Rolling bearing plays an important role in the overall operation of the mechanical system; therefore, it is necessary to monitor and diagnose the bearings. Kurtosis is an important index to measure impulses. Fast Kurtogram method can be applied to the fault diagnosis of rolling bearings by extracting maximum kurtosis component. However, the final result may disperse the effective fault information to different frequency bands or find wrong frequency band, resulting in inaccurate frequency band selection or misdiagnosis. In order to find the maximum component of kurtosis accurately, an algorithm of frequency band multidivisional and overlapped based on EWT (MDO-EWT) is proposed in this paper. This algorithm changes the traditional Fast Kurtogram frequency bands division method and filtering method. It builds the EWT boundaries based on the maximum kurtosis component in each iteration and finally obtains the maximum kurtosis component. Through the simulation signal and the rolling bearing inner and outer ring fault signals verification, it is proved that the proposed method has a good performance on accuracy and effectiveness.

This study presents a fault diagnosis method for rolling bearing based on multi-scale deep subdomain adaptation network (MSDSAN). The proposed MSDSAN, as improvement of deep subdomain adaptation network (DSAN), is an unsupervised transfer learning method. MSDSAN reduces the subdomain distribution discrepancy between domains rather than marginal distribution discrepancy, and so better domain invariant fault features are derived to avoid misalignment between domains. Aiming at avoiding fault information loss by fixed receptive fields feature extraction, selective kernel convolution module is introduced into feature extraction of MSDSAN, by which multiple receptive fields are applied to ensure an optimal receptive field for each working condition. Moreover, contribution rates are adaptively assigned to all receptive fields, and the disturbing information extracted by inappropriate receptive fields is further eliminated. As a result, more comprehensive and effective fault information is derived for bearing fault diagnosis. Fault diagnosis experiment of bearings is performed to verify the superiority of the proposed method, and the experimental results demonstrate that MSDSAN achieves better transfer effects and higher accuracy than SOTA methods under varying working conditions.

The condition monitoring of rotating machinery is always a focus of intelligent fault diagnosis. In view of the traditional methods’ excessive dependence on prior knowledge to manually extract features, their limited capacity to learn complex nonlinear relations in fault signals and the mixing of the collected signals with environmental noise in the course of the work of rotating machines, this article proposes a novel approach for detecting the bearing fault, which is based on deep learning. To effectively detect, locate, and identify faults in rolling bearings, a stacked noise reduction autoencoder is utilized for abstracting characteristic from the original vibration of signals, and then, the characteristic is provided as input for backpropagation (BP) network classifier. The results output by this classifier represent different fault categories. Experimental results obtained on rolling bearing datasets show that this method can be used to effectively diagnose bearing faults based on original time-domain signals.

Abstract Blind deconvolution (BD) is an effective algorithm for enhancing the impulsive signature of rolling bearings. As a convex optimization problem, the existing BDs have poor optimization performance and cannot effectively enhance the impulsive signature excited by weak faults. Moreover, the existing BDs require manual derivation of the calculation process, which brings great inconvenience to the researcher's personalized design of the maximization criterion. A new BD algorithm based on backward automatic differentiation (BAD) is proposed, which is named BADBD. The calculation process does not require manual derivation so a general solution of BDs based on different maximization criteria is realized. BADBD constructs multiple cascaded filters to filter the raw vibration signal, which makes up for the deficiency of single filter performance. The filter coefficients are determined by Adam algorithm, which improves the optimization performance of the proposed BADBD. BADBD is compared with classic BDs by synthesized and real vibration signals. The results reveal superior capability of BADBD to enhance the impulsive signature and the fault diagnosis performance is significantly better than the classic BDs.

In the early fault diagnosis of rolling bearing, the vibration signal is mixed with a lot of noise, resulting in the difficulties in analysis of early weak fault signal. This article introduces resonance-based signal sparse decomposition (RSSD) into rolling bearing fault diagnosis, and studies the fault information contained in high resonance component and low resonance component. This article compares the effect of the two resonance components to extract rolling bearing fault information in four aspects: the amount of fault information, frequency resolution of subbands, sensitivity to noise and immunity to autocorrelation processing. We find that the high resonance component has greater advantage in extraction of rolling bearing fault information, and it is able to indicate rolling bearing failure accurately.

