Aimed at distinguishing different fault categories of severity of rolling bearings, a novel method based on feature space reconstruction and multiscale permutation entropy is proposed in the study. Firstly, the ensemble empirical mode decomposition algorithm (EEMD) was employed to adaptively decompose the vibration signal into multiple intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), and the representative IMFs which contained rich fault information were selected to reconstruct a feature vector space. Secondly, the multiscale permutation entropy (MPE) was used to calculate the complexity of reconstructed feature space. Finally, the value of multiscale permutation entropy was presented to a support vector machine for fault classification. The proposed diagnostic algorithm was applied to three groups of rolling bearing experiments. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method has better classification performance and robustness than other traditional methods.

Rolling bearings are the key components of rotating machinery. However, the incipient fault characteristics of a rolling bearing vibration signal are weak and difficult to extract. To solve this problem, this paper presents a novel rolling bearing vibration signal fault feature extraction and fault pattern recognition method based on variational mode decomposition (VMD), permutation entropy (PE) and support vector machines (SVM). In the proposed method, the bearing vibration signal is decomposed by VMD, and the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) are obtained in different scales. Then, the PE values of each IMF are calculated to uncover the multi-scale intrinsic characteristics of the vibration signal. Finally, PE values of IMFs are fed into SVM to automatically accomplish the bearing condition identifications. The proposed method is evaluated by rolling bearing vibration signals. The results indicate that the proposed method is superior and can diagnose rolling bearing faults accurately.

Taking aim at the nonstationary nonlinearity of the rolling bearing vibration signal, a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on the entropy fusion feature of complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD) is proposed in combination with information fusion theory. First, CEEMD of the vibration signal of the rolling bearing is performed. Then the signal is decomposed into the sum of several intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), and the singular entropy, energy entropy, and permutation entropy are obtained for the IMFs with fault features. Second, the feature extraction method of entropy fusion is proposed, and the three entropy data obtained are input into kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) for feature fusion and dimensionality reduction to obtain complementary features. Finally, the extracted features are imported into the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to optimize the least-squares support vector machine (LSSVM) for fault classification. Through experimental verification, the proposed method can be used for roller bearing fault diagnosis.

The vibration signals resulting from rolling bearings are nonlinear and nonstationary, and an approach for the fault diagnosis of rolling bearings using the quantile permutation entropy and EMD (empirical mode decomposition) is proposed. Firstly, the EMD is used to decompose the rolling bearings vibration signal, and several IMFs (intrinsic mode functions) spanning different scales are obtained. Secondly, aiming at the shortcomings of the permutation entropy algorithm, a new permutation entropy algorithm based on sample quantile is proposed, and the quantile permutation entropy of the first few IMFs, which contain the main fault information, is calculated. The quantile permutation entropies are accordingly seen as the characteristic vector and then input to the particle swarm optimization and support vector machine. Finally, the proposed method is applied to the experimental data. The analysis results show that the proposed approach can effectively achieve fault diagnosis of rolling bearings.

Fault diagnosis of rope tension is significantly important for hoisting safety, especially in mine hoists. Conventional diagnosis methods based on force sensors face some challenges regarding sensor installation, data transmission, safety, and reliability in harsh mine environments. In this paper, a novel fault diagnosis method for rope tension based on the vibration signals of head sheaves is proposed. First, the vibration signal is decomposed into some intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) by the ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) method. Second, a sensitivity index is proposed to extract the main IMFs, then the de-noised signal is obtained by the sum of the main IMFs. Third, the energy and the proposed improved permutation entropy (IPE) values of the main IMFs and the de-noised signal are calculated to create the feature vectors. The IPE is proposed to improve the PE by adding the amplitude information, and it proved to be more sensitive in simulations of impulse detecting and signal segmentation. Fourth, vibration samples in different tension states are used to train a particle swarm optimization–support vector machine (PSO-SVM) model. Lastly, the trained model is implemented to detect tension faults in practice. Two experimental results validated the effectiveness of the proposed method to detect tension faults, such as overload, underload, and imbalance, in both single-rope and multi-rope hoists. This study provides a new perspective for detecting tension faults in hoisting systems.

This paper presents an improved gearbox fault diagnosis approach by integrating complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD) with permutation entropy (PE). The presented approach identifies faults appearing in a gearbox system based on PE values calculated from selected intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) of vibration signals decomposed by CEEMD. Specifically, CEEMD is first used to decompose vibration signals characterizing various defect severities into a series of IMFs. Then, filtered vibration signals are obtained from appropriate selection of IMFs, and correlation coefficients between the filtered signal and each IMF are used as the basis for useful IMFs selection. Subsequently, PE values of those selected IMFs are utilized as input features to a support vector machine (SVM) classifier for characterizing the defect severity of a gearbox. Case study conducted on a gearbox system indicates the effectiveness of the proposed approach for identifying the gearbox faults.

