In order to solve the problem that it is very difficult to extract fault features directly from the weak impact component of early fault signal of rolling bearing, a method combining continuous variational mode decomposition (SVMD) with modified MOMEDA based on Teager energy operator is proposed. Firstly, the low resonance impulse component in the fault signal is separated from the harmonic component and noise by SVMD, and then the Teager energy operator is used to enhance the impulse feature in the low resonance component to ensure that the accurate fault period is selected by the MOMOEDA algorithm. After further noise reduction by MOMEDA, the envelope spectrum of the signal is analyzed, and finally the fault location is determined. The results of simulation and experimental data show that this method can accurately and effectively extract the characteristic frequency of rolling bearing weak fault.

The extraction of impulsive signatures from a vibration signal is vital for fault diagnosis of rolling element bearings, which are always whelmed by noise, especially in the early stage of defect development. Aiming at the weak defect diagnosis, kurtosis of Teager energy operator (KTEO) spectrum is employed to indicate the fault information capacity of a spectrum, and considering the accumulative effect of a singular component, accumulative kurtosis of TEO (AKTEO) is firstly proposed to determine the proper signal reconstructed order during vibration signal processing using singular value decomposition (SVD). Then, a vibration processing scheme named SVD-AKTEO is designed where an iteration is employed to reflect an accumulative singular effect by kurtosis of TEO spectrum. Finally, the fault diagnosis results can be extracted from the TEO spectrum output by SVD-AKTEO. Simulation data and real data from a run-to-failure experiment of a rolling bearing are adopted to validate the efficiency, and comparative analysis demonstrates the feasibility to detect the early defect of the rolling bearing.

Purpose This paper aims to explore a new way to extract the fault feature of a rolling bearing signal on the basis of a combinatorial method. Design/methodology/approach By combining local mean decomposition (LMD) with Teager energy operator, a new feature-extraction method of a rolling bearing fault signal was proposed, called the LMD–Teager transform method. The principles and steps of method are presented, and the physical meaning of the time–frequency power spectrum and marginal spectrum is discussed. On the basis of comparison with the fast Fourier transform method, a simulated non-stationary signal was processed to verify the effect of the new method. Meanwhile, an analysis was conducted by using the recorded vibration signals which include inner race, out race and bearing ball fault signal. Findings The results show that the proposed method is more suitable for the non-stationary fault signal because the LMD–Teager transform method breaks through the difficulty of the Fourier transform method that can process only the stationary signal. The new method can extract more useful information and can provide better analysis accuracy and resolution compared with the traditional Fourier method. Originality/value Combining the advantage of the local mean decomposition and the Teager energy operator, the LMD–Teager method suits the nature of the fault signal. A marginal spectrum obtained from the LMD–Teager method minimizes the estimation bias brought about by the non-stationarity of the fault signal. So, the LMD–Teager transform has better analysis accuracy and resolution than the traditional Fourier method, which provides a good alternative for fault diagnosis of the rolling bearing.

Periodic impulses in vibration signals and its repeating frequency are the key indicators for diagnosing the local damage of rolling element bearings. A new method based on ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and the Teager energy operator is proposed to extract the characteristic frequency of bearing fault. The signal is firstly decomposed into monocomponents by means of EEMD to satisfy the monocomponent requirement by the Teager energy operator. Then, the intrinsic mode function (IMF) of interest is selected according to its correlation with the original signal and its kurtosis. Next, the Teager energy operator is applied to the selected IMF to detect fault-induced impulses. Finally, Fourier transform is applied to the obtained Teager energy series to identify the repeating frequency of fault-induced periodic impulses and thereby to diagnose bearing faults. The principle of the method is illustrated by the analyses of simulated bearing vibration signals. Its effectiveness in extracting the characteristic frequency of bearing faults, and especially its performance in identifying the symptoms of weak and compound faults, are validated by the experimental signal analyses of both seeded fault experiments and a run-to-failure test. Comparison studies show its better performance than, or complements to, the traditional spectral analysis and the squared envelope spectral analysis methods.
