Effective filtering and noise reduction, feature extraction and fault diagnosis, and prognostics technology are important to Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) of equipment. Therefore, a multifeature fusion fault diagnosis method based on the combination of quadratic filtering and QPSO-KELM algorithm is proposed. In the quadratic filtering, stable filtering can reduce the impact of noise and fast-kurtogram can filtrate fault frequency bands with rich fault information. Then, the time-domain, frequency-domain, and time-frequency parameters of the secondary filter signal are extracted. MSSST was used to analyze the filtered signal, and the time-frequency image was obtained. The time-frequency parameter was extracted from the time-frequency image by 2DPCA, and all the extracted parameters are taken as the fusion fault feature of the gearbox. Finally, the fault feature parameters are taken as the training sample and testing sample of QPSO-KELM for training and testing to achieve the purpose of fault diagnosis. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively filter the noise, complete the fault mode identification of gearbox, and improve the fault diagnosis accuracy better than other methods.

Wayside acoustic defective bearing detector (ADBD) system is a potential technique in ensuring the safety of traveling vehicles. However, Doppler distortion and multiple moving sources aliasing in the acquired acoustic signals decrease the accuracy of defective bearing fault diagnosis. Currently, the method of constructing time-frequency (TF) masks for source separation was limited by an empirical threshold setting. To overcome this limitation, this study proposed a dynamic Doppler multisource separation model and constructed a time domain-separating matrix (TDSM) to realize multiple moving sources separation in the time domain. The TDSM was designed with two steps of (1) constructing separating curves and time domain remapping matrix (TDRM) and (2) remapping each element of separating curves to its corresponding time according to the TDRM. Both TDSM and TDRM were driven by geometrical and motion parameters, which would be estimated by Doppler feature matching pursuit (DFMP) algorithm. After gaining the source components from the observed signals, correlation operation was carried out to estimate source signals. Moreover, fault diagnosis could be carried out by envelope spectrum analysis. Compared with the method of constructing TF masks, the proposed strategy could avoid setting thresholds empirically. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed technique was validated by simulation and experimental cases. Results indicated the potential of this method for improving the performance of the ADBD system.

Rotating machinery usually suffers from a type of fault, where the fault feature extracted in the frequency domain is significant, while the fault feature extracted in the time domain is insignificant. For this type of fault, a deep learning-based fault diagnosis method developed in the frequency domain can reach high accuracy performance without real-time performance, whereas a deep learning-based fault diagnosis method developed in the time domain obtains real-time diagnosis with lower diagnosis accuracy. In this paper, a multimodal feature fusion-based deep learning method for accurate and real-time online diagnosis of rotating machinery is proposed. The proposed method can directly extract the potential frequency of abnormal features involved in the time domain data. Firstly, multimodal features corresponding to the original data, the slope data, and the curvature data are firstly extracted by three separate deep neural networks. Then, a multimodal feature fusion is developed to obtain a new fused feature that can characterize the potential frequency feature involved in the time domain data. Lastly, the fused new feature is used as the input of the Softmax classifier to achieve a real-time online diagnosis result from the frequency-type fault data. A simulation experiment and a case study of the bearing fault diagnosis confirm the high efficiency of the method proposed in this paper.

With the development of information theory and image analysis theory, the studies on fault diagnosis methods based on image processing have become a hot spot in the recent years in the field of fault diagnosis. The gearbox of wind turbine generator is a fault-prone subassembly. Its time frequency of vibration signals contains abundant status information, so this paper proposes a fault diagnosis method based on time-frequency image characteristic extraction and artificial immune algorithm. Firstly, obtain the time-frequency image using wavelet transform based on threshold denoising. Secondly, acquire time-frequency image characteristics by means of Hu invariant moment and correlation fusion gray-level co-occurrence matrix of characteristic value, thus, to extract the fault information of the gearing of wind turbine generator. Lastly, diagnose the fault type using the improved actual-value negative selection algorithm. The application of this method in the gear fault diagnosis on the test bed of wind turbine step-up gearbox proves that it is effective in the improvement of diagnosis accuracy.

Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) can extract real time-frequency characteristics from the non-stationary and nonlinear signal. Variable prediction model based class discriminate (VPMCD) is introduced into roller bearing fault diagnosis in this paper. Therefore, a fault diagnosis method based on EMD and VPMCD is put forward in the paper. Firstly, the different feature vectors in the signal are extracted by EMD. Then, different fault models of roller bearing are distinguished by using VPMCD. Finally, an simulation example based on EMD and VPMCD is shown in this paper. The results show that this method can gain very stable classification performance and good computational efficiency.

