To efficiently extract the features of aeroengine intershaft bearing faults with weak signal, the variational mode decomposition (VMD) method based on the tolerant adaptive genetic algorithm (TAGA) (TAGA-VMD) is proposed by introducing the idea of tolerance into the traditional adaptive genetic algorithm in this paper. In this method, the tolerant genetic algorithm was adopted to find the optimum empirical parameters K and α of VMD. A fault simulation experiment system of intershaft bearings was built for the inner ring fault and outer ring fault of bearings to verify the proposed TAGA-VMD method. The results show that the proposed method can effectively extract the fault feature frequency of intershaft bearings, and the error between the extracted fault feature frequency and the theoretical value of fault frequency is less than 0.1%. The efforts of this study provide one promising fault feature extraction approach for aeroengine intershaft bearing fault diagnosis with weak signal.

Aiming at the problem that it is difficult to extract fault features from the nonlinear and non-stationary vibration signals of wind turbine rolling bearings, which leads to the low diagnosis and recognition rate, a feature extraction method based on multi-island genetic algorithm (MIGA) improved variational mode decomposition (VMD) and multi-features is proposed. The decomposition effect of the VMD method is limited by the number of decompositions and the selection of penalty factors. This paper uses MIGA to optimize the parameters. The improved VMD method is used to decompose the vibration signal into a number of intrinsic mode functions (IMF), and a group of components containing the most information is selected through the Holder coefficient. For these components, multi-features based on Renyi entropy feature, singular value feature, and Hjorth parameter feature are extracted as the final feature vector, which is input to the classifier to realize the fault diagnosis of rolling bearing. The experimental results prove that the proposed method can more effectively extract the fault characteristics of rolling bearings. The fault diagnosis model based on this method can accurately identify bearing signals of 16 different fault types, severity, and damage points.

For the unsteady characteristics of a fault vibration signal of a wind turbine’s rolling bearing, a bearing fault diagnosis method based on variational mode decomposition of the energy distribution is proposed. Firstly, variational mode decomposition is used to decompose the original vibration signal into a finite number of stationary components. Then, some components which comprise the major fault information are selected for further analysis. When a rolling bearing fault occurs, the energy in different frequency bands of the vibration acceleration signals will change. Energy characteristic parameters can then be extracted from each component as the input parameters of the classifier, based on the K nearest neighbour algorithm. This can identify the type of fault in the rolling bearing. The vibration signals from a spherical roller bearing in its normal state, with an outer race fault, with an inner race fault and with a roller fault were analyzed. The results showed that the proposed method (variational mode decomposition is used as a pre-processor to extract the energy of each frequency band as the characteristic parameter) can identify the working state and fault type of rolling bearings in a wind turbine.

A novel bearing fault diagnosis method based on Lie group was proposed, and genetic algorithm (GA) was introduced to optimize feature amount. This method was applied to inner ring fault, outer ring fault and rolling element fault of rolling bearing. Firstly, the rolling bearing vibration signal was decomposed as intrinsic model functions (IMF) by using the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) method. The energy of every IMF and the singular value of the IMF matrix were chosen as features. The Shannon and Renyi entropy of the energy and singular value distribution were also extracted. Secondly genetic algorithm was used to reduce feature redundancy, with lowest classifier error rate and least feature amount as finess function. At last, a comparison was made between this method and least square support vector machine (LSSVM).The results showed that Lie group clkassifier was more sensitivce to feature. This method could use less feature amount to diagnose fault.
