The goal of the paper is to present a solution to improve the fault detection accuracy of rolling bearings. The method is based on variational mode decomposition (VMD), multiscale permutation entropy (MPE) and the particle swarm optimization-based support vector machine (PSO-SVM). Firstly, the original bearing vibration signal is decomposed into several intrinsic mode functions (IMF) by using the VMD method, and the feature energy ratio (FER) criterion is introduced to reconstruct the bearing vibration signal. Secondly, the multiscale permutation entropy of the reconstructed signal is calculated to construct multidimensional feature vectors. Finally, the constructed multidimensional feature vector is fed into the PSO-SVM classification model for automatic identification of different fault patterns of the rolling bearing. Two experimental cases are adopted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve a higher identification accuracy compared with some similar available methods (e.g., variational mode decomposition-based multiscale sample entropy (VMD-MSE), variational mode decomposition-based multiscale fuzzy entropy (VMD-MFE), empirical mode decomposition-based multiscale permutation entropy (EMD-MPE) and wavelet transform-based multiscale permutation entropy (WT-MPE)).

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.

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 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.

The nonlinear and nonstationary characteristics of vibration signal in mechanical equipment make fault identification difficult. To tackle this problem, this paper proposes a novel fault identification method based on improved variational mode decomposition (IVMD), multiscale permutation entropy (MPE), and adaptive GG clustering. Firstly, the original vibration signal is decomposed into a set of mode components adaptively by IVMD, and the mode components that are highly correlated with the original signal are selected to reconstruct the original signal. After that, the MPE values of the reconstructed signal are calculated as feature vectors which can differentiate machinery conditions. Finally, low-dimensional sensitive features obtained by principal component analysis (PCA) are fed into the adaptive GG clustering algorithm to perform fault identification. In this method, the residual energy ratio is used to find the optimal parameter K of the VMD and the PBMF function is incorporated into the GG to determine the number of clusters adaptively. Two bearing datasets are used to validate the performance of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method can effectively identify different fault types.

A gearbox vibration signal contains non-linear impact characteristics and the significant feature information tends to be overwhelmed by other interference components, which make it difficult to extract the typical fault features fully and effectively. Aiming at the key issue of how to effectively extract the impact characteristics, a fault diagnosis method based on improved extreme symmetric mode decomposition (ESMD) and a support vector machine (SVM) is proposed in this paper. The vibration signal is adaptively decomposed into multiple intrinsic mode function (IMF) components by the improved ESMD and then a certain number of components are selected with the maximum kurtosis-envelope spectrum index. The singular spectral entropy, energy entropy and permutation entropy of each component are applied to construct the feature vector set, in which the dimensionality of the set is reduced with the distance separability criterion. Finally, the dimension-reduced feature vector set is input into the SVM for pattern recognition. Dynamic simulation and experimental gearbox research show that the improved ESMD method can extract and identify gearbox fault information effectively.

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.

The traditional analytical method has difficulty in accurately modelling cutting chatter. This paper constructs the vibration datasets of different chatter states and establishes a machine learning (ML) model for chatter identification, treating physical vibration signal as the input. Specifically, the cutting vibration signal was converted into the time-frequency spectrum, which was then classified by a self-designed deep residual convolutional neural network (DR-CNN). After that, the cutting vibration signal was broken down into chatter bands through variational mode decomposition (VMD). The information entropies of the chatter bands were calculated as cutting chatter features. Next, support vector machine (SVM) was introduced to classify the extracted features and used to create an online cutting chatter identification algorithm. The proposed method achieved a much higher mean identification accuracy (92.57 %) than the traditional identification method.

Variational mode decomposition is a powerful signal processing technique that can adaptively decompose a multi-component signal into a number of modes, via solving an optimization problem. The optimal performance of this method in signal decomposition and avoiding of the mode mixing problem strictly relies on the true selection of decomposition parameters, that is, the number of extracted modes ( K) and the mode frequency bandwidth control parameter ( α). In the literature, the optimal values of these parameters are achieved by evaluating fault-related indices like kurtosis, but such an index is inefficient in judging the decomposition of healthy (without fault-related components), low-defective, and high-noise signals. In this research, a novel method called fine-tuned variational mode decomposition is proposed to determine the optimal values of decomposition parameters K and α, by judging the adaptive indices. In this proposed method, the optimal values of these parameters are obtained by minimizing the mean bandwidth of the extracted modes. In order to achieve these optimal values, the mean correlation coefficients between the adjacent modes and the energy loss coefficient between the original signal and the reconstructed signal, should not exceed of defined thresholds for optimal values. The proposed method is applied to the simulation signal and experimental ones collected from the automobile gearbox system. Comparing this method with those in the literature exhibits its higher effectiveness in the true decomposition of signals with different natures. It is also shown that using the proposed method for signal decomposition is able to correctly classify the healthy and defective states of the gearbox system alongside the principal component analysis method and support vector machine classifier.

This study presents a two-step fault diagnosis scheme combined with statistical classification and random forests-based classification for rolling element bearings. Considering the inequality of features sensitivity in different diagnosis steps, the proposed method utilizes permutation entropy and variational mode decomposition to depict vibration signals under single scale and multiscale. In the first step, the permutation entropy features on the single scale of original signals are extracted and the statistical classification model based on Chebyshev’s inequality is constructed to detect the faults with a preliminary acquaintance of the bearing condition. In the second step, vibration signals with fault conditions are firstly decomposed into a collection of intrinsic mode functions by using variational mode decomposition and then multiscale permutation entropy features derived from each mono-component are extracted to identify the specific fault types. In order to improve the classification ability of the characteristic data, the out-of-bag estimation of random forests is firstly employed to reelect and refine the original multiscale permutation entropy features. Then the refined features are considered as the input data to train the random forests-based classification model. Finally, the condition data of bearings with different fault conditions are employed to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. The results indicate that the proposed method can effectively identify the working conditions and fault types of rolling element bearings.