The multisource information fusion technique is currently one of the common methods for rolling bearing fault diagnosis. However, the current research rarely fuses information from the data of different sensors. At the same time, the dispersion itself in the VAE method has asymmetric characteristics, which can enhance the robustness of the system. Therefore, in this paper, the information fusion method of the variational autoencoder (VAE) and random forest (RF) methods are targeted for subsequent lifetime evolution analysis. This fusion method achieves, for the first time, the simultaneous monitoring of acceleration signals, weak magnetic signals and temperature signals of rolling bearings, thus improving the fault diagnosis capability and laying the foundation for subsequent life evolution analysis and the study of the fault–slip correlation. Drawing on the experimental procedure of the CWRU’s rolling bearing dataset, the proposed VAERF technique was evaluated by conducting inner ring fault diagnosis experiments on the experimental platform of the self-research project. The proposed method exhibits the best performance compared to other point-to-point algorithms, achieving a classification rate of 98.19%. The comparison results further demonstrate that the deep learning fusion of weak magnetic and vibration signals can improve the fault diagnosis of rolling bearings.

A rolling bearing is an important connecting part between rotating machines. It is susceptible to mechanical stress and wear, which affect the running state of bearings. In order to effectively identify the fault types and analyze the fault severity of rolling bearings, a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on multiscale amplitude-aware permutation entropy (MAAPE) and random forest is proposed in this paper. The vibration signals of rolling bearings to be analyzed are decomposed into different coarse-grained time series by using the coarse-graining procedure in multiscale entropy, highlighting the fault dynamic characteristics of vibration signals at different scales. The fault features contained in the coarse-grained time series at different time scales are extracted by using amplitude-aware permutation entropy’s sensitive characteristics to signal amplitude and frequency changes to form fault feature vectors. The fault feature vector set is used to establish the random forest multi-classifier, and the fault type identification and fault severity analysis of rolling bearings is realized through random forest. In order to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method, experiments were fully conducted in this paper. The experimental results show that multiscale amplitude-aware permutation entropy can effectively extract fault features of rolling bearings from vibration signals, and the extracted feature vectors have high separability. Compared with other rolling bearing fault diagnosis methods, the proposed method not only has higher fault type identification accuracy, but also can analyze the fault severity of rolling bearings to some extent. The identification accuracy of four fault types is up to 96.0% and the fault recognition accuracy under different fault severity reached 92.8%.

As one of the important parts of a mechanical transmission system, a rolling bearing often has multiple faults coexisting, and the mutual coupling between multiple faults poses a challenge for accurate diagnosis of rolling bearings. Aiming at the above problems, this paper proposes a weighted Morlet wavelet-overlapping group sparse (WOGS) algorithm for the multiple fault diagnosis of rolling bearings. On the basis of the overlapping feature of Morlet wavelet transform coefficients, a WOGS optimization model was initially constructed. Thereafter, the weight coefficients in the model were constructed by analyzing the impulse features of the signal. Thus, majorization-minimization was used to solve the optimization problem. A case study on weak multiple fault diagnosis of rolling bearings was performed to validate the effectiveness of the WOGS algorithm. Quantitative indexes are used to further discuss the extraction accuracies of different algorithms, and the results show that the proposed algorithm exhibits better performance than other algorithms.

Abstract Rolling bearings are an important part of rotary machines. They are used most widely in various mechanical sectors, which are among the most vulnerable components in machines. This paper uses CKF algorithm to compile a signal analysis system, analyses the vibration signal of the rolling bearing, extracts fault features, and realizes fault diagnosis. In order to improve the estimation accuracy of bearing fault diagnosis under nonlinear model, a nonlinear model of bearing fault diagnosis based on quaternion and low-accuracy high-noise sensors is established, and the attitude estimation has performed using the culture Kalman filter (CKF) algorithm. The sensor data comparison shows that the use of the volumetric Kalman filter algorithm can effectively improve the estimation accuracy of bearing fault diagnosis and stability. In this paper, the measured vibration signals of several groups of rolling bearings are analysed, and the signal characteristic frequency has extracted. The results show that using the analysis software designed in this paper, several typical faults of rolling bearings can be correctly identified.

Rolling bearings are widely used in rotating machinery. Their fault feature signals are often submerged in strong noise and are difficult to identify. This paper presents a new method of bearing fault diagnosis that combines the coupled Lorenz system and power spectrum technology. The process is achieved in the following three steps. First, a synchronization system based on the Lorenz system is constructed using the driving-response method. Second, when the tested signal is connected to the driving end, the synchronization error between the two sub-chaotic systems is obtained. Finally, the power spectrum density of the synchronization error is calculated and compared with the corresponding fault characteristic frequency. The coupled Lorenz system makes full use of the noise immunity and nonlinear amplification of the chaotic system. The detection characteristics and feasibility of the new method are verified by simulation and actual measured vibration data. The result shows that the noise reduction effect of the coupled Lorenz system is obvious. This method can improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the tested signal and provide a new way to perform fault diagnosis of rolling bearings.