The performance of the rolling bearing of a spindle device is directly related to the safety and reliability of the operation of a mine hoist. To extract bearing vibration signal features effectively for fault diagnosis, a feature extraction method based on the parameter optimization of a variational mode decomposition (VMD) method and permutation entropy (PE) is proposed. In addition, a support vector machine (SVM) classifier is used to identify bearing fault types. An analogue signal is used to test the effect of noise and sampling frequency on VMD performance. Focused on the problem of the VMD method needing to determine the number of mode components K and a penalty factor α during the signal decomposition process, a genetic algorithm is used to optimize the parameter combination [K,α] with the minimum sample entropy as the indicator. By using mean squared error (MSE) and correlation coefficient, an evaluation indicator is constructed to determine the decomposition effects of the optimized VMD, centre frequency, empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and ensemble EMD (EEMD) methods. The normalized PE of the five mode components is used as an eigenvalue, which is used as the input parameter of the SVM. Two different experimental datasets are used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method has better diagnostic accuracy than EMD, EEMD and a BP neural network in the case of limited samples and unknown sample inputs. It can provide a good reference for the diagnosis of a rolling bearing and has practical application value.

The support vector machine (SVM) does not have a fixed parameter selection method and the manual selection of parameters is difficult to determine the validity, which affects the accuracy of recognition. simultaneously, The existing coarse-grained approach cannot effectively analyze the high-frequency components of time series. In view of the shortcomings of the above method, we put forward a new technique of rolling bearings for fault detection, which combines wavelet packet dispersion entropy (WPDE) and artificial fish swarm algorithm (AFSA) optimize support vector machines (AFSA-SVM). First of all, wavelet packet is devoted to decompose the original vibration signal into components of different frequency bands. Secondly, the dispersion entropy (DE) are calculated for each of the obtained frequency band components to acquire more comprehensive and complete fault information. Afterward, Input feature samples into the SVM model for training, and AFSA is used to optimize the parameters of SVM to obtain the optimal value so as to establish the best classification model. Finally, the prepared test set is input into AFSA-SVM for fault classification. The achievement of bearing detection experiments show that this approach can accurately and quickly identify fault types.

Abstract The penalty parameter (c) and kernel parameter (g) contained in Support Vector Machine (SVM) cannot be adaptively selected according to actual samples, which results in low classification accuracy and slow convergence speed. A novel sparrow search algorithm was used to optimize the parameters of SVM classifier. Firstly, an improved ensemble empirical mode decomposition (MEEMD) method was used to decompose non-stationary and nonlinear vibration signals, and the eigenmode function (IMF) was obtained by removing abnormal signals from the original signals through permutation entropy, and the sample entropy was extracted. Finally, a fault diagnosis model based on SSA-SVM is constructed, and the high recognition rate and effectiveness of this method are proved by simulation and experimental data analysis.

Abstract The operation and maintenance costs of windfarms are always high due to high labour costs and the high replacement cost of parts. Thus, it is of great importance to have real-time monitoring and an early fault diagnostic system to prevent major events, reduce time-based maintenance and minimize the cost. In this paper, such a 2-step system for early-stage rolling bearing failures in off-shore wind turbines is introduced. Firstly, Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) is applied to minimize the effect of ambient noise. Next, correlation coefficients between a reference signal and test signals are obtained and incipient fault detection is achieved by comparing the results with a threshold value. Through further analysis of the envelope spectrum, Sample Entropy for selected Intrinsic Mode Functions is obtained, which is further used to train a Support Vector Machine classifier to achieve fault classification and degradation state recognition. The proposed diagnostic approach is verified by experimental tests, and an accuracy of 98% in identifying and classifying rolling bearing failures under various loading conditions is obtained.

Feature extraction is one of the challenging problems in fault diagnosis, and it has a direct bearing on the accuracy of fault diagnosis. Therefore, in this paper, a new method based on ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), wavelet semi-soft threshold (WSST) signal reconstruction, and multi-scale entropy (MSE) is proposed. First, the EEMD method is applied to decompose the vibration signal into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), and then, the high-frequency IMFs, which contain more noise information, are screened by the Pearson correlation coefficient. Then, the WSST method is applied for denoising the high-frequency part of the signal to reconstruct the signal. Secondly, the MSE method is applied for calculating the MSE values of the reconstructed signal, to construct an eigenvector with the complexity measure. Finally, the eigenvector is input to a support vector machine (SVM) to find the fault diagnosis results. The experimental results prove that the proposed method, with a better classification performance, can better solve the problem of the effective signal and noise mixed in high-frequency signals. Based on the proposed method, the fault types can be accurately identified with an average classification accuracy of 100%.
