This paper dealt with the gearbox fault diagnosis with vibration signal analysis. The vibration signals from experiment contained a lot of noises which result from motor, gears, bears and box, and were collected through accelerate sensor, data collector and computer. The wavelet de-noising stratification was used to de-noise the vibration signals before the frequency-domain analysis was done. The effects of the simulation signal de-noising was contrasted, and the noise cancellation the power spectrum estimation was carried out. The experimental and analytical results show that the different features are indicated with vibration signal of the normal gearbox and the signal with bolts loosened of the gearbox. The gearbox fault with bolts loosened can be diagnosed by extracting the time-domain fault features of vibration signals.

Vibration signal analysis has been proved as an effective tool for condition monitoring and fault diagnosis for rotating machines in the manufacturing process. The presence of the rub-impact fault in rotor systems results in vibration signals with fast-oscillating periodic instantaneous frequency (IF). In this paper, a novel method for rotor rub-impact fault diagnosis based on nonlinear squeezing time-frequency (TF) transform (NSquTFT) is proposed. First, a dynamic model of rub-impact rotor system is investigated to quantitatively reveal the periodic oscillation behavior of the IF of vibration signals. Second, the theoretical analysis for the NSquTFT is conducted to prove that the NSquTFT is suitable for signals with fast-varying IF, and the method for rotor rub-impact fault diagnosis based on the NSquTFT is presented. Through a dynamic simulation signal, the effectiveness of the NSquTFT in extracting the fast-oscillating periodic IF is verified. The proposed method is then applied to analyze an experimental vibration signal collected from a test rig and a practical vibration signal collected from a dual-rotor turbofan engine for rotor rub-impact fault diagnosis. Comparisons are conducted throughout to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method by using Hilbert–Huang transform, wavelet-based synchrosqueezing transform (SST), and other methods. The application and comparison results show that the fast-oscillating periodic IF of the vibration signals caused by rotor rub-impact faults can be better extracted by the proposed method.

This paper applies the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) 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 the fault information diagnosis of the gearbox vibration signals can be extracted from the coefficient-energy value of intrinsic mode function. Experiment result has shown the feasibility and efficiency of the EMD algorithms and energy characteristic method in fault diagnosis and fault message abstraction. It is significant for the monitor operating state of gearbox and detects incipient faults as soon as possible.

The multi-disc wet clutch is widely used in transmission systems as it transfers the torque and power between the gearbox and the driving engine. During service, the buckling of the friction components in the wet clutch is inevitable, which can shorten the lifetime of the wet clutch and decrease the vehicle performance. Therefore, fault diagnosis and online monitoring are required to identify the buckling state of the friction components. However, unlike in other rotating machinery, the time-domain features of the vibration signal lack efficiency in fault diagnosis for the wet clutch. This paper aims to present a new fault diagnosis method based on multi-speed Hilbert spectrum entropy to classify the buckling state of the wet clutch. Firstly, the wet clutch is classified depending on the buckling degree of the disks, and then a bench test is conducted to obtain vibration signals of each class at varying speeds. By comparing the accuracy of different classifiers with and without entropy, Hilbert spectrum entropy shows higher efficiency than time-domain features for the wet clutch diagnosis. Thus, the classification results based on multi-speed entropy achieve even better accuracy.

The vibration signal of an on-load tap changer (OLTC) consists of a series of sharp vibration bursts, and its fault feature in certain periods is easily missed. This study considered that preprocessing the vibration signal of the OLTC in segments could effectively solve the aforementioned problem. First, the collection of the signal is discussed, the waveform characteristics of the vibration signal when the OLTC was in normal action was described, and the selection of the signal was analyzed. Second, the time domain characteristics and frequency spectrum analyses were carried out to demonstrate the necessity of segmented preprocessing. Further, the segmented preprocessing method for the vibration signal of the OLTC was presented. Finally, the main mechanical faults of the OLTC were simulated, and the vibration signals were collected to carry out the fault diagnosis experiment on the OLTC. The experimental results showed that the accuracy of the fault diagnosis increased from 94.30% of the nonsegmented preprocessing to 98.46% of the segmented preprocessing. The increase was greater, especially for contact wear faults. The method was successfully applied to the actual project.

Cylinder head and fuel injecting vibration consist of rich information about the working state of the locomotive engine, which shows important potential on the engine fault online diagnosis and regular maintenance. Through acquiring the cylinder head and fuel injecting vibration signals, comparing with the standard signals, fault diagnosis strategy is researched. By analyzing the cylinder head vibration curve with the method of vibration comparison value, the working states of all the cylinders are obtained. With the vibration curve of the fuel injecting, the problem of the injectors is found which helps to locate the fault. The strategy is applied to the No.0015 locomotive of the Rizhao Seaport Transportation Company. The matching between the analysis result and practical locomotive state shows the validity of the strategy which can dramatically improve the maintaining efficiency as well as decrease the degree of over maintenance and lack of maintenance.

As the most important transmission system of vehicles, the gearbox has a high fault rate, so it is meaningful to evaluate and diagnose its health condition and faults accurately. Autocorrelation -envelope analysis is a fault diagnosis method that can suppress the noise and reserve the periodic components of vibration signals. A conclusion has been deduced: amplitude modulated, frequency modulated, or amplitude& frequency modulated signals can be transformed into amplitude modulated signals with the same modulation frequency through autocorrelation processing. Therefore, the aucorrelation-envelope technique is suitable for extracting the fault features of gearbox from its vibration signal with the coexistence of amplitude modulation and frequency modulation. The simulation results verify the validity of the conclusion and the experiment of vehicle gearbox diagnosis indicates the effectiveness of this method.
