In this paper, the gears fault signal in the engine was studied. Hilbert-Huang transform was applied for the gears fault signal analysis. From the experiment, the normal engine frequency of 240 Hz was got and the gears fault signal frequency concentrated in 2800 Hz. Through the study of intrinsic mode function and the Hilbert spectrum, improper meshing gears were the cause of this problem. The results showed that this method can effectively extract the fault feature and found out the cause of the problem. A new effective method is provided for the gears fault diagnosis.

In this paper, a new method of vibration signal analysis of coal and gangue based on Hilbert-Huang transform is presented. Empirical mode decomposition algorithm was used to decompose the original vibration signal of coal and gangue into the intrinsic modes for further extract useful information contained in response signals under complicated environment. By analyzing local Hilbert marginal spectrum and local energy spectrum of the first four intrinsic mode function components, we found the difference of coal and rock in specific frequency interval that the amplitude and energy mainly distributed at frequency interval between 100Hz and 600Hz when coal was drawn, while the amplitude and energy were more concentrated at 1000Hz or so when gangue was drawn. Furthermore, the further analysis result from marginal spectrum of each intrinsic mode function component agreed well with the conclusion above. So the extracted features with the propose approach can be served as coal and gangue interface recognition.

Gearbox is vital components in a wide range of industrial and transport applications. It is very important how to monitor operating state of automobile gearbox and detect incipient faults. This paper applies the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and Hilbert spectrum methods to gearbox vibration signal analysis capture from vibrating acceleration sensor for gearbox fault diagnosis. The original modulation fault vibration signals are firstly decomposed into a number of intrinsic mode function (IMF) by the EMD method. Then Hilbert spectrum of intrinsic mode function at different fault characteristic frequencies is obtained by Hilbert transform. Finally, the time-frequency fault characteristics of gearbox are analyzed by the Hilbert spectrum value of intrinsic mode function. Experiment result has shown the feasibility and efficiency of the EMD algorithms and Hilbert spectrum characteristic method in fault diagnosis and fault message abstraction.

Effective intelligent fault diagnosis of bearings is important for improving safety and reliability of machine. Benefiting from the training advantages, deep learning method can automatically and adaptively learn more abstract and high-level features without much priori knowledge. To realize representative features mining and automatic recognition of bearing health condition, a diagnostic model of stacked sparse denoising autoencoder (SSDAE) which combines sparse autoencoder (SAE) and denoising autoencoder (DAE) is proposed in this paper. The sparse criterion in SAE, corrupting operation in DAE and reasonable designing of the stack order of autoencoders help to mine essential information of the input and improve fault pattern classification robustness. In order to provide better input features for the constructed network, the raw non-stationary and nonlinear vibration signals are processed with ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and multiscale permutation entropy (MPE). MPE features which are extracted based on both the selected characteristic frequency-related intrinsic mode function components (IMFs) and the raw signal, are used as low-level feature for the input of the proposed diagnostic model for health condition recognition and classification. Two experiments based on the Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) dataset and the measurement dataset from laboratory were conducted, and results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and highlight its excellent performance relative to existing methods.

In the absence of a priori knowledge, manual feature selection is too blind to find the sensitive features which can effectively classify the different fault features. And it is difficult to obtain a large number of typical fault samples in practice to train the intelligent classifier. A novel intelligent fault diagnosis method based on feature selection and deep learning is proposed for rotating machine mechanical in the paper. In this method, the deep neural network is not only used for feature extraction but also for fault diagnosis. First, the deep neural network 1 is used to extract feature from the spectral signal of the original signal. In addition, the original vibration signal is decomposed to a series of intrinsic mode function components by empirical mode decomposition, and the statistical features of each intrinsic mode function component are extracted by the deep neural network 2 in time domain and frequency domain. Second, the extraction features of the original signal spectrum and the extraction features of each intrinsic mode function component are evaluated, respectively. After features evaluation, the selected sensitive features are combined together to construct a joint feature. Finally, the joint feature is put into the deep neural network 3 to realize the automatic recognition of different fault states of rotating machinery. The experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper which integrated time-domain, frequency-domain statistical characteristics, empirical mode decomposition, feature selection, and deep learning methods can obtain the fault information in detail and can select sensitive features from a large number of fault features. The method can reduce the network size, improve the mechanical fault diagnosis classification accuracy, and has strong robustness.

In order to monitor the operation state and implement fault diagnosis of rolling bearing in rotating machinery, this paper presents a method of fault diagnosis of rolling bearing, which is based on EMD and resonance demodulation. Using EMD to decompose the signal, which comes from QPZZ-II experimental station, the components of intrinsic mode function (IMF) will be obtained. Then, calculating the correlation coefficient of each IMF component, the highest correlation coefficient of IMF component will be analyzed by resonance demodulation. Finally, the experimental results show that the method can accurately identify and diagnose the running state and bearing fault type.

This work proposes a feature extraction method from Hilbert–Huang-transform- or HHT-based data analysis of built-in test (BIT) signals, which are sampled on-site and without reference signals for fault diagnosis. The proposed method fully utilizes self-adaptation of the HHT method in characterizing the envelope amplitude and instantaneous frequency for the intrinsic mode function (IMF), so as to single out the features with most irregular characteristics. Simulations are carried out on steering gear feedback voltage signal of target drone aircraft, and the extracted features show great potential for the improvement in built-in fault diagnosis.
