RESUMEN
Blind deconvolution is a method that can effectively improve the fault characteristics of rolling bearings. However, the existing blind deconvolution methods have shortcomings in practical applications. The minimum entropy deconvolution (MED) and the optimal minimum entropy deconvolution adjusted (OMEDA) are susceptible to extreme values. Furthermore, maximum correlated kurtosis deconvolution (MCKD) and multipoint optimal minimum entropy deconvolution adjusted (MOMEDA) are required prior knowledge of faults. On the basis of the periodicity and impact of bearing fault signals, a new deconvolution algorithm, namely one based on maximum correlation spectral negentropy (CSNE), which adopts the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to solve the filter coefficients, is proposed in this paper. Verified by the simulated vibration model signal and the experimental simulation signal, the PSO-CSNE algorithm proposed in this paper overcomes the influence of harmonic signals and random pulse signals more effectively than other blind deconvolution algorithms when prior knowledge of the fault is unknown.
RESUMEN
Compound fault diagnosis is challenging due to the complexity, diversity and non-stationary characteristics of mechanical complex faults. In this paper, a novel compound fault separation method based on singular negentropy difference spectrum (SNDS) and integrated fast spectral correlation (IFSC) is proposed. Firstly, the original signal was de-noised by SNDS which improved the noise reduction effect of singular difference spectrum by introducing negative entropy. Secondly, the de-noised signal was analyzed by fast spectral correlation. Finally, IFSC took the fourth-order energy as the index to determine the resonance band and separate the fault features of different single fault. The proposed method is applied to analyze the simulated compound signals and the experimental vibration signals, the results show that the proposed method has excellent performance in the separation of rolling bearing composite faults.
RESUMEN
The accurate fault diagnosis of gearboxes is of great significance for ensuring safe and efficient operation of rotating machinery. This paper develops a novel fault diagnosis method based on hierarchical instantaneous energy density dispersion entropy (HIEDDE) and dynamic time warping (DTW). Specifically, the instantaneous energy density (IED) analysis based on singular spectrum decomposition (SSD) and Hilbert transform (HT) is first applied to the vibration signal of gearbox to acquire the IED signal, which is designed to reinforce the fault feature of the signal. Then, the hierarchical dispersion entropy (HDE) algorithm developed in this paper is used to quantify the complexity of the IED signal to obtain the HIEDDE as fault features. Finally, the DTW algorithm is employed to recognize the fault types automatically. The validity of the two parts that make up the HIEDDE algorithm, i.e., the IED analysis for fault features enhancement and the HDE algorithm for quantifying the information of signals, is numerically verified. The proposed method recognizes the fault patterns of the experimental data of gearbox accurately and exhibits advantages over the existing methods such as multi-scale dispersion entropy (MDE) and refined composite MDE (RCMDE).
RESUMEN
When rolling bearing failure occurs, vibration signals generally contain different signal components, such as impulsive fault feature signals, background noise and harmonic interference signals. One of the most challenging aspects of rolling bearing fault diagnosis is how to inhibit noise and harmonic interference signals, while enhancing impulsive fault feature signals. This paper presents a novel bearing fault diagnosis method, namely an improved Hilbert time-time (IHTT) transform, by combining a Hilbert time-time (HTT) transform with principal component analysis (PCA). Firstly, the HTT transform was performed on vibration signals to derive a HTT transform matrix. Then, PCA was employed to de-noise the HTT transform matrix in order to improve the robustness of the HTT transform. Finally, the diagonal time series of the de-noised HTT transform matrix was extracted as the enhanced impulsive fault feature signal and the contained fault characteristic information was identified through further analyses of amplitude and envelope spectrums. Both simulated and experimental analyses validated the superiority of the presented method for detecting bearing failures.
RESUMEN
The impulsive fault feature signal of rolling bearings at the early failure stage is easily contaminated by the fundamental frequency (i.e., the rotation frequency of the shaft) signal and background noise. To address this problem, this paper puts forward a rolling bearing weak fault diagnosis method with the combination of optimal notch filter and enhanced singular value decomposition. Firstly, in order to eliminate the interference of the fundamental frequency signal, the original signal was processed by the notch filter with the fundamental frequency as the center frequency and with a varying bandwidth to get a series of corresponding notch filter signals. Secondly, the Teager energy entropy index was adopted to adaptively determine the optimal bandwidth to complete the optimal notch filter analysis on the raw vibration signal and obtain the corresponding optimal notch filter signal. Thirdly, an enhanced singular value decomposition de-nosing method was employed to de-noise the optimal notch filter signal. Finally, the envelope spectrum analysis was conducted on the de-noised signal to extract the fault characteristic frequencies. The effectiveness of the presented method was demonstrated via simulation and experiment verifications. In addition, the minimum entropy deconvolution, Kurtogram and Infogram methods were employed for comparisons to show the advantages of the presented method.
RESUMEN
Rotor is a widely used and easily defected mechanical component. Thus, it is significant to develop effective techniques for rotor fault diagnosis. Fault signature extraction and state classification of the extracted signatures are two key steps for diagnosing rotor faults. To complete the accurate recognition of rotor states, a novel evaluation index named characteristic frequency band energy entropy (CFBEE) was proposed to extract the defective features of rotors, and support vector machine (SVM) was employed to automatically identify the rotor fault types. Specifically, the raw vibration signal of rotor was first analyzed by a joint time-frequency method based on improved singular spectrum decomposition (ISSD) and Hilbert transform (HT) to derive its time-frequency spectrum (TFS), which is named ISSD-HT TFS in this paper. Then, the CFBEE of the ISSD-HT TFS was calculated as the fault feature vector. Finally, SVM was used to complete the automatic identification of rotor faults. Simulated processing results indicate that ISSD improves the end effects of singular spectrum decomposition (SSD) and is superior to empirical mode decomposition (EMD) in extracting the sub-components of rotor vibration signal. The ISSD-HT TFS can more accurately reflect the time-frequency information compared to the EMD-HT TFS. Experimental verification demonstrates that the proposed method can accurately identify rotor defect types and outperform some other methods.
