Fault feature extraction of rotating machinery is crucial and challenging due to its nonlinear and nonstationary characteristics. In order to resolve this difficulty, a quality nonlinear fault feature extraction method is required. Hierarchical permutation entropy has been proven to be a promising nonlinear feature extraction method for fault diagnosis of rotating machinery. Compared with multiscale permutation entropy, hierarchical permutation entropy considers the fault information hidden in both high frequency and low frequency components. However, hierarchical permutation entropy still has some shortcomings, such as poor statistical stability for short time series and inability of analyzing multichannel signals. To address such disadvantages, this paper proposes a new entropy method, called refined composite multivariate hierarchical permutation entropy. Refined composite multivariate hierarchical permutation entropy can extract rich fault information hidden in multichannel signals synchronously. Based on refined composite multivariate hierarchical permutation entropy and random forest, a novel fault diagnosis framework is proposed in this paper. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated using experimental and simulated signals. The results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms multivariate multiscale fuzzy entropy, refined composite multivariate multiscale fuzzy entropy, multivariate multiscale sample entropy, multivariate multiscale permutation entropy, multivariate hierarchical permutation entropy, and composite multivariate hierarchical permutation entropy in recognizing the different faults of rotating machinery.

Fault Feature Extraction

In order to extract and enhance the weak fault feature of rolling element bearings in strong noise conditions, the Empirical Wavelet Transform (EWT) is improved and a novel fault feature extraction and enhancement method is proposed by combining the Maximum Correlated Kurtosis Deconvolution (MCKD) and improved EWT method. At first, the MCKD method is conducted to de-noise the signal by eliminating the non-impact components. Then, the Fourier spectrum is segmented by local maxima or minima in the envelope of the amplitude spectrum with a pre-set threshold based on the noise level. By building up the wavelet filter banks based on the spectrum segmentation result, the signal is adaptively decomposed into several sub-signals. Finally, by choosing the most meaningful sub-signal with the maximum kurtosis, the fault feature can be extracted in the squared envelope spectrum and teager energy operator spectrum of the chosen component. Both simulations and experiments are performed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. It is shown that the spectrum segmentation result of improved EWT is more reasonable than the traditional EWT in strong noise conditions. Furthermore, compared with commonly used methods, such as the Fast Kurtogram (FK) and the Optimal Wavelet Packet Transform (OWPT) method, the proposed method is more effective in the fault feature extraction and enhancement of rolling element bearings.

There are growing demands for condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of rotating machinery to lower unscheduled breakdown. Gearboxes are one of the fundamental components of rotating machinery; their faults identification and classification always draw a lot of attention. However, non-stationary vibration signals and low energy of weak faults makes this task challenging in many cases. Thus, a new fault diagnosis method which combines the Hilbert empirical wavelet transform (HEWT), singular value decomposition (SVD), and self-organizing feature map (SOM) neural network is proposed in this paper. HEWT, a new self-adaptive time-frequency analysis was applied to the vibration signals to obtain the instantaneous amplitude matrices. Then, the singular value vectors, as the fault feature vectors were acquired by applying the SVD. Last, the SOM was used for automatic gearbox fault identification and classification. An electromechanical model comprising an induction motor coupled with a single stage spur gearbox is considered where the vibration signals of four typical operation modes were simulated. The conditions include the healthy gearbox, input shaft slant crack, tooth cracking, and tooth surface pitting. Obtained results show that the proposed method effectively identifies the gearbox faults at an early stage and realizes automatic fault diagnosis. Moreover, performance evaluation and comparison between the proposed HEWT–SVD method and Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT)–SVD approach show that the HEWT–SVD is better for feature extraction.

Summary Objectives : Many pathological conditions of the cardiovascular system cause murmurs and aberrations in heart sounds. Phonocardiography provides the clinician with a complementary tool to record the heart sounds heard during auscultation. The advancement of intracardiac phonocardiography combined with modern digital signal processing techniques has strongly renewed researchers' interest in studying heart sounds and murmurs.The aim of this work is to investigate the applicability of different spectral analysis methods to heart sound signals and explore their suitability for PDA-based implementation. Methods : Fourier transform (FT), short-time Fourier transform (STFT) and wavelet transform (WT) are used to perform spectral analysis on heart sounds. A segmentation algorithm based on Shannon energy is used to differentiate between first and second heartsounds. Then wavelet transform is deployed again to extract 64 features of heart sounds. Results : The FT provides valuable frequency information but the timing information is lost during the transformation process. The STFT or spectrogram provides valuable time-frequency information but there is a trade-off between time and frequency resolution. Waveletanalysis, however, does not suffer from limitations of the STFT and provides adequate time and frequency resolution to accurately characterize the normal and pathological heartsounds. Conclusions : The results show that the wavelet-based segmentation algorithm is quite effective in localizing the important components of both normal and abnormal heart sounds. They also demonstrate that wavelet-based feature extraction provides suitable feature vectors which are clearly differentiable and useful for automatic classification of heart sounds.
