Planetary gearboxes are more and more widely used in large and complex construction machinery such as those used in aviation, aerospace fields, and so on. However, the movement of the gear is a typical complex motion and is often under variable conditions in real environments, which may make vibration signals of planetary gearboxes nonlinear and nonstationary. It is more difficult and complex to achieve fault diagnosis than to fix the axis gearboxes effectively. A fault diagnosis method for planetary gearboxes based on improved complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition (ICEEMD)-time-frequency information entropy and variable predictive model-based class discriminate (VPMCD) is proposed in this paper. First, the vibration signal of planetary gearboxes is decomposed into several intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) by using the ICEEMD algorithm, which is used to determine the noise component by using the magnitude of the entropy and to remove the noise components. Then, the time-frequency information entropy of intrinsic modal function under the new decomposition is calculated and regarded as the characteristic matrix. Finally, the fault mode is classified by the VPMCD method. The experimental results demonstrate that the method proposed in this paper can not only solve the fault diagnosis of planetary gearboxes under different operation conditions, but can also be used for fault diagnosis under variable operation conditions. Simultaneously, the proposed method is superior to the wavelet entropy method and variational mode decomposition (VMD)-time-frequency information entropy.

The research in bearing fault diagnosis has been attracting great attention in the past decades. Development of feasible fault diagnosis procedures to prevent failures that could cause huge economic loss timely is necessary. The whole life of the bearing is also a developing process for some sensitive features related to the fault trend. In this paper, a new scheme based on ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and support vector regression (SVR) to conduct bearing fault degree recognition is proposed. This analysis first extracts the sensitive features from the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) produced by EEMD which is a potential time-frequency analysis method, and then constructs an intelligent nonlinear model with input feature vectors extracted from the IMFs and defect size as output. Through validation of experimental data, the results indicated that the bearing fault degree could be effectively and precisely recognized.

The feature extraction of composite fault of gearbox in mining machinery has always been a difficulty in the field of fault diagnosis. Especially in strong background noise, the frequency of each fault feature is different, so an adaptive time-frequency analysis method is urgently needed to extract different types of faults. Considering that the signal after complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD) contains a lot of pseudo components, which further leads to misdiagnosis. The article proposes a new method for actively removing noise components. Firstly, the best scale factor of multi-scale sample entropy (MSE) is determined by signals with different signal to noise ratios (SNRs); secondly, the minimum value of a large number of random noise MSE is extracted and used as the threshold of CEEMD; then, the effective Intrinsic mode functions(IMFs) component is reconstructed, and the reconstructed signal is CEEMD decomposed again; finally, after multiple iterations, the MSE values of the component signal that are less than the threshold are obtained, and the iteration is terminated. The proposed method is applied to the composite fault simulation signal and mining machinery vibration signal, and the composite fault feature is accurately extracted.

Arc fault diagnosis is necessary for the safety and efficiency of PV stations. This study proposed an arc fault diagnosis algorithm formed by combining variational mode decomposition (VMD), improved multi-scale fuzzy entropy (IMFE), and support vector machine (SVM).. This method first uses VMD to decompose the current into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) in the time-frequency domain, then calculates the IMFE according to the IMFs associated with the arc fault. Finally, it uses SVM to detect arc faults according to IMFEs. Arc fault data gathered from a PV arc generation experiment platform are used to validate the proposed method. The results indicated the proposed method can classify arc fault data and normal data effectively.

Envelope Signal

Demodulation is one of the most useful techniques for the fault diagnosis of rotating machinery. The commonly used demodulation methods try to select one sensitive sub-band signal that contains the most fault-related components for further analysis. However, a large number of the fault-related components that exist in other sub-bands are ignored in the commonly used envelope demodulation methods. Based on a weighted-empirical mode decomposition (EMD) de-noising technique and time–frequency (TF) impulse envelope analysis, a multi-scale demodulation method is proposed for fault diagnosis. In the proposed method, EMD is first employed to divide the signal into some IMFs (intrinsic mode functions). Then, a new weighted-EMD de-noising technique is presented, and different weights are assigned to IMFs for construction according to their fault-related degrees; thus, the fault-unrelated components are suppressed to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). After that, continuous wavelet transformation (CWT) is adopted to obtain the time–frequency representation (TFR) of the de-noised signal. Subsequently, the fault-related components in the entire frequency range scale are calculated together, referring to the TF impulse envelope signal. Finally, a fault diagnosis result can be obtained after the fast Fourier transformation of the TF impulse envelope signal. The proposed method and three commonly used methods are applied to the fault diagnosis of a planetary gearbox with a sun gear spalling fault and a fixed shaft gearbox with a crack fault. The results show that the proposed method can effectively detect gear faults and yields better performance than other methods.

