution of vibration signals will change when different faults occur in rolling bearings, so it can use LMD energy feature method to extract the fault features of rolling bearings. The instances analysis and extracted results show that the LMD energy feature can extract the vibration signal fault feature of rolling bearings effectively.

Maintenance is critical to avoid catastrophic failures in rotating machinery, and the detection of cracks plays a critical role because they can originate failures with costly processes of reparation, especially in shafts. Vibration signals are widely used in machine monitoring and fault diagnostics. The most critical issue in machine monitoring is the suitable selection of the vibration parameters that represent the condition of the machine. Discrete Wavelet Transform, and one of its recursive forms, called Wavelet Packet Transform, provide a high potential for pattern extraction. Several factors must be selected and taken into account in the Wavelet Transform application such as the level of decomposition, the suitable mother wavelet, and the level basis or features. In this work, the dynamic response of a shaft with different levels of crack is studied. The evolution of energy of the vibration signals obtained from the rotating shaft and the frequencies where maximum increments of energy appear with the crack are analyzed. The results allow the conclusion that changes in energies computed by means of the Wavelet Packet Transform can be successfully used for crack detection.

The rotor startup vibration signals carry abundant dynamic information of the machinery and are very useful for feature extraction and potential early fault diagnosis. Due to the non-stationary and transient nature of the signals in speed up process, the traditional diagnostic methods that have been put forward based on stationary assumption are no longer satisfactory. This paper proposes a new Speed Transform based method for the fault diagnosis of rotating machinery in variable speed. Speed Transform decomposes a complicated signal over a basis of elementary oscillatory functions, whose frequencies follow the speed variation. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by both simulated signal and startup vibration signal collected from a rotor system with early rub-impact fault. Analyzed results showed that the proposed method could effectively extract fault features of the rotor under varying speed condition.

It is difficult to obtain the obvious fault features of wind turbine, because the vibration signal of them are non-linear and non-stationary. To solve the problem, a multifractal analysis based on wavelet is presented in this research. The real signals of 1.5 MW wind turbine are studied by multifractal theory. The incipient fault features are extracted from the original signal. Using the Wavelet Transform Modulo Maxima Method, the multifractal was obtained. The results show that fault features of high rotational frequency of wind turbine are different from low rotational frequency, and the complexity of the vibration signals increases with the rotational frequency. These demonstrate the multifractal analysis is effective to extract the fault features of wind turbine generator.
