The present article’s intent is to measure and identify the roller bearing inner race defect width and its corresponding characteristic frequency based on filtered time-domain vibration signal. In case localized fault occurs in a bearing, the rolling elements encounter some slippage as the rolling elements enter and leave the bearing load zone. As a consequence, the incidence of the impacts never reproduce exactly at the same position from one cycle to another. Moreover, when the position of the defect is moving with respect to the load distribution zone of the bearing, the series of impulses are modulated in amplitude in time-domain and the conforming Bearing Characteristic Frequencies (BCFs) arise in frequency domain. In order to verify the ability of time-domain in measuring the fault of rolling bearing, an artificial fault is introduced in the vehicle gearbox bearing: an orthogonal placed groove on the inner race with the initial width of 0.6mm approximately. The faulted bearing is a roller bearing quantification of the characteristic features relevant to the inner race bearing defect. It is located on the gearbox input shaft—on the clutch side. To jettison the frequency associated with interferential vibrations, the vibration signal is filtered with a band-pass filter based on an optimal daughter Morlet wavelet function whose parameters are optimized based on maximum Kurtosis (Kurt.). The residual signal is performed for the measurement of defect width. The proposed technique is used to analyse the experimental signal of vehicle gearbox rolling bearing. The experimental test stand is equipped with two dynamometer machines; the input dynamometer serves as an internal combustion engine, the output dynamometer introduces the load on the flange of the output joint shaft. The Kurtosis and Pulse Indicator (PI) are selected as the evaluation parameters of the de-noising effect. The results show the reliability of the proposed approach for identification and quantification of the characteristic features relevant to the inner race bearing defect.

To deal with the demodulation problem of rolling bearing defect vibration signal in heavy noise, a new method based on time-delayed correlation algorithm and ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) is presented. Introduced the time-delayed autocorrelation de-noising principle. After the discretization and unbiased estimation of the original signals autocorrelation function , de-noising pretreatment is implemented by appending a rectangle window. Then an envelope signal can be obtained by the first Hilbert transform. After the EEMD decomposition, some interested intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) can be collected. By making the second Hilbert transform of the IMFs, we can get the local Hilbert marginal spectrum from which the defects in a rolling bearing can be identified. By repeated analysis of simulation signals and actual rolling bearings defect vibration signal, the results show that the proposed method is more effective than direct modulation or only time-delayed correlation demodulation or combine time-delayed correlation with EMD demodulation in de-noising and diagnosing the rolling bearing's defect information.

In allusion to the issue of rolling bearing degradation feature extraction and degradation condition clustering, a logistic chaotic map is introduced to analyze the advantages of C0 complexity and a technique based on a multidimensional degradation feature and Gath–Geva fuzzy clustering algorithmic is proposed. The multidimensional degradation feature includes C0 complexity, root mean square, and curved time parameter which is more in line with the performance degradation process. Gath–Geva fuzzy clustering is introduced to divide different conditions during the degradation process. A rolling bearing lifetime vibration signal from intelligent maintenance system bearing test center was introduced for instance analysis. The results show that C0 complexity is able to describe the degradation process and has advantages in sensitivity and calculation speed. The introduced degradation indicator curved time parameter can reflect the agglomeration character of the degradation condition at time dimension, which is more in line with the performance degradation pattern of mechanical equipment. The Gath–Geva fuzzy clustering algorithmic is able to cluster degradation condition of mechanical equipment such as bearings accurately.

Aimed at the issue of estimating the fault component from a noisy observation, a novel detection approach based on augmented Huber non-convex penalty regularization (AHNPR) is proposed. The core objectives of the proposed method are that (1) it estimates non-zero singular values (i.e., fault component) accurately and (2) it maintains the convexity of the proposed objective cost function (OCF) by restricting the parameters of the non-convex regularization. Specifically, the AHNPR model is expressed as the L1-norm minus a generalized Huber function, which avoids the underestimation weakness of the L1-norm regularization. Furthermore, the convexity of the proposed OCF is proved via the non-diagonal characteristic of the matrix BTB, meanwhile, the non-zero singular values of the OCF is solved by the forward–backward splitting (FBS) algorithm. Last, the proposed method is validated by the simulated signal and vibration signals of tapered bearing. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach can identify weak fault information from the raw vibration signal under severe background noise, that the non-convex penalty regularization can induce sparsity of the singular values more effectively than the typical convex penalty (e.g., L1-norm fused lasso optimization (LFLO) method), and that the issue of underestimating sparse coefficients can be improved.

In the rotating machinery, rolling bearing is used widespread in many places. Due to various reasons, there is great dispersion in the life of bearing. Therefore, it is very important to have fault diagnosis of rolling bearing, especially the small fault diagnosis of rolling bearing. According to the characteristics of rolling bearing defect signals and the features integrated with wavelet transform, Hilbert transform and envelope spectrum detailed analysis, this text proposed a method to judge the bearing failure. At first, bearing vibration signals are reconstructed from wavelet filter and envelope signals are obtained by Hilbert transform and then vibration spectrum is obtained from the refining envelope spectrum. Bearing failure is judged from the refining frequency spectrum. Bearing failure is also estimated by experiment to verify the correctness of theoretical analysis.

Rolling bearing fault diagnosis is one of the challenging tasks and hot research topics in the condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of rotating machinery. However, in practical engineering applications, the working conditions of rotating machinery are various, and it is difficult to extract the effective features of early fault due to the vibration signal accompanied by high background noise pollution, and there are only a small number of fault samples for fault diagnosis, which leads to the significant decline of diagnostic performance. In order to solve above problems, by combining Auxiliary Classifier Generative Adversarial Network (ACGAN) and Stacked Denoising Auto Encoder (SDAE), a novel method is proposed for fault diagnosis. Among them, during the process of training the ACGAN-SDAE, the generator and discriminator are alternately optimized through the adversarial learning mechanism, which makes the model have significant diagnostic accuracy and generalization ability. The experimental results show that our proposed ACGAN-SDAE can maintain a high diagnosis accuracy under small fault samples, and have the best adaptation performance across different load domains and better anti-noise performance.

In mechanical fault diagnosis, it is impossible to collect massive labeled samples with the same distribution in real industry. Transfer learning, a promising method, is usually used to address the critical problem. However, as the number of samples increases, the interdomain distribution discrepancy measurement of the existing method has a higher computational complexity, which may make the generalization ability of the method worse. To solve the problem, we propose a deep transfer learning method based on 1D-CNN for rolling bearing fault diagnosis. First, 1-dimension convolutional neural network (1D-CNN), as the basic framework, is used to extract features from vibration signal. The CORrelation ALignment (CORAL) is employed to minimize marginal distribution discrepancy between the source domain and target domain. Then, the cross-entropy loss function and Adam optimizer are used to minimize the classification errors and the second-order statistics of feature distance between the source domain and target domain, respectively. Finally, based on the bearing datasets of Case Western Reserve University and Jiangnan University, seven transfer fault diagnosis comparison experiments are carried out. The results show that our method has better performance.
