Matching pursuit of an adaptive impulse dictionary for bearing fault diagnosis

The sparse decomposition based on matching pursuit is an adaptive sparse expression of the signals. An adaptive matching pursuit algorithm that uses an impulse dictionary is introduced in this article for rolling bearing vibration signal processing and fault diagnosis. First, a new dictionary model is established according to the characteristics and mechanism of rolling bearing faults. The new model incorporates the rotational speed of the bearing, the dimensions of the bearing and the bearing fault status, among other parameters. The model can simulate the impulse experienced by the bearing at different bearing fault levels. A simulation experiment suggests that a new impulse dictionary used in a matching pursuit algorithm combined with a genetic algorithm has a more accurate effect on bearing fault diagnosis than using a traditional impulse dictionary. However, those two methods have some weak points, namely, poor stability, rapidity and controllability. Each key parameter in the dictionary model and its influence on the analysis results are systematically studied, and the impulse location is determined as the primary model parameter. The adaptive impulse dictionary is established by changing characteristic parameters progressively. The dictionary built by this method has a lower redundancy and a higher relevance between each dictionary atom and the analyzed vibration signal. The matching pursuit algorithm of an adaptive impulse dictionary is adopted to analyze the simulated signals. The results indicate that the characteristic fault components could be accurately extracted from the noisy simulation fault signals by this algorithm, and the result exhibited a higher efficiency in addition to an improved stability, rapidity and controllability when compared with a matching pursuit approach that was based on a genetic algorithm. We experimentally analyze the early-stage fault signals and composite fault signals of the bearing. The results further demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the matching pursuit algorithm that uses the adaptive impulse dictionary. Finally, this algorithm is applied to the analysis of engineering data, and good results are achieved.     

Low speed bearing fault diagnosis using acoustic emission sensors

In this paper, a new methodology for low speed bearing fault diagnosis is presented. This acoustic emission (AE) based technique starts with a heterodyne frequency reduction approach that samples AE signals at a rate comparable to vibration centered methodologies. Then, the sampled AE signal is time synchronously resampled to account for possible fluctuations in shaft speed and bearing slippage. The resampling approach is able to segment the AE signal according to shaft crossing times such that an even number of data points are available to compute a single spectral average which is used to extract features and evaluate numerous condition indicators (CIs) for bearing fault diagnosis. Unlike existing averaging based noise reduction approaches that require the computation of multiple averages for each bearing fault type, the presented approach computes only one average for all bearing fault types. The presented technique is validated using the AE signals of seeded fault steel bearings on a bearing test rig. The results in this paper have shown that the low sampled AE signals in combination with the presented approach can be utilized to effectively extract condition indicators to diagnose all four bearing fault types at multiple low shaft speeds below 10 Hz.     

Envelope extraction based dimension reduction for independent component analysis in fault diagnosis of rolling element bearing

A robust feature extraction scheme for the rolling element bearing (REB) fault diagnosis is proposed by combining the envelope extraction and the independent component analysis (ICA). In the present approach, the envelope extraction is not only utilized to obtain the impulsive component corresponding to the faults from the REB, but also to reduce the dimension of vibration sources included in the sensor-picked signals. Consequently, the difficulty for applying the ICA algorithm under the conditions that the sensor number is limited and the source number is unknown can be successfully eliminated. Then, the ICA algorithm is employed to separate the envelopes according to the independence of vibration sources. Finally, the vibration features related to the REB faults can be separated from disturbances and clearly exposed by the envelope spectrum. Simulations and experimental tests are conducted to validate the proposed method.     

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.     

