Maximum cross-correlated kurtosis-based unsaturated stochastic resonance and its application to bearing fault diagnosis

Considering the random impulses of mechanical noise and the limitations involved while identifying mechanical fault impulse signals via traditional measurement indices of signal-to-noise ratio, which require the characteristic frequency to be known in advance, this study proposes an adaptive unsaturated stochastic resonance method employing maximum cross-correlated kurtosis as the signal detection index. The proposed method combines the features of a cross-correlated coefficient to indicate periodic fault transients and those of spectrum kurtosis to locate these transients in the frequency domain. Actual vibration signals collected from motor and gear bearings subjected to heavy noise are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Through a coarse tree-based machine learning method, the proposed method is verified to be more suitable for explaining the periodic impulse components of bearing signals, as compared to the ensemble empirical mode decomposition denoising method and unsaturated stochastic resonance using the kurtosis-intercorrelation index.     

基于EMD的谱峭度方法在滚动轴承故障检测中的应用

传统谱峭度方法通常采用基于短时傅里叶变换(Short Time Fourier Transform,STFT)的峭度图方法来实现。针对STFT不能保证对瞬态脉冲这种高度非平稳信号最优的分解效果的缺点,提出一种基于经验模式分解(Empirical Mode Decomposition ,EMD)的谱峭度方法。该方法首先利用EMD和Hilbert变换得到信号的时频分布,然后将信号的时频分布按照不同层数分成若干频段,通过计算各频段的峭度值得到相应的峭度图,再根据峭度最大原则选择滤波频段进行带通滤波,最后对滤波信号采用包络分析确定故障信息。实验结果表明：相比传统基于STFT的谱峭度方法,本文方法更能准确的获得轴承加速度信号的故障特征频率信息。     

A time domain approach to diagnose gearbox fault based on measured vibration signals

Spectral analysis techniques to process vibration measurements have been widely studied to characterize the state of gearboxes. However, in practice, the modulated sidebands resulting from the local gear fault are often difficult to extract accurately from an ambiguous/blurred measured vibration spectrum due to the limited frequency resolution and small fluctuations in the operating speed of the machine that often occurs in an industrial environment. To address this issue, a new time-domain diagnostic algorithm is developed and presented herein for monitoring of gear faults, which shows an improved fault extraction capability from such measured vibration signals. This new time-domain fault detection method combines the fast dynamic time warping (Fast DTW) as well as the correlated kurtosis (CK) techniques to characterize the local gear fault, and identify the corresponding faulty gear and its position. Fast DTW is employed to extract the periodic impulse excitations caused from the faulty gear tooth using an estimated reference signal that has the same frequency as the nominal gear mesh harmonic and is built using vibration characteristics of the gearbox operation under presumed healthy conditions. This technique is beneficial in practical analysis to highlight sideband patterns in situations where data is often contaminated by process/measurement noises and small fluctuations in operating speeds that occur even at otherwise presumed steady-state conditions. The extracted signal is then resampled for subsequent diagnostic analysis using CK technique. CK takes advantages of the periodicity of the geared faults; it is used to identify the position of the local gear fault in the gearbox. Based on simulated gear vibration signals, the Fast DTW and CK based approach is shown to be useful for condition monitoring in both fixed axis as well as epicyclic gearboxes. Finally the effectiveness of the proposed method in fault detection of gears is validated using experimental signals from a planetary gearbox test rig. For fault detection in planetary gear-sets, a window function is introduced to account for the planet motion with respect to the fixed sensor, which is experimentally determined and is later employed for the estimation of reference signal used in Fast DTW algorithm.

A method for extracting human gait series from accelerometer signals based on the ensemble empirical mode decomposition

In this paper,the ensemble empirical mode decomposition(EEMD) is applied to analyse accelerometer signals collected during normal human walking.First,the self-adaptive feature of EEMD is utilised to decompose the accelerometer signals,thus sifting out several intrinsic mode functions(IMFs) at disparate scales.Then,gait series can be extracted through peak detection from the eigen IMF that best represents gait rhythmicity.Compared with the method based on the empirical mode decomposition(EMD),the EEMD-based method has the following advantages:it remarkably improves the detection rate of peak values hidden in the original accelerometer signal,even when the signal is severely contaminated by the intermittent noises;this method effectively prevents the phenomenon of mode mixing found in the process of EMD.And a reasonable selection of parameters for the stop-filtering criteria can improve the calculation speed of the EEMD-based method.Meanwhile,the endpoint effect can be suppressed by using the auto regressive and moving average model to extend a short-time series in dual directions.The results suggest that EEMD is a powerful tool for extraction of gait rhythmicity and it also provides valuable clues for extracting eigen rhythm of other physiological signals.

