As critical components, rolling bearings are widely used in a variety of rotating machinery. It is necessary to develop a suitable fault diagnosis method to prevent malfunctions and breakages of bearings during operation. However, the current methods for the fault diagnosis of rolling bearings are too cumbersome to be applied in practical engineering. In addition, the working condition of rolling bearings is generally tough, complex, and especially variable. These conditions cause fault diagnosis methods to be less effective. This paper aims to provide a simple and effective method for the fault diagnosis of rolling bearings under variable conditions. The main contribution of this paper is as follows: (1) The refined composite multiscale fuzzy entropy (RCMFE) is applied in bearing fault feature extraction because of its simplicity and high efficiency; (2) The improved support vector machine (ISVM), based on the whale optimization algorithm (WOA), is proposed to identify the fault pattern of rolling bearings. The ISVM is proposed in this paper to solve the problem that parameter setting affects the classification effect of SVM. In the ISVM, the WOA is employed to optimize both the regularization and kernel parameters of the SVM. Compared with the traditional optimization methods, the WOA has the advantages of high optimization speed and better optimization ability; (3) Combining the RCMFE and the ISVM to diagnose bearing fault under variable working conditions. The effectiveness of the RCMFE-ISVM has been validated via experimental vibration signal of bearings faults under variable working conditions.

Rolling bearings are the most frequently failed components in rotating machinery. Once a failure occurs, the entire system will be shut down or even cause catastrophic consequences. Therefore, a fault detection of rolling bearings is of great significance. Due to the complexity of the mechanical system, the randomness of the vibration signal appears on different scales. Based on the multi-scale fuzzy entropy (FE) analysis of the vibration signal, a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on smoothness priors approach (SPA) -FE-IFSVM is proposed. The SPA method was used to adaptively decompose the vibration signal and obtain the trend item and de-trend item of the vibration signal. Then the fuzzy entropy of the trend item and de-trend item was calculated respectively. Meanwhile, aiming at the problem that the support vector machine (SVM) cannot process the data set containing fuzzy messages and was sensitive to noise, the fuzzy support vector machine (FSVM) was introduced and improved, and then the FE as the feature vector was input into the improved fuzzy support vector machine (IFSVM) to identify the failure. The method was applied to the rolling bearing experimental data. The analysis results show that: this method can achieve 100% fault diagnosis accuracy when only two component features are extracted, which can effectively realize the fault diagnosis of rolling bearings.

To improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis of bearing, the improved particle swarm optimization variational mode decomposition (VMD) and support vector machine (SVM) models are proposed. Aiming at the convergence effect of particle swarm optimization (PSO), dynamic inertia weight, and gradient information are introduced to improve PSO (IPSO). IPSO is used to optimize the optimal number of VMD modal components and the penalty factor, which is applied to the vibration signal decomposition. The fault sample set is constructed by calculating the multi-scale information entropy of each component signal obtained from the bearing vibration signals. At the same time, IPSO is used to optimize the support vector machine (IPSO-SVM), which is used to bearing fault diagnosis. The time-domain feature data set is used as the comparison data set, and the classical PSO, genetic algorithm, and cross-validation method are used as the comparison algorithm to verify the effectiveness of the method in this paper. The research results show that the optimized VMD can effectively decompose the vibration signal and can effectively highlight the fault characteristics. IPSO can increase the accuracy by 2% without adding additional costs. And the accuracy, volatility, and convergence error of IPSO are better than comparison algorithms.

This study investigates a novel method for roller bearing fault diagnosis based on local characteristic-scale decomposition (LCD) energy entropy, together with a support vector machine designed using an Artificial Chemical Reaction Optimisation Algorithm, referred to as an ACROA-SVM. First, the original acceleration vibration signals are decomposed into intrinsic scale components (ISCs). Second, the concept of LCD energy entropy is introduced. Third, the energy features extracted from a number of ISCs that contain the most dominant fault information serve as input vectors for the support vector machine classifier. Finally, the ACROA-SVM classifier is proposed to recognize the faulty roller bearing pattern. The analysis of roller bearing signals with inner-race and outer-race faults shows that the diagnostic approach based on the ACROA-SVM and using LCD to extract the energy levels of the various frequency bands as features can identify roller bearing fault patterns accurately and effectively. The proposed method is superior to approaches based on Empirical Mode Decomposition method and requires less time.

To solve the problem that the bearing fault of variable working conditions is challenging to identify and classify in the industrial field, this paper proposes a new method based on optimization of multidimension fault energy characteristics and integrates with an improved least-squares support vector machine (LSSVM). First, because the traditional wavelet energy feature is difficult to effectively reflect the characteristics of rolling bearing under different working conditions, based on analyzing the wavelet energy feature extraction in detail, a collaborative method of multidimension fault energy feature extraction combined with the method of Transfer Component Analysis (TCA) is constructed, which improves the discrimination between the different features and the compactness between the same features of rolling bearing faults. Then, for solving the problem of the local optimal of particle swarm optimization (PSO) in fault diagnosis and recognition of rolling bearing, an improved LSSVM based on particle swarm optimization and wavelet mutation optimization is established to realize the collaborative optimization and adjustment of LSSVM dynamic parameters. Based on the improved LSSVM and optimization of multidimensional energy characteristics, a new method for fault diagnosis of rolling bearing is designed. Finally, the simulation and analysis of the proposed algorithm are verified by the experimental data of different working conditions. The experimental results show that this method can effectively extract the multidimensional fault characteristics under variable working conditions and has a high fault recognition rate.
