Periodic impulses and the oscillation response signal are the vital feature indicators of rolling bearing faults. However, finding the suitable feature frequency band is usually difficult due to the interferences of other components and multiple resonance regions. According to the characteristics of non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) on a spectrogram, the feature extraction method from a sparse envelope spectrum for rolling bearing faults is proposed in this paper. On the basis of the time–frequency distribution (TFD) of the periodic transient oscillations, the basic matrix can be interpreted as the spectral bases, and the time weight matrix corresponding to spectral bases can be extracted by NMF. Because the bases and the weights have a one-to-one correspondence, the frequency band filtering with the basic component and the time domain envelope of the weight vector are calculated respectively. Then, the sparse envelope spectrum can be derived by the inner product of the above results. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by simulations and experiments. Compared with band-pass filtering and spectral kurtosis methods, and considering the time weights and corresponding the spectral bases for the periodic transient oscillations, the weak fault-rated feature can be enhanced in the sparse spectrum, while other components and noise are weakened. Therefore, the proposed method can reduce the requirement of selecting frequency band filtering.

Abstract Aiming at the problem of strong impact, short response period and wide resonance frequency bandwidth of transient vibration signals, a transient feature extraction method based on adaptive Tunable Q-factor Wavelet Transform (TQWT) was proposed. Firstly, the characteristic frequency band of the vibration signal was selected according to the time-frequency distribution. Based on the characteristic frequency band, the sub-band average energy weighted wavelet Shannon entropy was used to optimize the number of decomposition layers, quality factor and redundancy of TQWT, so as to achieve the adaptive optimal matching of the impact characteristic components in the vibration signal. Then, according to the characteristics of the transient impact of the telemetry vibration signal, the TQWT decomposition coefficients were sparse reconstructed to obtain more sparse impact characteristics, and the weighted power spectrum kurtosis was used as the impact characteristic index to select the optimal sub-band, Finally, the inverse transform of TQWT was used to reconstruct the optimal sub-band to enhance its weak impact features. The simulation and measured signal processing results verify the effectiveness of the algorithm.

Abstract The health condition of rolling bearing can directly influence to the efficiency and lifecycle of rotating machinery, thus monitoring and diagnosing the faults of rolling bearing is of great importance. Unfortunately, vibration signals of rolling bearing are usually overwhelmed by external noise, so the fault frequencies of rolling bearing cannot be readily obtained. In this paper, an improved feature extraction method called IMFs_PE, which combines the multivariate empirical mode decomposition with the permutation entropy, is proposed to extract fault frequencies from the noisy bearing vibration signals. First, the raw bearing vibration signals are filtered by an optimal band-pass filter determined by SK to remove the irrelative noise which is not in the same frequency band of fault frequencies. Then the filtered signals are processed by the IMFs_PE to get rid of the relative noise which is in the same frequency band of fault frequencies. Finally, a frequency domain condition indicator FFR(Fault Frequency Ratio), which measures the magnitude of fault frequencies in frequency domain, is calculated to compare the effectiveness of the feature extraction methods. The feature extraction method proposed in this paper has advantages of removing both irrelative noise and relative noise over other feature extraction methods. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by simulated and experimental bearing signals. And the results are shown that the proposed method outperforms other state of the art algorithms with regards to fault feature extraction of rolling bearing.

To overcome the difficulty of extracting the feature frequency of early bearing faults, this paper proposes an adaptive feature extraction scheme. First, the improved intrinsic time-scale decomposition, proposed in this paper, is used as a noise reduction method. Then, we use the adaptive composite quantum morphology analysis method, also proposed in this paper, to perform an adaptive demodulation analysis on the signal, and finally, extract the fault characteristics in the envelope spectrum. The experimental results show that the scheme performs well in the early fault feature extraction of rolling bearings.

Aiming at the local fault diagnosis of planetary gearbox gears, a feature extraction method based on improved dynamic time warping (IDTW) is proposed. As a calibration matching algorithm, the dynamic time warping method can detect the differences between a set of time-domain signals. This paper applies the method to fault diagnosis. The method is simpler and more intuitive than feature extraction methods in the frequency domain and the time-frequency domain, avoiding their limitations and disadvantages. Due to the shortcomings of complex calculation, singularity and poor robustness, the paper proposes an improved method. Finally, the method is verified by envelope spectral feature analysis and the local fault diagnosis of gears is realised.