应用经验模态分解和独立成分分析解译岩矿光谱

岩矿光谱由多种矿物光谱混合而成,解译岩矿光谱能够得到岩矿的组分信息,且该方法具有快速、方便、不损坏样品的特点。经验模态分解(empirical mode decomposition, EMD)不能直接分离出混合信号中的源信号,独立成分分析(independent component analysis, ICA)要求混合信号数目不小于其所包括的源信号数目。将EMD和ICA两种方法相融合,首先用EMD分解混合信号得到本征模态函数(intrinsic mode function, IMF),再选择一定数目的IMF与混合信号一起组成ICA的输入数据矩阵,经过ICA运算可以获取单一混合信号中的源信号信息,克服了EMD和ICA两种方法各自的缺陷。研究表明,综合应用EMD和ICA方法可以获取单一混合信号中的源信号信息,混合信号中源信号含量越大,得到的源信号近似值越理想。参与ICA分离的IMF数目决定了分离得到的源信号近似值的数目,并且选择的IMF与混合信号相关系数越大,得到的源信号近似值越理想。运用该方法定量分析岩矿光谱,可以获取组成岩矿的矿物信息,比较适用于野外作业岩矿的快速分析鉴定及成分初步分析。     

A wavelet approach to fault diagnosis of a gearbox under varying load conditions

Varying load can cause changes in a measured gearbox vibration signal. However, conventional techniques for fault diagnosis are based on the assumption that changes in vibration signal are only caused by deterioration of the gearbox. There is a need to develop a technique to provide accurate state indicator of gearbox under fluctuating load conditions. This paper presents an approach to gear fault diagnosis based on complex Morlet continuous wavelet transform under this condition. Gear motion residual signal, which represents the departure of time synchronously averaged signal from the average tooth-meshing vibration, is analyzed as source data due to its lower sensitiveness to the alternating load condition. A fault growth parameter based on the amplitude of wavelet transform is proposed to evaluate gear fault advancement quantitatively. We found that this parameter is insensitive to varying load and can correctly indicate early gear fault. For a comparison, the advantages and disadvantages of other measures such as kurtosis, mean, variance, form factor and crest factor, both of residual signal and mean amplitude of continuous wavelet transform waveform, are also discussed. The effectiveness of the proposed fault indicator is demonstrated using a full lifetime vibration data history obtained under sinusoidal varying load.     

A new blind fault component separation algorithm for a single-channel mechanical signal mixture

A vibration signal collected from a complex machine consists of multiple vibration components, which are system responses excited by several sources. This paper reports a new blind component separation (BCS) method for extracting different mechanical fault features. By applying the proposed method, a single-channel mixed signal can be decomposed into two parts: the periodic and transient subsets. The periodic subset is related to the imbalance, misalignment and eccentricity of a machine. The transient subset refers to abnormal impulsive phenomena, such as those caused by localized bearing faults. The proposed method includes two individual strategies to deal with these different characteristics. The first extracts the sub-Gaussian periodic signal by minimizing the kurtosis of the equalized signals. The second detects the super-Gaussian transient signal by minimizing the smoothness index of the equalized signals. Here, the equalized signals are derived by an eigenvector algorithm that is a successful solution to the blind equalization problem. To reduce the computing time needed to select the equalizer length, a simple optimization method is introduced to minimize the kurtosis and smoothness index, respectively. Finally, simulated multiple-fault signals and a real multiple-fault signal collected from an industrial machine are used to validate the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method is able to effectively decompose the multiple-fault vibration mixture into periodic components and random non-stationary transient components. In addition, the equalizer length can be intelligently determined using the proposed method.

Identification of multiple transient faults based on the adaptive spectral kurtosis method

This paper proposes a multi-fault detection method based on the adaptive spectral kurtosis (ASK) analysis of the vibration signal from single sensor. A theoretical model of multiple bearing faults is established in this paper. Compared with the kurtogram and protrugram techniques, the proposed method can more effectively extract signatures of multiple bearing faults even in the presence of strong background noise. The performance of the proposed method in fault detection of the rolling element bearings is validated using simulation data and experimental signals from a bearing with multiple faults and two faulty bearings.     

Comparison of simultaneous signals obtained from a dual-field-of-view lidar and its application to noise reduction based on empirical mode decomposition

Although the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) method is an effective tool for noise reduction in lidar signals, evaluating the effectiveness of the denoising method is difficult. A dual-field-of-view lidar for observing atmospheric aerosols is described. The backscattering signals obtained from two channels have different signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). The performance of noise reduction can be investigated by comparing the high SNR signal and the denoised low SNR signal without a simulation experiment. With this approach, the signal and noise are extracted to one intrinsic mode function (IMF) by the EMD- based denoising; thus, the threshold method is applied to the IMFs. Experimental results show that the improved threshold method can effectively perform noise reduction while preserving useful sudden-change information.     

Infrared small target detection based on modified local entropy and EMD

Image entropy and empirical mode decomposition （EMD） are effective methods for target detection. EMD algorithm is a powerful tool for adaptive multiscale analysis of nonstationary signals. A new technique based on EMD and modified local entropy is proposed in small target detection under sea-sky background. With the EMD algorithm, it is valid to estimate the background and get the target image by removing the background from the original image and segmenting the target based on the modified local entropy method. The data analysis and experiments show the validity of the proposed algorithm.     

Denoising of chaotic signal using independent component analysis and empirical mode decomposition with circulate translating

In this paper, a new method to reduce noises within chaotic signals based on ICA(independent component analysis)and EMD(empirical mode decomposition) is proposed. The basic idea is decomposing chaotic signals and constructing multidimensional input vectors, firstly, on the base of EMD and its translation invariance. Secondly, it makes the independent component analysis on the input vectors, which means that a self adapting denoising is carried out for the intrinsic mode functions(IMFs) of chaotic signals. Finally, all IMFs compose the new denoised chaotic signal. Experiments on the Lorenz chaotic signal composed of different Gaussian noises and the monthly observed chaotic sequence on sunspots were put into practice. The results proved that the method proposed in this paper is effective in denoising of chaotic signals.Moreover, it can correct the center point in the phase space effectively, which makes it approach the real track of the chaotic attractor.