Feature extraction for rolling element bearing fault diagnosis utilizing generalized S transform and two-dimensional non-negative matrix factorization

This paper presents a novel feature extraction scheme for roller bearing fault diagnosis utilizing generalized S transform and two-dimensional non-negative matrix factorization (2DNMF). The generalized S transform, which can make up the poor energy concentration of the standard S transform, is introduced to generate the time-frequency representation (TFR). Experiment results on simulated signal and vibration signals measured from rolling element bearings have revealed that the generalized S transform can obtain a more satisfactory TFR than other similar techniques. Furthermore, a new technique called two-dimensional non-negative matrix factorization (2DNMF), which can reduce the computation cost and preserve more structure information hiding in original 2D matrices compared to the NMF, is developed to extract more informative features from the time-frequency matrixes for accurate fault classification. Experimental results on bearing faults classification have demonstrated that the proposed feature extraction scheme has an advantage over other similar feature extraction approaches.     

Clustering diagnosis of rolling element bearing fault based on integrated Autoregressive/Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity model

Feature extraction plays an important role in the clustering analysis. In this paper an integrated Autoregressive (AR)/Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (ARCH) model is proposed to characterize the vibration signal and the model coefficients are adopted as feature vectors to realize clustering diagnosis of rolling element bearings. The main characteristic is that the AR item and ARCH item are interrelated with each other so that it can depict the excess kurtosis and volatility clustering information in the vibration signal more accurately in comparison with two-stage AR/ARCH model. To testify the correctness, four kinds of bearing signals are adopted for parametric modeling by using the integrated and two-stage AR/ARCH model. The variance analysis of the model coefficients shows that the integrated AR/ARCH model can get more concentrated distribution. Taking these coefficients as feature vectors, K means based clustering is utilized to realize the automatic classification of bearing fault status. The results show that the proposed method can get more accurate results in comparison with two-stage model and discrete wavelet decomposition.     

An adaptive smooth unsaturated bistable stochastic resonance system and its application in rolling bearing fault diagnosis

An adaptive smooth unsaturated bistable stochastic resonance (ASUBSR) system for bearing fault signal detection is established. Based on the problem of output saturation and poor low-frequency suppression performance of classical bistable stochastic resonance (CBSR) system, an SUBSR with unsaturated characteristics is proposed. An ASUBSR system is designed by extracting the envelope spectrum of the input signal and resampling it to satisfy the adiabatic approximation condition, combining high-pass filter to filter out low-frequency interference, and using genetic algorithm to select the optimal system parameters. Through simulations and experiments, we found that the system can effectively suppress the interference of low-frequency and high-frequency, indicates that the system performs like a band-pass filter, and the output signal-to-noise ratio is better than that of the CBSR system. The proposed ASUBSR system has great application in the field of fault detection of rolling bearings.

A fault diagnosis scheme of rolling element bearing based on near-field acoustic holography and gray level co-occurrence matrix

Vibration signal analysis is the most widely used technique in condition monitoring or fault diagnosis, whereas in some cases vibration-based diagnosis is restrained because of its contact measurement. Acoustic-based diagnosis (ABD) with non-contact measurement has received little attention, although sound field may contain abundant information related to fault pattern. A new scheme of ABD for rolling element bearing fault diagnosis based on near-field acoustic holography (NAH) and gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) is presented in this paper. It focuses on applying the distribution information of sound field to bearing fault diagnosis. A series of rolling element bearings with different types of fault are experimentally studied. Sound fields and corresponding acoustic images in different bearing conditions are obtained by fast Fourier transform (FFT) based NAH. GLCM features are extracted for capturing fault pattern information underlying sound fields. The optimal feature subset selected by improved F-score is fed into multi-class support vector machine (SVM) for fault pattern identification. The feasibility and effectiveness of our proposed scheme is demonstrated on the good experimental results and the comparison with the traditional ABD method. Considering test cost, the quantized level and the number of GLCM features for each characteristic frequency is suggested to be 4 and 32, respectively, with the satisfactory accuracy rate 97.5%.

In addition, the mean of signal-noise ratio increase(MSNRI) is served as the measurement index of stochastic resonance (SR) for periodic signal detection, while traditional SR under optimal parameters. Finally, bearing fault diagnosis is carried out. It is found that the performance of the proposed system is better than traditional system which also verified in the bearing fault diagnosis.