The fault diagnosis of hydraulic pumps is currently important and significant to ensure the normal operation of the entire hydraulic system. Considering the nonlinear characteristics of hydraulic-pump vibration signals and the mode mixing problem of the original Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) method, first, we use the Complete Ensemble EMD (CEEMD) method to decompose the signals. Second, the time-frequency analysis methods, which include the Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) and time-frequency entropy calculation, are applied to realize the robust feature extraction. Third, the multiclass Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is introduced to automatically classify the fault mode in this paper. An actual hydraulic-pump experiment demonstrates the procedure with a complete feature extraction and accurate mode classification.

Bearing Fault Diagnosis

Feature extraction is one of the most difficult aspects of mechanical fault diagnosis, and it is directly related to the accuracy of bearing fault diagnosis. In this study, improved permutation entropy (IPE) is defined as the feature for bearing fault diagnosis. In this method, ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), a self-adaptive time-frequency analysis method, is used to process the vibration signals, and a set of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) can thus be obtained. A feature extraction strategy based on statistical analysis is then presented for IPE, where the so-called optimal number of permutation entropy (PE) values used for an IPE is adaptively selected. The obtained IPE-based samples are then input to a support vector machine (SVM) model. Subsequently, a trained SVM can be constructed as the classifier for bearing fault diagnosis. Finally, experimental vibration signals are applied to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, and the results show that the proposed method can effectively and accurately diagnose bearing faults, such as inner race faults, outer race faults, and ball faults.

Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) can decompose signals into multiple intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). In recent years, VMD has been widely used in fault diagnosis. However, it requires a preset number of decomposition layers K and is sensitive to background noise. Therefore, in order to determine K adaptively, Permutation Entroy Optimization (PEO) is proposed in this paper. This algorithm can adaptively determine the optimal number of decomposition layers K according to the characteristics of the signal to be decomposed. At the same time, in order to solve the sensitivity of VMD to noise, this paper proposes a Modified VMD (MVMD) based on the idea of Noise Aided Data Analysis (NADA). The algorithm first adds the positive and negative white noise to the original signal, and then uses the VMD to decompose it. After repeated cycles, the noise in the original signal will be offset to each other. Then each layer of IMF is integrated with each layer, and the signal is reconstructed according to the results of the integrated mean. MVMD is used for the final decomposition of the reconstructed signal. The algorithm is used to deal with the simulation signals and measured signals of gearbox with multiple fault characteristics. Compared with the decomposition results of EEMD and VMD, it shows that the algorithm can not only improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the signal effectively, but can also extract the multiple fault features of the gear box in the strong noise environment. The effectiveness of this method is verified.

This paper presents a novel fault diagnosis method for analog circuits using ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), relative entropy, and extreme learning machine (ELM). First, nominal and faulty response waveforms of a circuit are measured, respectively, and then are decomposed into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) with the EEMD method. Second, through comparing the nominal IMFs with the faulty IMFs, kurtosis and relative entropy are calculated for each IMF. Next, a feature vector is obtained for each faulty circuit. Finally, an ELM classifier is trained with these feature vectors for fault diagnosis. Via validating with two benchmark circuits, results show that the proposed method is applicable for analog fault diagnosis with acceptable levels of accuracy and time cost.

<p>Abstract</p><p>Most of the time series in nature are nonlinear and nonstationary affected by climate change particularly. It is inevitable that Taiwan has also experienced frequent drought events in recent years. However, drought events are natural disasters with no clear warnings and their influences are cumulative. The difficulty of detecting and analyzing the drought phenomenon remains. To deal with the above-mentioned problem, Multi-dimensional Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (MEEMD) is introduced to analyze the temperature and rainfall data from 1975~2018 in this study, which is a powerful method developed for the time-frequency analysis of nonlinear, nonstationary time series. This method can not only analyze the spatial locality and temporal locality of signals but also decompose the multiple-dimensional time series into several Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs). By the set of IMFs, the meaningful instantaneous frequency and the trend of the signals can be observed. Considering stochastic and deterministic influences, to enhance the accuracy this study also reconstruct IMFs into two components, stochastic and deterministic, by the coefficient of auto-correlation.</p><p>In this study, the influences of temperature and precipitation on the drought events will be discussed. Furthermore, to decrease the significant impact of drought events, this study also attempts to forecast the occurrences of drought events in the short-term via the Artificial Neural Network technique. And, based on the CMIP5 model, this study also investigates the trend and variability of drought events and warming in different climatic scenarios.</p><p> </p><p>Keywords: Multi-dimensional Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (MEEMD), Intrinsic Mode Function(IMF), Drought</p>
