A Feature Extraction Method of Gear Fault Based on the SVD EMD and Morphology
In order to extract the weak signal from strong background signal characteristics, a feature extraction method combined of the singular value decomposition (SVD), empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and mathematical morphology was proposed. The signal got through the singular value decomposition first. Next took the average value of the decomposed main components. And carried on the empirical mode decomposition and selected the main component to summate and refactor. Then morphological difference filter was used to extract the frequency characteristics of the fault signal. The results of numerical simulation test and gear fault simulation experiments show that the proposed method can clearly extract the frequency characteristics of weak signal from strong background signal and noise. Comparison has been done with the results of singular value decomposition (SVD) and morphological filtering method and empirical mode decomposition form of filtering method. It proves the effectiveness of the proposed method.
