A health assessment technique based on WPD and multiple linear regression analysis is studied in this paper. Firstly, the Temperature-Vibration function model is established by analyzing the mechanism of vibration and temperature of the gearbox. Secondly, the vibration and temperature signals and ambient temperature of the quayside crane lifting gearbox were decomposed by wavelet packet, and the total energy after wavelet packet reconstruction was calculated respectively. Thirdly, multiple linear regression analysis is carried out to obtain the multiple linear regression model of the lifting gearbox based on the established function model. Finally, the absolute error between the total energy of the wavelet packet of the actual and the calculated temperature is calculated to judge the health status of the gearbox during 2009-2015 according to the model. The results show that the judged health state of the quayside crane lifting gearbox is consistent with the actual situation, indicating that the technique can be effectively applied to the health assessment of the gearbox.

In order to solve the problems of subjectivity in the extraction of traditional degradation features and incomplete degradation information contained in a single sensor signal, a performance degradation assessment and abnormal health status detection method based on information fusion for the quayside crane lifting gearbox is proposed. Firstly, the correlation between the vibration and temperature of the gearbox is analyzed; secondly, the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and entropy degradation features from the full fault cycle vibration and temperature data of the lifting gearbox are extracted respectively; then, the final degradation indicators of the vibration and temperature data are obtained, respectively, through feature optimization, and the fusion degradation indicator is obtained by combining the two indicators; finally, the performance degradation assessment and abnormal health status detection of the gearbox are carried out. The effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method in the performance degradation evaluation of the gearbox are verified by comparison, and the proposed method can identify the initial degradation point of the gearbox earlier than the method based on the single vibration degradation index and the method based on the fusion of the traditional vibration degradation feature and the temperature entropy degradation feature.

Performance degradation assessment (PDA), as an important part of health management, is playing a crucial role in evaluating the degenerate state of mechanical equipment. To evaluate the performance degradation state more effectively by using monitoring data of mechanical equipment, a PDA method based on improved degradation feature extraction technology and considering sample completeness is proposed in this paper. Firstly, multiple degradation features, including statistical features and intrinsic energy features, are extracted to construct a high-dimensional feature set calculated by time-domain analysis and the EMD method. Then, a sensitive feature set, which has significant robustness, correlation, and monotonicity in the degenerate process, is reduced and processed by the improved PCA method to obtain the final health index. Secondly, the degradation assessment model is established by considering the completeness of the samples. As for the complete sample dataset, which has both normal and failure state data, a logistic regression model (LRM) is built to assess the performance degradation status. In addition, an SVDD model is established for the incomplete sample dataset, which only has normal state data. Finally, the reliability of the proposed method is verified by the public XJTU-SY dataset, and the comparative experiment further verifies the superiority of this method.
