Focus on the nonlinear and non-stationary characteristics of gear box vibration signal, the method of gear fault diagnosis based on Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) and multiscale entropy (MSE) was proposed . The complicated signal can be decomposed into several stationary IMF components with reality meanings by EEMD which has the advantages of eliminating aliasing state of vibration signal, and the MSE can extract the fault feature from the signals effectively. The concepts of EEMD and MSE are introduced firstly, and then they are applied to measure the complexity of gearbox signals. Through the engineering application of the diagnosis on gear typical fault of different wearing degree demonstrated that the proposed method can extracting the fault feature of gear fault effectively and realize the gear fault diagnosis.

Gear is the most common mechanical transmission equipment. Therefore, gear fault diagnosis is of much significance. In this article, a gear fault diagnosis method based on the integration of empirical mode decomposition and cepstrum is proposed by introducing empirical mode decomposition and cepstrum into gear fault analysis. Firstly EMD is used to decompose the gear vibration signal finite number of intrinsic mode functions and a residual error item. To do gear fault diagnosis, cepstrum analysis is carried upon those intrinsic mode functions to extract feature information from the vibration signal. The results of the study on simulated and experimental signals show that this method is better than the cepstrum method and it can precisely locate the site of gear failure.

Condition monitoring and fault diagnosis for rolling element bearings is an imperative part for preventive maintenance procedures and reliability improvement of rotating machines. When a localized fault occurs at the early stage of real bearing failures, the impulses generated by the defect are relatively weak and usually overwhelmed by large noise and other higher-level macro-structural vibrations generated by adjacent machine components and machines. To indicate the bearing faulty state as early as possible, it is necessary to develop an effective signal processing method for extracting the weak bearing signal from a vibration signal containing multiple vibration sources. The ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) method inherits the advantage of the popular empirical mode decomposition (EMD) method and can adaptively decompose a multi-component signal into a number of different bands of simple signal components. However, the energy dispersion and many redundant components make the decomposition result obtained by the EEMD losing the physical significance. In this paper, to enhance the decomposition performance of the EEMD method, the similarity criterion and the corresponding combination technique are proposed to determine the similar signal components and then generate the real mono-component signals. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, it is applied to analyze raw vibration signals collected from two faulty bearings, each of which involves more than one vibration sources. The results demonstrate that the proposed method can accurately extract the bearing feature signal; meanwhile, it makes the physical meaning of each IMF clear.

A new method on fault diagnosis for gear based on ensemble empirical mode decomposition and slice bi-spectrum is proposed. Firstly, fault signal was decomposed into a series of intrinsic mode function components of different frequency bands by EEMD, and then calculated the envelope signal of IMF component by Hilbert demodulation method. Finally, analyzed the envelope signal by slice bi-spectrum and extracted the fault characteristic frequency. The anti-alias decomposition capacity of EEMD and capabilities of noise suppression and non-quadratic phase coupling harmonic components elimination of slice bi-spectrum were verified by analyzing the simulation signal. The analysis results of gear pitting failure signal and gear wear fault signal showed that this method could judge gear fault type accurately and has a certainly degree reliability.

The gear fault signal has some defects such as nonstationary nonlinearity. In order to increase the operating life of the gear, the gear operation is monitored. A gear fault diagnosis method based on variational mode decomposition (VMD) sample entropy and discrete Hopfield neural network (DHNN) is proposed. Firstly, the optimal VMD decomposition number is selected by the instantaneous frequency mean value. Then, the sample entropy value of each intrinsic mode function (IMF) is extracted to form the gear feature vectors. The gear feature vectors are coded and used as the memory prototype and memory starting point of DHNN, respectively. Finally, the coding vector is input into DHNN to realize fault pattern recognition. The newly defined coding rules have a significant impact on the accuracy of gear fault diagnosis. Driven by self-associative memory, the coding of gear fault is accurately classified by DHNN. The superiority of the VMD-DHNN method in gear fault diagnosis is verified by comparing with an advanced signal processing algorithm. The results show that the accuracy based on VMD sample entropy and DHNN is 91.67% of the gear fault diagnosis method. The experimental results show that the VMD method is better than the complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) and empirical mode decomposition (EMD), and the effect of it in the diagnosis of gear fault diagnosis is emphasized.

An adaptive stochastic resonance and analytical mode decomposition-ensemble empirical mode decomposition (AMD-EEMD) method is proposed for fault diagnosis of rotating machinery in this paper. Firstly, the stochastic resonance system is optimized by particle swarm optimization (PSO), and the best structure parameters are obtained. Then, the signal with noise is put into the stochastic resonance system and denoising and enhancing the signal. Secondly, the signal output from the stochastic resonance system is extracted by analytical mode decomposition (AMD) method. Finally, the signal is decomposed by ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) method. The simulation results show that the optimal stochastic resonance system can effectively improve the signal-to-noise ratio, and the number of effective components of EEMD decomposition is significantly reduced after using AMD, thus improving the decomposition results of EEMD and enhancing the amplitude of components frequency. Through the extraction of the rolling bearing fault signal feature proved that the method has a good effect.

Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) is a new noise-assisted data analysis (NADA) method. The effect of EEMD depends on two key parameters which are the amplitude of white noise and the ensemble times. However, the shortcoming of EEMD is that it lacks adaptability and reliability because these two key important parameters are obtained by experience and human intervention. An Improved Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition method is proposed in this paper, by adding white noise and ascertaining ensemble number adaptively. The criterion of adding white noise in Improved EEMD is established, by which a composite simulation signal could be adaptively and accurately decomposed into IMFs without mode mixing. The proposed method is applied to a gear fault detection of hot strip finishing mills. The result shows that Improved EEMD method successfully extracts the gear fault feature with high precise diagnosis results.
