Fault identification under variable operating conditions is a task of great importance and challenge for equipment health management. However, when dealing with this kind of issue, traditional fault diagnosis methods based on the assumption of the distribution coherence of the training and testing set are no longer applicable. In this paper, a novel state identification method integrated by time-frequency decomposition, multi-information entropies, and joint distribution adaptation is proposed for rolling element bearings. At first, fast ensemble empirical mode decomposition was employed to decompose the vibration signals into a collection of intrinsic mode functions, aiming at obtaining the multiscale description of the original signals. Then, hybrid entropy features that can characterize the dynamic and complexity of time series in the local space, global space, and frequency domain were extracted from each intrinsic mode function. As for the training and testing set under different load conditions, all data was mapped into a reproducing space by joint distribution adaptation to reduce the distribution discrepancies between datasets, where the pseudolabels of the testing set and the final diagnostic results were obtained by the k-nearest neighbor algorithm. Finally, five cases with the training and testing set under variable load conditions were used to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method, and comparisons with some other diagnosis models combined with the same features and other dimensionality reduction methods were also discussed. The analysis results show that the proposed method can effectively recognize the multifaults of rolling element bearings under variable load conditions with higher accuracies and has sound practicability.

The vibration signals of rolling element bearings are random cyclostationary when they have faults. Also, statistical properties of the signals change periodically with time. The accurate analysis of time-varying signals is an essential pre-requisite for the fault diagnosis and hence safe operation of rolling element bearings. The Wigner distribution is probably most widely used among the Cohen’s class in order to describe how the spectral content of a signal changes over time. However, the basic nature of such signals causes significant interfering cross-terms, which do not permit a straightforward interpretation of the energy distribution. To overcome this difficulty, the Wigner–Ville distribution (WVD) based on the cyclic spectral density (CSD) is discussed in this article. It is shown that the improved WVD, based on CSD of a long time series, can render the time–frequency distribution less susceptible to noise, and restrain the cross-terms in the time–frequency domain. Simulation and experiment of the rolling element-bearing fault diagnosis are performed, and the results indicate the validity of WVD based on CSD in time–frequency analysis for bearing fault detection.

Rolling element bearings are among the key components in many rotating machineries. It is hence necessary to determine the condition of the bearing with a reasonable degree of confidence. Many techniques have been developed for bearing fault detection. Each of these techniques has its own strengths and weaknesses. In this paper, various features are compared for detecting inner and outer race defects in rolling element bearings. Mutual information between the feature and the defect is used as a quantitative measure of quality. Various time, frequency, and time-frequency domain features are compared and ranked according to their cumulative mutual information content, and an optimal feature set is determined for bearing classification. The performance of this optimal feature set is evaluated using an artificial neural network with one hidden layer. An overall classification accuracy of 97% was obtained over a range of rotating speeds.

Nonlinear characteristics are ubiquitous in the vibration signals produced by rolling element bearings. Fractal dimensions are effective tools to illustrate nonlinearity. This paper proposes a new approach based on Multiscale General Fractal Dimensions (MGFDs) to realize fault diagnosis of rolling element bearings, which are robust to the effects of variation in operating conditions. The vibration signals of bearing are analyzed to extract the general fractal dimensions in multiscales, which are in turn utilized to construct a feature space to identify fault pattern. Finally, bearing faults are revealed by pattern recognition. Case studies are carried out to evaluate the validity and accuracy of the approach. It is verified that this approach is effective for fault diagnosis of rolling element bearings under various operating conditions via experiment and data analysis.

Complex Shifted Morlet Wavelets (CSMW) present a number of advantages when used for the demodulation of the vibration response of defective rolling element bearings: (A) They present the optimally located window simultaneously in the time and in the frequency domains; (B) They allow for the maximal time-frequency resolution; (C) The magnitudes of the complex wavelet coefficients in the time domain lead directly to the required envelope; (D) They allow for the optimal selection of both the center frequency and the bandwidth of the requested filter. A Peak Energy criterion (P. E.) is proposed in this paper for the simultaneous automatic selection of both the center frequency and the bandwidth of the relevant wavelet window to be used. As shown in a number of application cases, this criterion presents a more effective behavior than other criteria used (Crest Factor, Kurtosis, Smoothness Index, Number of Peaks), since it combines the advantages of energy based criteria, with criteria characterizing the spikiness of the response.

Bearing Vibration

Condition monitoring (CM) and fault diagnosis of equipments has gained greater attention in recent years, due to the need to reduce the down time and enhance the life/ condition of the equipments. The rolling element bearings (REB) are the most critical components in rotary machines. Hence, bearing fault detection and diagnosis is an integral part of the preventive maintenance activity. Vibration signal analysis provides wide range of information for analysis. So in this paper, vibration signals for four conditions of a deep groove ball bearing namely Normal (N), bearing with defect on inner race (IR), bearing with defect on ball (B), and bearing with defect on outer race (OR) have been acquired from a customized bearing test rig under maximum speed and variable load conditions. Depending on the machinery operating conditions and the extent of bearing defect severity, the measured vibration signals are non-stationary in nature. Non-stationary signals are effectively analyzed by wavelet transform technique, which is a popular and widely used time-frequency technique. The focus of this paper is to select a best possible mother wavelet for applying WT on bearing vibration signals. The two selection criteria includes minimum Shannon entropycriteria(MSEC) and Maximum Energy to Shannon Entropy Ratio criteriaR(s). This helps in effective bearing CM using WT.