Early fault information of rolling bearings is weak and often submerged by background noise, easily leading to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis. In order to solve this issue, the present paper puts forward a fault diagnosis method on the basis of adaptive frequency window (AFW) and sparse coding shrinkage (SCS). The proposed method is based on the idea of determining the resonance frequency band, extracting the narrowband signal, and envelope demodulating the extracted signal. Firstly, the paper introduces frequency window, which can slip on the frequency axis and extract the frequency band. Secondly, the double time domain feature entropy is proposed to evaluate the strength of periodic components in signal. The location of the optimal frequency window covering the resonance band caused by bearing fault is determined adaptively by this entropy index and the shifting/expanding frequency window. Thirdly, the signal corresponding to the optimal frequency window is reconstructed, and it is further filtered by the sparse coding shrinkage algorithm to highlight the impact feature and reduce the residue noise. Fourthly, the de-noised signal is demodulated by envelope operation, and the corresponding envelope spectrum is calculated. Finally, the bearing failure type can be judged by comparing the frequency corresponding to the spectral lines with larger amplitude in the envelope spectrum and the fault characteristic frequency. Two bearing vibration signals are applied to validate the proposed method. The analysis results illustrate that this method can extract more failure information and highlight the early failure feature. The data files of Case Western Reserve University for different operation conditions are used, and the proposed approach achieves a diagnostic success rate of 83.3%, superior to that of the AFW method, SCS method, and Fast Kurtogram method. The method presented in this paper can be used as a supplement to the early fault diagnosis method of rolling bearings.

Aiming at addressing the problem that the faults in axial piston pumps are complex and difficult to effectively diagnose, an axial piston pump fault diagnosis method that is based on the combination of Mel-frequency cepstrum coefficients (MFCC) and the extreme learning machine (ELM) is proposed. Firstly, a sound sensor is used to realize contactless sound signal acquisition of the axial piston pump. The wavelet packet default threshold denoises the original acquired sound signals. Afterwards, windowing and framing are added to the de-noised sound signals. The MFCC voiceprint characteristics of the processed sound signals are extracted. The voiceprint characteristics are divided into a training sample set and test sample set. ELM models with different numbers of neurons in the hidden layers are established for training and testing. The relationship between the number of neurons in the hidden layer and the recognition accuracy rate is obtained. The ELM model with the optimal number of hidden layer neurons is established and trained with the training sample set. The trained ELM model is applied to the test sample set for fault diagnosis. The fault diagnosis results are obtained. The fault diagnosis results of the ELM model are compared with those of the back propagation (BP) neural network and the support vector machine. The results show that the fault diagnosis method that is proposed in this paper has a higher recognition accuracy rate, shorter training and diagnosis times, and better application prospect.

As one of the important parts of modern mechanical equipment, the accurate real-time diagnosis of rolling bearing is particularly important. Traditional fault diagnosis methods have some disadvantages, such as low diagnostic accuracy and difficult fault feature extraction. In this paper, a method combining Wavelet transform (WT) and Deformable Convolutional Neural Network (D-CNN) is proposed to realize accurate real-time fault diagnosis of end-to-end rolling bearing. The vibration signal of rolling bearing is taken as the monitoring target. Firstly, the Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) algorithm is used to remove the harmonic signal and retain the impact signal and noise. Secondly, the time-frequency map of the signal is obtained by time-frequency transform using Wavelet analysis. Finally, the D-CNN is used for feature extraction and classification. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the method can reach 99.9% under various fault modes, and it can accurately identify the fault of rolling bearing.

A vibration-based fault diagnosis method of pump units based on wavelet packet transform (WPT) is proposed in this paper. Compared with Fourier transform (FT) and wavelet transform (WT), WPT can subdivide the whole time-frequency domain. It can perform signals with good time resolution at high frequency and vice versa. WPT is considered as a good tool to signal denoising, accounting for its perfect ability in decomposing and reconstructing signal and its characteristic of no redundancy and divulges after denoising. In addition, WPT modulus maximal coefficient provides a simple but accurate method in calculating the Lipschitz exponents, which is the measurement of signal singularity. According to the singularity analysis results of vibration signal, we can recognize the fault pattern of pump units. This paper makes a detail research on signal denoising and singularity analysis based on WPT. Taking the main shaft and thrust bearing vibration signal for example, the experimental results show that WPT is effectively in the fault diagnosis system of pump unit.

Rolling bearings, as important machinery components, strongly affect the operation of machines. Early bearing fault diagnosis methods commonly take time–frequency analysis as the fundamental basis, therein searching for characteristic fault frequencies based on bearing kinematics to identify fault locations. However, due to mode mixing, the characteristic frequencies are usually masked by normal frequencies and thus are difficult to extract. After time–frequency decomposition, the impact signal frequency can be distributed among multiple separation functions according to the mode mixing caused by the impact signal; therefore, it is possible to search for the shared frequency peak value in these separation functions to diagnose bearing faults. Using the wavelet transform, time–frequency analysis and blind source separation theory, this article presents a new method of determining shared frequencies, followed by identifying the faulty parts of bearings. Compared to fast independent component analysis, the sparse component analysis was better able to extract fault characteristics. The numerical simulation and the practical application test in this article obtained satisfactory results when combining the wavelet transform, intrinsic time-scale decomposition and linear clustering sparse component analysis, thereby proving the validity of this method.
