A Modal Frequency Estimation Method of Non-Stationary Signal under Mass Time-Varying Condition Based on EMD Algorithm

Abstract

A method to estimate modal frequency based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) is proposed. This method can decrease the difficulties in identifying modal frequency of combine harvesters. First, we used 16 acceleration sensors installed at different test points to collect vibration signals of a corn combine harvester under operating conditions (mass time-varying conditions). Second, we calculated mean value, variance and root mean square (RMS) value of the vibration signals, and analyzed its stationarity of vibration signals. Third, the main frequencies of the 16 points were extracted using the EMD and EEMD methods. Finally, we considered modal frequencies identified by the SSI algorithm as standard, and calculated the fitting degrees of the EMD and EEMD methods. The results show that in different time periods (0~60 s and 60~120 s), the maximum differences of the mean value, variance and RMS value of signals were 0.8633, 171.1629 and 11.3767, and the vibration signal under the operating condition of field harvesting can be regarded as a typical non-stationary random vibration signal. The EMD method had more modal aliasing than EEMD, and when we obtained the fitting equations of EMD, EEMD and SSI methods, the value of the Euler distance between the EMD fitting equation and the SSI fitting equation was 446.7883, while that for EEMD and SSI was 417.2845. The vibration frequencies calculated by the EEMD method is closer to the modal frequencies identified by SSI algorithm. The proposed method provides a reference for modal frequency identification and vibration control in a complex working environment.

“…In order to further increase the prediction's precision, many researchers use data decomposition methods to process the original sequence [9] [10]. but EMD will cause modal aliasing [11]. Although the improved EEMD method effectively reduces modal aliasing, there are too many low-frequency components in the subsequence [12].…”

Deep Learning Network Based on Improved Sparrow Search Algorithm Optimization for Rolling Bearing Fault Diagnosis

“…Huang et al [13] proposed empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and applied it to process nonlinear signals, but EMD is subject to problems such as mode mixing and underenveloping during the decomposition process. To solve this problem, methods such as local mean decomposition (LMD) [14,15] and integrated empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) [16,17] have been proposed and achieved a certain degree of effectiveness; although LMD and EEMD can compensate for the defects of EMD to a certain extent, these methods still belong to recursive mode decomposition algorithms and cannot fundamentally solve the endpoint effects and error accumulation arising from the gradual accumulation of errors in the decomposition process [18]. Dragomiretskiy K. et al [19] proposed a variational modal decomposition (VMD) algorithm, which can decompose a signal into an amplitude-modulated signal with real physical significance, with high decomposition accuracy and fast convergence [20].…”
