Wavelet transform decomposes signals in both time and frequency domains. According to the principle of multi-resolution, irregularities or complexities of decomposed signals in various frequency bands are different, which can indicate mechanical fault. Fractal dimension of decomposed signal is an excellent factor to express the irregularity or complexity. It can make features of mechanical faults remarkable. Based on wavelet fractal dimension, successful diagnosis of looseness fault of bearing bridge for 50MW turbo-generator was obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
