There is very rich fault information in vibration signals of rotating machineries. The real vibration signals are nonlinear, non-stationary and time-varying signals mixed with many other factors. It is very useful for fault diagnosis to extract fault features by using time-frequency analysis techniques. Recent researches of time-frequency analysis methods including Short Time Fourier Transform, Wavelet Transform, Wigner-Ville Distribution, Hilbert-Huang Transform, Local Mean Decomposition, and Local Characteristic-scale Decomposition are introduced. The theories, properties, physical significance and applications, advantages and disadvantages of these methods are analyzed and compared. It is pointed that algorithms improvement and combined applications of time-frequency analysis methods should be researched in the future.

The stationarity test of vibration signals is critical for the extraction of the signal features. In this article, the surrogate data with various time–frequency analysis methods are proposed for stationary test of vibration signals. The surrogate data are first generated from the Fourier spectrum of the original signal with keeping the magnitude of the spectrum unchanged and replacing its phase by a random sequence. The local and global spectra of the original signal and the surrogate data are then estimated by four time–frequency analysis methods, which are short-time Fourier transform, multitaper spectrograms, wavelet transform, and S-transform methods. The index of nonstationarity is then defined based on the distances between the local and global spectra. Three kinds of synthetic signals, which are stationary signals, frequency-modulated signals, and amplitude-modulated signals, are tested to compare the efficiency of the four time–frequency analysis methods as mentioned. The results show that with a certain observation scale value, the index of nonstationarity based on the short-time Fourier transform or wavelet transform method may fail to test the stationarity of the signal. The parametric studies and sensitivity analysis of the observation scale and noise-level effect are also extensively conducted. The results show that the index of nonstationarity calculated using the multitaper spectrograms’ method is more suitable for stationarity test of frequency-modulated signals, while the index of nonstationarity calculated using the S-transform method is more suitable for stationarity test of amplitude-modulated signals. The results also show that the noise has a significant effect on the stationarity test results. Finally, the stationarity of a real vibration signal measured from a cable is tested, and the results show that the proposed index of nonstationarity can effectively test the stationarity of real vibration signals.

Sea is rich in oil and gas resources, the marine controlled source electromagnetic method (CSEM) is a kind of method seabed oil gas geophysical technology rising in recent years. Because of the problem of CSEM about the air wave in the shallow water, the research of time-frequnecy analysis technique is used to suppress the air wave in this paper. The basic idea is: because of the CSEM signals speed are different in the air and submarine, so the time which received by the receiving points are also different through these two kinds of ways. Using the time-frequency analysis technique and theoretical calculation, we can determine which part of the signal is spread over the ocean, so as to suppress the air wave effectively. This paper lists several methods of time-frequency analysis, such as Short-time Fourier transform, W-V distribution, Wavelet transform, Hilbert Huang transform. Through the time-frequency graph,we get the conclusion that HHT is better than others in concentration degree,and W-V distribution is better than STFT.Compared with the original signal, the time-frequency graph is the best in using Smooth Puseudo W-V Distribution.I have a detailed analysis about real case in using SPWVD at last.

Rolling bearings are important components of rotating machines. For their preventive maintenance, it is not enough to know whether there is any fault or the fault type. For an effective maintenance, a fault severity monitoring needs to be conducted. Currently, the bearing fault diagnosis method based on time–frequency image (TFI) recognition is attracting increasing attention. This paper contributes to the ongoing investigation by proposing a new approach for the fault severity monitoring of rolling bearings based on the texture feature extraction of sparse TFIs. The first and main step is to obtain accurate TFIs from the vibration signals of rolling bearings. Traditional time–frequency analysis methods have disadvantages such as low resolution and cross-term interference. Therefore, the TFIs obtained cannot satisfactorily express the time–frequency characteristics of bearing vibration signals. To solve this problem, a sparse time–frequency analysis method based on the first-order primal-dual algorithm (STFA-PD) was developed in this paper. Unlike traditional time–frequency analysis methods, the time–frequency analysis model of the STFA-PD method is based on the theory of sparse representation, and is solved using the first-order primal-dual algorithm. For employing the sparse constraint in the frequency domain, the STFA-PD obtains a higher time–frequency resolution and is free from cross-term interference, as the model is based on a linear time–frequency analysis method. The gray level co-occurrence matrix is then employed to extract texture features from the sparse TFIs as input features for classifiers. Vibration signals of rolling bearings with different fault severity degrees are used to validate the proposed approach. The experimental results show that the developed STFA-PD outperforms traditional time–frequency analysis methods in terms of the accuracy and effectiveness for the fault severity monitoring of rolling bearings.
