As a multichannel signal processing method based on data-driven, multivariate empirical mode decomposition (MEMD) has attracted much attention due to its potential ability in self-adaption and multi-scale decomposition for multivariate data. Commonly, the uniform projection scheme on a hypersphere is used to estimate the local mean. However, the unbalanced data distribution in high-dimensional space often conflicts with the uniform samples and its performance is sensitive to the noise components. Considering the common fact that the vibration signal is generated by three sensors located in different measuring positions in the domain of the structural health monitoring for the key equipment, thus a novel trivariate empirical mode decomposition via convex optimization was proposed for rolling bearing condition identification in this paper. For the trivariate data matrix, the low-rank matrix approximation via convex optimization was firstly conducted to achieve the denoising. It is worthy to note that the non-convex penalty function as a regularization term is introduced to enhance the performance. Moreover, the non-uniform sample scheme was determined by applying singular value decomposition (SVD) to the obtained low-rank trivariate data and then the approach used in conventional MEMD algorithm was employed to estimate the local mean. Numerical examples of synthetic defined by the fault model and real data generated by the fault rolling bearing on the experimental bench are provided to demonstrate the fruitful applications of the proposed method.

Aiming at the problem of difficulties in modeling the nonlinear relation in the steam coal dataset, this article proposes a forecasting method for the price of steam coal based on robust regularized kernel regression and empirical mode decomposition. By selecting the polynomial kernel function, the robust loss function and L2 regular term to construct a robust regularized kernel regression model are used. The polynomial kernel function does not depend on the kernel parameters and can mine the global rules in the dataset so that improves the forecasting stability of the kernel model. This method maps the features to the high-dimensional space by using the polynomial kernel function to transform the nonlinear law in the original feature space into linear law in the high-dimensional space and helps learn the linear law in the high-dimensional feature space by using the linear model. The Huber loss function is selected to reduce the influence of abnormal noise in the dataset on the model performance, and the L2 regular term is used to reduce the risk of model overfitting. We use the combined model based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and auto regressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model to compensate for the error of robust regularized kernel regression model, thus making up for the limitations of the single forecasting model. Finally, we use the steam coal dataset to verify the proposed model and such model has an optimal evaluation index value compared to other contrast models after the model performance is evaluated as per the evaluation index such as RMSE, MAE, and mean absolute percentage error.

In order to improve the effectiveness for identifying rolling bearing faults at an early stage, the present paper proposed a method that combined the so-called complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD) method with a correlation theory for fault diagnosis of rolling element bearing. The cross-correlation coefficient between the original signal and each intrinsic mode function (IMF) was calculated in order to reduce noise and select an effective IMF. Using the present method, a rolling bearing fault experiment with vibration signals measured by acceleration sensors was carried out, and bearing inner race and outer race defect at a varying rotating speed with different degrees of defect were analyzed. And the proposed method was compared with several algorithms of empirical mode decomposition (EMD) to verify its effectiveness. Experimental results showed that the proposed method was available for detecting the bearing faults and able to detect the fault at an early stage. It has higher computational efficiency and is capable of overcoming modal mixing and aliasing. Therefore, the proposed method is more suitable for rolling bearing diagnosis.

In order to solve the problem of the faulted rolling bearing signal getting easily affected by Gaussian noise, a new fault diagnosis method was proposed based on empirical mode decomposition and high-order statistics. Firstly, the vibration signal was decomposed by empirical mode decomposition and the correlation coefficient of each intrinsic mode function was calculated. These intrinsic mode function components, which have a big correlation coefficient, were selected to estimate its higher order spectrum. Then based on the higher order statistics theory, this method uses higher order spectrum of each intrinsic mode function to reconstruct its power spectrum. And these power spectrums were summed to obtain the primary power spectrum of bearing signal. Finally, fault feature information was extracted from the reconstructed power spectrum. A model, using higher order spectrum to reconstruct power spectrum, was established. Meanwhile, analysis was conducted by using the simulated data and the recorded vibration signals which include inner race, out race, and bearing ball fault signal. Results show that the presented method is superior to traditional power spectrum method in suppressing Gaussian noise and its resolution is higher. New method can extract more useful information compared to the traditional method.

Measured vibration signals from rolling element bearings with defects are generally nonstationary, and are multiscale in nature owing to contributions from events with different localization in time and frequency. This paper presents a novel approach to characterize the multiscale signature via empirical mode decomposition (EMD) for rolling bearing localized defect evaluation. Vibration signal measured from a rolling element bearing is first adaptively decomposed by the EMD to achieve a series of usable intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) carrying the bearing health information at multiple scales. Then the localized defect-induced IMF is selected from all the IMFs based on a variance regression approach. The multiscale signature, called multiscale slope feature, is finally estimated from the regression line fitted over logarithmic variances of the IMFs excluding the defect IMF. The presented feature reveals the pattern of energy transfer among multiple scales due to localized defects, representing an inherent self-similar signature of the bearing health information that is embedded on multiple analyzed scales. Experimental results verify the performance of the proposed multiscale feature, and further discussions are provided.
