In this paper, a novel intelligent method to identify gear fault pattern was approached based on morphological filter, harmonic wavelet package and grey incidence. At first, the line structure element was selected for morphological filter to denoise the original signal. Secondly, different gear fault signals were decomposed into eight frequency bands by harmonic wavelet package in three levels; and energy distribution of each band was calculated. Finally, these energy distributions could serve as the feature vectors, the grey incidence of different gear vibration signals was calculated to identify the fault pattern and condition. Practical results show that this method can be used in gear fault diagnosis effectively.

In this paper, a novel fault diagnosis method for gear was approached based on morphological filter, ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), sample entropy and grey incidence. Firstly, in order to eliminate the influence of noises, the line structure element was selected for morphological filter to denoise the original signal. Secondly, denoised vibration signals were decomposed into a finite number of stationary intrinsic mode functions (IMF) and some containing the most dominant fault information were calculated the sample entropy. Finally, these sample entropies could serve as the feature vectors, the grey incidence of different gear vibration signals was calculated to identify the fault pattern and condition. Practical results show that this method can be used in gear fault diagnosis effectively.

In this paper, a new comprehensive gearbox fault diagnosis method was proposed based on rank-order morphological filter, ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and grey incidence. Firstly, the rank-order morphological filter was defined and the line structure element was selected for rank-order morphological filter to de-noise the original acceleration vibration signal. Secondly, de-noised gearbox vibration signals were decomposed into a finite number of stationary intrinsic mode functions (IMF) and some IMFs containing the most dominant fault information were calculated the energy distribution. Finally, due to the grey incidence has good classify capacity for small sample pattern identification; these energy distributions could serve as the feature vectors, the grey incidence of different gearbox vibration signals was calculated to identify the fault pattern and condition. Practical results show that the proposed method can be used in gear fault diagnosis effectively.

The gear fault diagnosis system is proposed based on harmonic wavelet packet transform (WPT) and BP neural network techniques. The WPT is a well-known signal processing technique for fault detection and identification in mechanical system,In the preprocessing of vibration signals, WPT coefficients are used for evaluating their energy and treated as the features to distinguish the fault conditions.In the experimental work, the harmonic wavelets are used as mother wavelets to build and perform the proposed WPT technique. The experimental results showed that the proposed system achieved an average classification accuracy of over 95% for various gear working conditions.

Time–frequency representations (TFR) have been intensively employed for analysing vibration signals in gear fault diagnosis. However, in many applications, TFR are simply utilized as a visual aid to detect gear defects. An attractive issue is to utilize the TFR for automatic classification of faults. A key step for this study is to extract discriminative features from TFR as input feature vector for classifiers. This article contributes to this ongoing investigation by applying morphological pattern spectrum (MPS) to characterize the TFR for gear fault diagnosis. The S transform, which combines the separate strengths of the short-time Fourier transform and wavelet transforms, is chosen to perform the time–frequency analysis of vibration signals from gear. Then, the MPS scheme is applied to extract the discriminative features from the TFR. The promise of MPS is illustrated by performing our procedure on vibration signals measured from a gearbox with five operating states. Experiment results demonstrate the MPS to be a satisfactory scheme for characterizing TFRs for an accurate classification of gear faults.

This paper proposes a gear fault diagnosis method based on cyclostationary degree and Hidden Markov Model (HMM) theory. By using the demodulation characteristic of cyclostationary degree for AM and FM signals, we extract the characteristic information of the gear working status. This information can be converted into sets of fault feature vector, which is used as the training sample or observed sample of HMM model for gear fault identification. Experimental results show that the gear fault diagnosis method has good recognition result for the four kinds of status of normal, broken teeth, pitting and wear gear.

Fractal dimension (FD) is one of the most utilized parameters for characterizing and discriminating vibration signals in gear fault detection. However, most of the natural signals are not critical self-similar fractals; the assumption of a constant FD at all scales may not be appropriate. Motivated by this fact, this article explores the capacity of the multi-scale fractal dimension (MFD) to represent the complexity of vibration signals for gear fault diagnosis. We select the morphological covering method to calculate the MFD. Vibration signals measured from a gear test rig with five states are employed to evaluate the effectiveness of the presented method. Experimental results reveal that the vibration signals acquired from gear with five states demonstrate different fractal structures when the visualization scales are changed. The MFD can provide more information about the signals and yield a higher classification rate than the FD and traditional statistical parameters. It is very reasonable to apply the MFD to vibration signal analysis for improving the performance of the gear fault diagnosis.
