Condition monitoring is used to track the unavoidable phases of rolling element bearings in an induction motor (IM) to ensure reliable operation in domestic and industrial machinery. The convolutional neural network (CNN) has been used as an effective tool to recognize and classify multiple rolling bearing faults in recent times. Due to the nonlinear and nonstationary nature of vibration signals, it is quite difficult to achieve high classification accuracy when directly using the original signal as the input of a convolution neural network. To evaluate the fault characteristics, ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) is implemented to decompose the signal into multiple intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) in this work. Then, based on the kurtosis value, insignificant IMFs are filtered out and the original signal is reconstructed with the rest of the IMFs so that the reconstructed signal contains the fault characteristics. After that, the 1-D reconstructed vibration signal is converted into a 2-D image using a continuous wavelet transform with information from the damage frequency band. This also transfers the signal into a time-frequency domain and reduces the nonstationary effects of the vibration signal. Finally, the generated images of various fault conditions, which possess a discriminative pattern relative to the types of faults, are used to train an appropriate CNN model. Additionally, with the reconstructed signal, two different methods are used to create an image to compare with our proposed image creation approach. The vibration signal is collected from a self-designed testbed containing multiple bearings of different fault conditions. Two other conventional CNN architectures are compared with our proposed model. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that the image generated with fault signatures not only accurately classifies multiple faults with CNN but can also be considered as a reliable and stable method for the diagnosis of fault bearings.

Local faults in a gearbox cause impacts and the collected vibration signal is often non-stationary. Identification of impulses within the non-stationary vibration signal is key to fault detection. Recently, the technique of Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) was proposed as a new tool for analysis of non-stationary signal. EMD is a time series analysis method that extracts a custom set of bases that reflects the characteristic response of a system. The Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) within the original data can be obtained through EMD. We expect that the change in the amplitude of the special IMF’s envelope spectrum will become larger when fault impulses are present. Based on this idea, we propose a new fault detection method that combines EMD with Hilbert transform. The proposed method is compared with both the Hilbert-Huang transform and the wavelet transform using simulated signal and real signal collected from a gearbox. The results obtained show that the proposed method is effective in capturing the hidden fault impulses.

A method based on OEMD (Orthogonal Empirical Mode Decomposition) and the theory of time-frequency entropy was applied to detect different rail fastener conditions. The original vertical vibration acceleration response of rail under different fastening conditions was obtained from outdoor experiment. The OEMD method was used to get orthogonal IMFs (Intrinsic Mode Functions) of the original vibration signal. The Hilbert time-frequency spectrum was then obtained based on the orthogonal IMFs and corresponding entropy was calculated and compared. The results show that the method is available to detect different rail fastener conditions.

Aiming at the problem that the weak features of non-stationary vibration signals are difficult to extract under strong background noise, a multi-layer noise reduction method based on ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) is proposed. First, the original vibration signal is decomposed by EEMD, and the main intrinsic modal components (IMF) are selected using comprehensive evaluation indicators; the second layer of filtering uses wavelet threshold denoising (WTD) to process the main IMF components. Finally, the virtual noise channel is introduced, and FastICA is used to de-noise and unmix the IMF components processed by the WTD. Next, perform spectral analysis on the separated useful signals to highlight the fault frequency. The feasibility of the proposed method is verified by simulation, and it is applied to the extraction of weak signals of faulty bearings and worn polycrystalline diamond compact bits. The analysis of vibration signals shows that this method can efficiently extract weak fault characteristic information of rotating machinery.

In this article, multivariate empirical mode decomposition is proposed for damage localization in structures using limited measurements. Multivariate empirical mode decomposition is first used to decompose the acceleration responses into their mono-component modal responses. The major contributing modal responses are then used to evaluate the modal energy for the respective modes. A damage localization feature is proposed by calculating the percentage difference in the modal energies of damaged and undamaged structures, followed by the determination of the threshold value of the feature. The feature of the specific sensor location exceeding the threshold value is finally used to identify the location of structural damage. The proposed method is validated using a suite of numerical and full-scale studies. The validation is further explored using various limited measurement cases for evaluating the feasibility of using a fewer number of sensors to enable cost-effective structural health monitoring. The results show the capability of the proposed method in identifying as minimal as 2% change in global modal parameters of structures, outperforming the existing time–frequency methods to delineate such minor global damage.

AbstractObjectivesThe phase characteristics of the representative frequency components of the Electroencephalogram (EEG) can be a means of understanding the brain functions of human senses and perception. In this paper, we found out that visual evoked potential (VEP) is composed of the dominant multi-band component signals of the EEG through the experiment.MethodsWe analyzed the characteristics of VEP based on the theory that brain evoked potentials can be decomposed into phase synchronized signals. In order to decompose the EEG signal into across each frequency component signals, we extracted the signals in the time-frequency domain with high resolution using the empirical mode decomposition method. We applied the Hilbert transform (HT) to extract the signal and synthesized it into a frequency band signal representing VEP components. VEP could be decomposed into phase synchronized δ, θ, α, and β frequency signals. We investigated the features of visual brain function by analyzing the amplitude and latency of the decomposed signals in phase synchronized with the VEP and the phase-locking value (PLV) between brain regions.ResultsIn response to visual stimulation, PLV values were higher in the posterior lobe region than in the anterior lobe. In the occipital region, the PLV value of theta band was observed high.ConclusionsThe VEP signals decomposed into constituent frequency components through phase analysis can be used as a method of analyzing the relationship between activated signals and brain function related to visual stimuli.

To detect and recognize any type of events over the perimeter security system, this article proposes a fiber-optic vibration pattern recognition method based on the combination of time-domain features and time-frequency domain features. The performance parameters (event recognition, event location, and event classification) are very important and describe the validity of this article. The pattern recognition method is precisely based on the empirical mode decomposition of time-frequency entropy and center-of-gravity frequency. It implements the function of identifying and classifying the event (intrusions or non-intrusion) over the perimeter to secure. To achieve this method, the first-level prejudgment is performed according to the time-domain features of the vibration signal, and the second-level prediction is carried out through time-frequency analysis. The time-frequency distribution of the signal is obtained by empirical mode decomposition and Hilbert transform and then the time-frequency entropy and center-of-gravity frequency are used to form the time-frequency domain features, that is, combined with the time-domain features to form feature vectors. Multiple types of probabilistic neural networks are identified to determine whether there are intrusions and the intrusion types. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is effective and reliable in identifying and classifying the type of event.

Considering the lack of precision in transforming measured micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) accelerometer output signals into elevation signals, this paper proposes a bridge dynamic displacement reconstruction method based on the combination of ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and time domain integration, according to the vibration signal traits of a bridge. Through simulating bridge analog signals and verifying a vibration test bench, four bridge dynamic displacement monitoring methods were analyzed and compared. The proposed method can effectively eliminate the influence of low-frequency integral drift and high-frequency ambient noise on the integration process. Furthermore, this algorithm has better adaptability and robustness. The effectiveness of the method was verified by field experiments on highway elevated bridges.
