Fault-Diagnosis Method for Rotating Machinery Based on SVMD Entropy and Machine Learning

Abstract

Rolling bearings and gears are important components of rotating machinery. Their operating condition affects the operation of the equipment. Fault in the accessory directly leads to equipment downtime or a series of adverse reactions in the system, which brings enormous pecuniary loss to the institution. Hence, it is of great significance to detect the operating status of rolling bearings and gears for fault diagnosis. At present, the vibration method is considered to be the most common method for fault diagnosis, a method that analyzes the equipment by collecting vibration signals. However, rotating-machinery fault diagnosis is challenging due to the need to select effective fault feature vectors, use appropriate machine-learning classification methods, and achieve accurate fault diagnosis. To solve this problem, this paper illustrates a new fault-diagnosis method combining successive variational-mode decomposition (SVMD) entropy values and machine learning. First, the simulation signal and the real fault signal are used to analyze and compare the variational-mode decomposition (VMD) and SVMD methods. The comparison results prove that SVMD can be a useful method for fault diagnosis. Then, these two methods are utilized to extract the energy entropy and fuzzy entropy of the gearbox dataset of Southeast University (SEU), respectively. The feature vector and multiple machine-learning classification models are constructed for failure-mode identification. The experimental-analysis results successfully verify the effectiveness of the combined SVMD entropy and machine-learning approach for rotating-machinery fault diagnosis.

Fault Diagnosis of Airborne Electronic Equipment Based on Dynamic Bayesian Networks

“…Numerous experiments have demonstrated the effectiveness and robustness of this method. Jiang et al (2023) proposed a classification model based on integrated incremental learning for equipment fault diagnosis. The model first introduced an integrated incremental learning mechanism and imbalanced data processing technology to solve the problem of imbalanced feature extraction and classification of many new data under equipment status data as well as imbalanced sample categories.…”

Nonlinear mechanical response analysis and convolutional neural network enabled diagnosis of single-span rotor bearing system

“…Lee et al 26 used Support Vector Machines (SVM) to identify defects, but the defects can be quickly identified only from vibration data of normal and abnormal states. Zhang et al 27 proposed a new fault diagnosis method that combines SVMD entropy with machine learning. The combination of SVMD entropy and machine learning is more effective in fault diagnosis of rotating machinery through more effective fault feature vector selection.…”

A Novel Denoising Method for Ship-Radiated Noise

“…As an improved algorithm of VMD, successive variational mode decomposition (SVMD) was proposed in 2019 [21], which does not need to predetermine the number of modes in advance but finds the desired modes successive. Moreover, SVMD has been applied in feature extraction in the fields of underwater acoustics [22], medicine [23,24], and machinery [25], and has shown good results. In summary, SVMD can provide a new solution for underwater acoustics denoising.…”
