As an essential part of the transmission system, gearboxes are considered as a major source of vibration. Signal identification of gear vibration is necessary for online monitoring of the mechanical systems. However, in engine-gearbox systems, the ignition impact of the engine is strong, so that the gear vibration is generally submerged. To overcome this issue, the resonance-based signal sparse decomposition (RSSD) method is used in this paper based on different oscillatory behaviors of the gear meshing impact and the engine ignition impact. To improve the accuracy of RSSD under interferences, the meshing frequency energy ratio (MF–ER) index is introduced into RSSD to adaptively choose the decomposition parameters. Before applying the RSSD method, the auto-regression (AR) model is used as a pre-whitening step to eliminate the normal gear meshing vibration, which improves the decomposition performance of RSSD. The effectiveness of the proposed AR-ORSSD (AR-based optimized RSSD) algorithm is tested using both simulated signals and measured vibration signals from an engine-gearbox system in a forklift. Comparisons were made with the RSSD algorithm based on a genetic algorithm. Experimental results indicate that the AR-ORSSD algorithm is superior at identifying gear vibration signals especially when under strong interferences.

The rolling element bearings used in rotating machinery generally include multiple coexisting defects. However, individual defect–induced signals of bearings simultaneously arising from multiple defects are difficult to extract from measured vibration signals because the impulse-like fault signals are very weak, and the vibration signal is commonly affected by the transmission path and various sources of interference. This issue is addressed in this study by proposing a new compound fault feature extraction scheme. Vibration signals are first preprocessed using resonance-based signal sparse decomposition to obtain the low-resonance component of the signal, which contains the information related to the transient fault–induced impulse signals, and reduce the interference of discrete harmonic signal components and noise. The objective used for adaptively selecting the optimal resonance-based signal sparse decomposition parameters adopts the ratio of permutation entropy to the frequency domain kurtosis, as a new comprehensive index, and the optimization is conducted using the cuckoo search algorithm. Subsequently, we apply multipoint sparsity to the low-resonance component to automatically determine the possible number of impulse signals and their periods according to the peak multipoint sparsity values. This enables the targeted extraction and isolation of fault-induced impulse signal features by multipoint optimal minimum entropy deconvolution adjustment. Finally, the envelope spectrum of the filtered signal is used to identify the individual faults. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is verified by its application to both simulated and experimental compound bearing fault vibration signals with strong interference, and its advantages are confirmed by comparisons of the results with those of an existing state-of-the-art method.

Recently, data with complex characteristics such as epilepsy electroencephalography (EEG) time series has emerged. Epilepsy EEG data has special characteristics including nonlinearity, nonnormality, and nonperiodicity. Therefore, it is important to find a suitable forecasting method that covers these special characteristics. In this paper, we propose a coercively adjusted autoregression (CA-AR) method that forecasts future values from a multivariable epilepsy EEG time series. We use the technique of random coefficients, which forcefully adjusts the coefficients with−1and 1. The fractal dimension is used to determine the order of the CA-AR model. We applied the CA-AR method reflecting special characteristics of data to forecast the future value of epilepsy EEG data. Experimental results show that when compared to previous methods, the proposed method can forecast faster and accurately.

The paper explores the cyclo-stationary properties of vibration signals for estimation of gearbox condition. The advantage of such approach may be clearly seen especially for so called multi-faults problem, i.e. for more than one faults that occurred in the system. In complex mechanical systems like multistage gearboxes, such situation may be often seen. Although this approach becomes more and more popular, it has been noticed that there is difficult to find examples highlighting its potential, especially for real industrial situations. In order to fill partially the gap, the paper deals with the multi fault detection in complex mechanical systems like multi-stage gearboxes: fixed axis and planetary. It has been discussed that during the operation in such machines many faults may appear simultaneously and the classical method like envelope analysis is difficult to use. The paper presents the use of cyclo-stationary properties of signals to identify and characterize sources of modulation. From Spectral Correlation Density Map or more precisely Spectral Coherence Map have been observed the number of sources with different properties of modulation. It is shown that the number of harmonics is important for a kind of fault extraction and interpretation. This approach has been applied to two, three and five stage gearboxes used in mining industry. Vibration signals received in industrial environment during normal operation of objects are considered. It has been also proposed the simple diagnostic feature to estimate the changes of condition with application to a planetary stage in a 5-stage gearbox.

The recognition of coal-rock interface in the top caving was investigated via the vibration signals of the tail beam of the hydraulic support. Wavelet packet transform was used to process the vibration signals. A newly feature based on wavelet packet energy spectrum was proposed to identify the coal-rock interface in top coal caving. The interface was determined by comparing the features in the two cases of coal dropping and rock dropping. The experimental results show that the energy proportion of vibration signal in high frequency bands when rock dropping is greater than that when coal dropping.

Accurately identifying faults in rolling bearing systems by analyzing vibration signals, which are often nonstationary, is challenging. To address this issue, a new approach based on complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD) and time series modeling is proposed in this paper. This approach seeks to identify faults appearing in a rolling bearing system using proper autoregressive (AR) model established from the nonstationary vibration signal. First, vibration signals measured from a rolling bearing test system with different defect conditions are decomposed into a set of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) by means of the CEEMD method. Second, vibration signals are filtered with calculated filtering parameters. Third, the IMF which is closely correlated to the filtered signal is selected according to the correlation coefficient between the filtered signal and each IMF, and then the AR model of the selected IMF is established. Subsequently, the AR model parameters are considered as the input feature vectors, and the hidden Markov model (HMM) is used to identify the fault pattern of a rolling bearing. Experimental study performed on a bearing test system has shown that the presented approach can accurately identify faults in rolling bearings.

This paper presents a new strategy in wind speed prediction based on AR model and wavelet transform.The model uses the adjacent data for short-term wind speed forecasting and the data of the same moment in earlier days for long-term wind speed prediction at that moment,taking the similarity of wind speed at the same moment every day into account.Using the new model to analyze the wind speed of An-xi,China in April,2010,this paper concludes that the model is effective for that the correlation coefficient between the predicted value and the original data is larger than 0.8 when the prediction is less than 48 hours;while the prediction time is long ahead (48-120h),the error is acceptable (within 40%),which demonstrates that the new method is a novel and good idea for prediction on wind speed.

On-line monitoring recognition for machining chatter is one of the key technologies in manufacturing. Based on the nonlinear chaotic control theory, the vibration signal discrete time series for on-line monitoring indicator is studed. As in chatter the chaotic dynamics process attractor dimension is reduced, the KolmogorovSinai entropy (K-S) index is extracted to reflected the regularity of workpiece chatter, then the k-S entropy is simplified by coarse - grained entropy rate (CER), which can easily evaluated as chatter online monitoring threshold value. The milling test shows that the CER have a sharp decline when chatter occurre, and can quickly and accurately forecast chatter.

Vibration measurement serves as the basis for various engineering practices such as natural frequency or resonant frequency estimation. As image acquisition devices become cheaper and faster, vibration measurement and frequency estimation through image sequence analysis continue to receive increasing attention. In the conventional photogrammetry and optical methods of frequency measurement, vibration signals are first extracted before implementing the vibration frequency analysis algorithm. In this work, we demonstrate that frequency prediction can be achieved using a single feed-forward convolutional neural network. The proposed method is verified using a vibration signal generator and excitation system, and the result compared with that of an industrial contact vibrometer in a real application. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve acceptable prediction accuracy even in unfavorable field conditions.
