The vibration signal of an early rolling bearing is nonstationary and nonlinear, and the fault signal is weak and difficult to extract. To address this problem, this paper proposes a genetic mutation particle swarm optimization variational mode decomposition (GMPSO-VMD) algorithm and applies it to rolling bearing vibration signal fault feature extraction. Firstly, the minimum envelope entropy is used as the objective function of the GMPSO to find the optimal parameter combination of the VMD algorithm. Then, the optimized VMD algorithm is used to decompose the vibration signal of the rolling bearing and several intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) are obtained. The envelope spectrum analysis of GMPSO-VMD decomposed rolling bearing fault signal IMF1 was carried out. Moreover, the feature frequency of the four fault states of the rolling bearing are extracted accurately. Finally, the GMPSO-VMD algorithm is utilized to analyze the simulation signal and rolling bearing fault vibration signal. The effectiveness of the GMPSO-VMD algorithm is verified by comparing it with the fixed parameter VMD (FP-VMD) algorithm, complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) algorithm and empirical mode decomposition (EMD) algorithm.

Nowadays, the fault diagnosis of rolling bearing in aeroengines is based on the vibration signal measured on casing, instead of bearing block. However, the vibration signal of the bearing is often covered by a series of complex components caused by other structures (rotor, gears). Therefore, when bearings cause failure, it is still not certain that the fault feature can be extracted from the vibration signal on casing. In order to solve this problem, a novel fault feature extraction method for rolling bearing based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and the difference spectrum of singular value is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the vibration signal is decomposed by EMD. Next, the difference spectrum of singular value method is applied. The study finds that each peak on the difference spectrum corresponds to each component in the original signal. According to the peaks on the difference spectrum, the component signal of the bearing fault can be reconstructed. To validate the proposed method, the bearing fault data collected on the casing are analyzed. The results indicate that the proposed rolling bearing diagnosis method can accurately extract the fault feature that is submerged in other component signals and noise.

A bearing fault diagnosis approach based on spectral kurtosis and empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is proposed. EMD is a signal decomposition technique, which can adaptively separate a number of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) from the vibration signal according to the architectural characteristics of the data. The spectral kurtosis parameter takes as signal impulsive indicator. Firstly, EMD is utilized to process the sampling vibration signal. And then spectral kurtosis is calculated to select the optimal intrinsic mode functions, so as to suppress the noise and highlight the transient impact feature. Finally, the envelope spectrum is computed and the fault characteristic is recognized. The experimental results show that the proposed approach can identify bearing defects effectively and provide a reliable method for gearbox fault monitoring and diagnosis.

Measured vibration signals from rolling element bearings with defects are generally nonstationary, and are multiscale in nature owing to contributions from events with different localization in time and frequency. This paper presents a novel approach to characterize the multiscale signature via empirical mode decomposition (EMD) for rolling bearing localized defect evaluation. Vibration signal measured from a rolling element bearing is first adaptively decomposed by the EMD to achieve a series of usable intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) carrying the bearing health information at multiple scales. Then the localized defect-induced IMF is selected from all the IMFs based on a variance regression approach. The multiscale signature, called multiscale slope feature, is finally estimated from the regression line fitted over logarithmic variances of the IMFs excluding the defect IMF. The presented feature reveals the pattern of energy transfer among multiple scales due to localized defects, representing an inherent self-similar signature of the bearing health information that is embedded on multiple analyzed scales. Experimental results verify the performance of the proposed multiscale feature, and further discussions are provided.

This paper presents a signal decomposition and feature extraction technique for the health diagnosis of rotary machines, based on the empirical mode decomposition. Vibration signal measured from a defective rolling bearing is decomposed into a number of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), with each IMF corresponding to a specific range of frequency components contained within the vibration signal. Two criteria, the energy measure and correlation measure, are investigated to determine the most representative IMF for extracting defect-induced characteristic features out of vibration signals. The envelope spectrum of the selected IMF is investigated as an indicator for both the existence and the specific location of structural defects within the bearing. Theoretical foundation of the technique is introduced, and its performance is experimentally verified.

Helicopter rotor system (HRS), which is a key component without redundancy design, is of significant importance for flight safety. Working under demanding environment, HRS faults are hard to detect. This paper proposes a new approach based on Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) and envelope demodulation to realize HRS fault feature extraction under strong interference. Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) was used to decompose the vibration signal into several intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) first, then, Hilbert transformation was applied to the IMFs to get the envelopes. And at last, fast Fourier transform (FFT) was adopted with the IMF which was closely related to the fault features. This method can avoid the selection of center frequency and filter band in resonance demodulation method, therefore, it has good adaptivity. Two commonly occurring faults in HRS are simulated on a test rig to validate the performance and effectiveness of the proposed method. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method based on HHT envelope demodulation is effective for the HRS fault feature extraction.

A method is proposed to improve the feature extraction of vibration signals of rotating machinery. Firstly, the single-channel vibration signal is decomposed with ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD). Then, the number of fault signals can be estimated with singular-value decomposition (SVD). Finally, the fault signals can be extracted with kernel-independent component analysis (KICA). The advantage of this method is that it can estimate the number of fault signals of single-channel vibration signals and can extract the fault features clearly. Compared with wavelets, empirical mode decomposition (EMD), variational mode decomposition (VMD) and EEMD, the better performance of this method is proven with three experimental analyses of faulty gear, a faulty rolling bearing and a faulty shaft. The results demonstrate that the proposed method is efficient to extract the fault features of single-channel vibration signals of rotating machinery.

To avoid catastrophic failures in rotating machines, it is of great significance to continuously monitor and diagnose the running state of rolling bearings. In this article, a deep feature extraction method for rolling bearing fault diagnosis based on empirical mode decomposition and kernel function is proposed. First, the vibration signals under different states of rolling bearing are decomposed by empirical mode decomposition. Second, to extract more representative high-level features, the obtained intrinsic mode functions are preprocessed with singular value decomposition to acquire singular value parameters, which are regarded as the inputs of the proposed stacked kernel sparse autoencoder network. The proposed method does not depend on prior knowledge of fault diagnosis and even does not need the signal denoising processing, simplifying the traditional process of feature extraction of rolling bearing fault diagnosis. To validate the superiority of the proposed diagnosis network, experiments and comparisons have been made as well. The achieved results demonstrated that the proposed empirical mode decomposition and stacked kernel sparse autoencoder–based diagnosis method has a superior performance in rolling bearing fault diagnosis.
