Delay segmented tristable stochastic resonance system driven by non-gaussian colored noise and its application in bearing fault detection

Abstract

This study investigates the Delayed Segmented Tristable Stochastic Resonance (DSTSR) system under the influence of additive non-Gaussian colored noise. The research employs an improved segmented tristable potential function, wherein the equilibrium points and barrier heights can be independently controlled by parameters. Simultaneously, the segmented function on both sides reduces the restrictions of higher-order terms on the walls of the potential wells. The equivalent Langevin equation for the DSTSR system is obtained using the path integral method, the unified colored noise approximation method, and the small-delay approximation. Subsequently, the theoretical expressions for the steady-state probability density, mean first passage time (MFPT), and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) are derived from the resulting equations, and the impact of variations in system parameters on these performance metrics is discussed. Additionally, Monte Carlo simulations for MFPT are conducted to verify the accuracy of the theoretical derivations. Combining the results from the theoretical section and the impact of parameters on system performance, the article employs an adaptive genetic algorithm to optimize system parameters. This algorithm is then applied to simulation experiments and bearing fault detection. In the simulation experiments, the DSTSR system is compared with other systems. The results indicate that the DSTSR system exhibits the highest SNR improvement. Furthermore, in bearing fault detection under non-Gaussian colored noise, the DSTSR system shows higher spectral amplitude and SNR at the fault frequency compared to the tristable stochastic resonance system and the segmented tristable stochastic resonance system without time delay feedback. This suggests that stochastic resonance can effectively detect weak signals in non-Gaussian non-white noise scenarios, and the introduction of time delay contributes to the occurrence of stochastic resonance to a certain extent.
