A method to extract rolling element fault characteristics from fault signal, based on local mean decomposition (LMD) and Fourier transform (FT), is introduced in this study. The LMD’s characteristics are obtained by processing multi-component frequency and amplitude modulation signal, which are usually used to describe the bearing fault signals. Base on the simulation analysis, the envelope spectrum method called LMD-FT is presented to deal with the vibration signals of rolling balling bearing with element fault. The results show that the rolling element defect can be diagnosed by LMD-FT effectively

The local mean decomposition (LMD), a new adaptive time-frequency analysis method, is the research focus in the fault diagnosis field in recent years. In this paper, the LMD’s characteristics are obtained by processing multi-component frequency and amplitude modulation signal, which are usually used to describe the gear pitting corrosion fault signals. Base on the simulation analysis, LMD is presented to deal with the vibration signals of gear pitting corrosion fault, comparing with traditional method. The results show that the gear pitting corrosion defect can be diagnosed by LMD effectively, and LMD can eliminate the false composition effect, thus improving the accuracy of gear fault diagnosis.

In present paper, the effectiveness of local mean decomposition (LMD) method to signals of fault gears, which are multi-component amplitude modulated and frequency modulated, is demonstrated. A series of tests on wearing and broken tooth of gears are conducted. And the fault characteristics extracted by Fourier transform, Hilbert transform and LMD are compared. The results validate that LMD method is an effective way to extract the characteristics of fault gears and improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis of gears since it is able to reduce effect of false components.

Local mean decomposition(LMD),which is a new time-frequency method, can decompose a complex multicomponent modulation signal into a linear combination of a finite set of mono-component modulation signals. LMD integrates two signal processing procedures: decomposition and demodulation, and it can extract modulation feature efficiently. The basic theory and algorithm of LMD is introduced, and the effection of LMD is verified trough simulation. LMD is applied in gearbox fault diagnosis and successfully extracts modulation feature.

A novel method of bearing fault diagnosis based on local mean decomposition (LMD) is proposed. LMD method is self-adaptive to non-stationary and non-linear signal. LMD can adaptively decompose the vibration signal into a series of product functions (PFs), which is the product of an envelope signal and a frequency modulated signal. Then the envelope spectrum is applied to the selected product function that stands for the bearing faults. Therefore, the character of the bearing fault can be recognized according to the envelope spectrum of product function. The experimental results show that local mean decomposition based envelope spectrum can effectively detect and diagnose bearing inner and outer race fault under strong background noise condition.

An optimization method for an ensemble local mean decomposition (ELMD) parameters selection using genetic algorithms is proposed. The execution of this technique depends heavily on the correct choice of the parameters of its model as pointed out in previous works. The effectiveness of the proposed method was evaluated using synthetic signals, discussed by several authors. The resulting algorithm obtained similar results to OELMD, but with an 82% reduction in processing time. Actual vibration signals were also analysed, presenting satisfactory results.

This paper presents a novel intelligent method based on local mean decomposition and multi-class reproducing wavelet support vector machines (RWSVMs), which are applied to detect leakage in natural gas pipelines. First, local mean decomposition is used to construct product function components to decompose the leakage signals. Then, we select the leakage signals which contain the most leakage information, according to the kurtosis features of these signals, through principal component analysis. Next, we reconstruct the principal product function components in order to acquire the envelope spectrum. Finally, we confirm the leak aperture by inputting envelope spectrum entropy features, as feature vectors, into the RWSVMs. Through analysing the pipeline leakage signals, the experiments show that this method can effectively identify different leak categories.