To identify rolling bearing faults under variable load conditions, a method named DISA-KNN is proposed in this paper, which is based on the strategy of feature extraction-domain adaptation-classification. To be specific, the time-domain and frequency-domain indicators are used for feature extraction. Discriminative and domain invariant subspace alignment (DISA) is used to minimize the data distributions’ discrepancies between the training data (source domain) and testing data (target domain). K-nearest neighbor (KNN) is applied to identify rolling bearing faults. DISA-KNN’s validation is proved by the experimental signal collected under different load conditions. The identification accuracies obtained by the DISA-KNN method are more than 90% on four datasets, including one dataset with 99.5% accuracy. The strength of the proposed method is further highlighted by comparisons with the other 8 methods. These results reveal that the proposed method is promising for the rolling bearing fault diagnosis in real rotating machinery.

There are mainly two problems with the current feature extraction methods used in the electrostatic monitoring of rolling bearings, which affect their abilities to identify early faults: (1) since noises are mixed in the electrostatic signals, it is difficult to extract weak early fault features; (2) traditional time and frequency domain features have limited ability to provide a quantitative indicator of degradation state. With regard to these two problems, a new feature extraction method for rolling bearing fault diagnosis by electrostatic monitoring sensors is proposed in this paper. First, the spectrum interpolation is adopted to suppress the power-frequency interference in the electrostatic signal. Then the resultant signal is used to construct Hankel matrix, the number of useful components is automatically selected based on the difference spectrum of singular values, after that the signal is reconstructed to remove background noises and random pulses. Finally, the permutation entropy of the denoised signal is calculated and smoothed using the exponential weighted moving average method, which is used to be a quantitative indicator of bearing performance state. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively remove noises and significantly bring forward the time when early faults are detected.

Abstract The level selection of frequency band division structure relies on previous information in most gram approaches that capture the optimal demodulation frequency band (ODFB). When an improper level is specified in these approaches, the fault characteristic information contained in the produced ODFB may be insufficient. This research proposes a unique approach termed median line-gram (MELgram) to tackle the level selection problem. To divide the frequency domain signal into a series of demodulation frequency bands, a spectrum median line segmentation model based on Akima interpolation is first created. The level and boundary of the segmentation model can be adaptively identified by this means. Second, the acquired frequency bands are quantized using the negative entropy index, and the ODFB is defined as the frequency band with the largest value. Third, the envelope spectrum is used to determine the ODFB characteristic frequency to pinpoint the bearing fault location. Finally, both simulation and experimental signal analysis are used to demonstrate the efficiency of the suggested method. Furthermore, the suggested method extracts more defect feature information from the ODFB than existing methods.

Fault diagnosis of rolling bearings is not a trivial task because fault-induced periodic transient impulses are always submerged in environmental noise as well as large accidental impulses and attenuated by transmission path. In most hybrid diagnostic methods available for rolling bearings, the problems lie in twofolds. First, most optimization indices used in the individual signal processing stage do not take the periodical characteristic of fault transient impulses into consideration. Second, the individual stages make use of different optimization indices resulting in inconsistent optimization directions and possibly an unsatisfied diagnosis. To solve these problems, a multistage fault feature extraction method of consistent optimization for rolling bearings based on correlated kurtosis (CK) is proposed where maximum correlated kurtosis deconvolution (MCKD) is employed to attenuate the influence of transmission path followed by tunable Q factor wavelet transform (TQWT) to further enhance fault features by decomposing the preprocessed signals into multiple subbands under different Q values. The major contribution of the proposed approach is to consistently use CK as an optimization index of both MCKD and TQWT. The subband signal with the maximum CK which is an index being able to measure the periodical transient impulses in vibration signal yields an envelope spectrum, from which fault diagnosis is implemented. Simulated and experimental signals verified the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed method.

For the situation that it is difficult to diagnose rolling bearings fault effectively for small samples, so it proposes a feature extraction method of rolling bearing based on local mean decomposition (LMD) energy feature. Due to the frequency domain distribution of vibration signals will change when different faults occur in rolling bearings, so it can use LMD energy feature method to extract the fault features of rolling bearings. The instances analysis and extracted results show that the LMD energy feature can extract the vibration signal fault feature of rolling bearings effectively.
