During the operation of rotating machinery, the vibration signals measured by sensors are the aliasing signals of various vibration sources, and they contain strong noises. Conventional signal processing methods have difficulty separating the aliasing signals, which causes great difficulties in the condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of the equipment. The principle and method of blind source separation are introduced, and it is pointed out that the blind source separation algorithm is invalid in strong pulse noise environments. In these environments, the vibration signals are first de-noised with the median filter (MF) method and the de-noised signals are separated with an improved joint approximate diagonalization of eigenmatrices (JADE) algorithm. The simulation results found here verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. Finally, the vibration signal of the hybrid rotor is effectively separated by the proposed method. A new separation approach is thus provided for vibration signals in strong pulse noise environments.

Feature extraction plays a crucial role in the diagnosis of rotating machinery faults. However, the vibration signals measured are inherently complex and non-stationary and the features of faulty signals are often submerged by noise. The principle and method of blind source separation are introduced, and we point out that the blind source separation algorithm is invalid in an environment of strong impulse noise. In order to solve the problem of fast separation of multi-sensor signals in an environment of strong impulse noise, first, the window width of the median filter (MF) is calculated according to the sampling frequency, so that the impulse noise and part of the white noise can be effectively filtered out. Next, the filtered signals are separated by the improved second-order blind identification (SOBI) algorithm. At the same time, the method is tested on the strong pulse background noise and rub impact dataset. The results show that this method has higher efficiency and accuracy than the direct separation method. It is possible to apply the method to real-time signal analysis due to its speed and efficiency.

Mining machines are strongly nonlinear systems, and their transmission vibration signals are nonlinear mixtures of different kinds of vibration sources. In addition, vibration signals measured by the accelerometer are contaminated by noise. As a result, it is inefficient and ineffective for the blind source separation (BSS) algorithm to separate the critical independent sources associated with the transmission fault vibrations. For this reason, a new method based on wavelet de-noising and nonlinear independent component analysis (ICA) is presented in this paper to tackle the nonlinear BSS problem with additive noise. The wavelet de-noising approach was first employed to eliminate the influence of the additive noise in the BSS procedure. Then, the radial basis function (RBF) neural network combined with the linear ICA was applied to the de-noised vibration signals. Vibration sources involved with the machine faults were separated. Subsequently, wavelet package decomposition (WPD) was used to extract distinct fault features from the source signals. Lastly, an RBF classifier was used to recognize the fault patterns. Field data acquired from a mining machine was used to evaluate and validate the proposed diagnostic method. The experimental analysis results show that critical fault vibration source component can be separated by the proposed method, and the fault detection rate is superior to the linear ICA based approaches.

The effectiveness of separation and identification of mechanical signals vibrations is crucial to successful fault diagnosis in the condition monitoring and diagnosis of complex machines.Aeroengine vibration signals always include many complicated components, blind source separation (BSS) provides a efficient way to separate the independent component.In order to get the most effective algorithm of vibration signal separation,experiment has been done to acquire plenty of multi-mixed rotor vibration signals,three sets of vibration data generated from aeroengine rotating shafts were separated from the synthetic vibration signal. The results prove that blind source separation is effective and can be applied for vibration signal processing and fault diagnosis of aeroengine.

The nonlinear blind source separation is a practical and effective method in processing mechanical vibration signal, but it has the limitation which learning rate is fixed. It will take a long time for iterative parameters to get convergence. In this paper, a variable rate nonlinear BSS is proposed. The learning rate of the algorithm is adjusted based on iterative error in the different stopping iterating time and inverse proportion. The proposed algorithm increasing the efficiency of the nonlinear BSS and de-noising the vibration signals. Experiment on gears shows that the signal gained by the method more impersonality represents the gear condition

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.

Vibration based machine fault diagnosis is widely adopted in machine condition monitoring. Since a machine is usually composed of many mechanical components, during the machine running, each component will generate its vibration and transmit to other components thru the shaft or linkages. Hence, the vibration signal collected from a sensor is the aggregation of all generated vibrations. To enhance the accuracy in vibration based machine fault diagnosis, the vibration generated by each component must be isolated and identified. In this paper, the performance of blind-source-separation (BSS) in separating various mixed sources is discussed. The BSS based method of second order statistics (SOS) has been applied to separate the aggregated vibration signals generated from a number of mechanical components. To verify the effectiveness of the BSS based SOS, a number of experiments were conducted using both simulated data and vibration generated form the industrial machines. The results show that the BSS possesses the ability to separate both artificially and naturally mixed signals. Such ability is definitely welcome in the fields of condition monitoring and maintenance. Moreover, the paper also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the algorithm in the applications of machine fault diagnosis and future improvements.

Tool breakage monitoring is crucial to automation fabrication, especially for high-density hole machining, such as PCB (Printed Circuit Board). A tool breakage feature extraction method in PCB micro-hole drilling is presented in this paper. The vibration signal is analyzed by wavelet transform. The decomposed signals energy ratio at each frequency band is computed as monitoring features. The monitoring performance of different features selection is given. The vibration signals are observed to provide the capability in distinguishing micro drill breakage with proper features extraction and classifier design.
