Weak Fault Feature Extraction of the Rotating Machinery Using Flexible Analytic Wavelet Transform and Nonlinear Quantum Permutation Entropy

Addressing the challenges posed by the nonlinear and non-stationary vibrations in rotating machinery,where weak fault characteristic signals hinder accurate fault state representation,we propose a novel feature extraction method that combines the Flexible Analytic Wavelet Transform(FAWT)with Nonlinear Quantum Permutation Entropy.FAWT,leveraging fractional orders and arbitrary scaling and translation factors,exhibits superior translational invariance and adjustable fundamental oscillatory characteristics.This flexibility enables FAWT to provide well-suited wavelet shapes,effectively matching subtle fault components and avoiding performance degradation associated with fixed frequency partitioning and low-oscillation bases in detecting weak faults.In our approach,gearbox vibration signals undergo FAWT to obtain sub-bands.Quantum theory is then introduced into permutation entropy to propose Nonlinear Quantum Permutation Entropy,a feature that more accurately characterizes the operational state of vibration simulation signals.The nonlinear quantum permutation entropy extracted from sub-bands is utilized to characterize the operating state of rotating machinery.A comprehensive analysis of vibration signals from rolling bearings and gearboxes validates the feasibility of the proposed method.Comparative assessments with parameters derived from traditional permutation entropy,sample entropy,wavelet transform(WT),and empirical mode decomposition(EMD)underscore the superior effectiveness of this approach in fault detection and classification for rotating machinery.

DEVELOPMENT OF VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT IN CHARACTERISTIC ANALYSIS OF ROTATING MACHINERY BASED ON INSTANTANEOUS FREQUENCY ESTIMATION

Based on the recently quick-developing time-frequency analysis (TFA)technique and virtual instrument (VI) technique, a virtual instrument in characteristic analysis ofrotating machinery is researched and developed successfully. By utilizing instantaneous frequencyestimation (IFE) theoretics of TFA technique, and based on IFE of peak searching on thetime-frequency spectrum, order analysis (OA) functions is put forward and implemented, such as orderspectrum, order spectrum matrix, order tracking, order tracking filtering, and order componentextraction, etc. Unlike the home and abroad existing popular characteristic analyzers, which needkey phasing devices such as shaft encoder, phase-locked loop (PLL), phase-locked multiple frequency,tachometer, etc, to implement constant angle sampling directly or indirectly, whereas thisinstrument only uses the vibration signal of rotating machinery to carry out OA.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS OF ROTATING MACHINERY USING KNOWLEDGE-BASED FUZZY NEURAL NETWORK

A novel knowledge-based fuzzy neural network （KBFNN） for fault diagnosis is presented. Crude rules were extracted and the corresponding dependent factors and antecedent coverage factors were calculated firstly from the diagnostic sample based on rough sets theory. Then the number of rules was used to construct partially the structure of a fuzzy neural network and those factors were implemented as initial weights, with fuzzy output parameters being optimized by genetic algorithm. Such fuzzy neural network was called KBFNN. This KBFNN was utilized to identify typical faults of rotating machinery. Diagnostic results show that it has those merits of shorter training time and higher right diagnostic level compared to general fuzzy neural networks.

Influence of Operating Parameters on Unbalance in Rotating Machinery Using Response Surface Method

Wide range of rotating machinery contains an inherent amount of unbalance which leads to increase in the vibration level and related faults.In this work,the effect of different operating conditions viz.the unbalanced weight,radius,speed and position of the rotor disc on the unbalance in rotating machine are studied experimentally and analyzed by using Response Surface Methodology(RSM).RSM is a technique which consists of mathematical and statistical methods to develop the relationship between the inputs and outputs of a system by distinct functions.L27 Orthogonal Array(OA)was developed by using Design of Experiments(DOE)according to which experimentation has been carried out.Three accelerometer sensors were mounted to record the vibration responses(accelerations)in radially vertical,horizontal and axial directions.The responses recorded as root mean square values are then analysed using RSM.The relationship between response and operating factors has been established by developing a second order,non-linear mathematical model.Analysis of variance(ANOVA)has been performed for verification of the developed mathematical models.Results obtained from the analysis show that the unbalance weight and speed are most significant operating conditions that contribute the most to the effect the unbalance has on the rotating spindle.

A Method of Rotating Machinery Fault Diagnosis Based on the Close Degree of Information Entropy

This paper presents a method of rotating machinery fault diagnosis based on the close degree of information entropy. In the view of the information entropy, we introduce four information entropy features of the rotating machinery, which describe the vibration condition of the machinery. The four features are, respectively, denominated as singular spectrum entropy, power spectrum entropy, wavelet space state feature entropy and wavelet power spectrum entropy. The value scopes of the four information entropy features of the rotating machinery in some typical fault conditions are gained by experiments, which can be acted as the standard features of fault diagnosis. According to the principle of the shorter distance between the more similar models, the decision-making method based on the close degree of information entropy is put forward to deal with the recognition of fault patterns. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach in an instance involving the fault pattern recognition of some rotating machinery.

Faults in rotating machine are difficult to detect and identify,especially when the system is complex and nonlinear.In order to solve this problem,a novel performance monitoring and fault diagnosis method based on kernel generalized discriminant analysis(kernel GDA,KGDA)was proposed.Through KGDA,the data were mapped from the original space to the high-dimensional feature space.Then the statistic distance between normal data and test data was constructed to detect whether a fault was occurring.If a fault had occurred,similar analysis was used to identify the type of faults.The effectiveness of the proposed method was evaluated by simulation results of vibration signal fault dataset in the rotating machinery,which was scalable to different rotating machinery.

Network Based Real Time Condition Monitoring of Rotating Machinery

This paper presents the development of a network based real time condition monitoring system of rotating machinery. The system is built up in a double net structure consisting of local net (including client and server) and intranet. The client serves as a field data collector and processor that samples the vibration signals and process parameters of a machine monitored in the net and processes the sampled data. The data collected by the client are transmitted to the server that processes the data further and provides the results of the diagnosis of each machine to any distant terminals through intranet or internet. Such a structure of the monitoring system is advantageous in safety, reliability and reasonably shares the existing net resources. In order to ensure real time transmission of the data, two procedures of data transmission, virtual channel and data pool, are developed and applied in the monitoring system. The experimental results show that the monitoring system works well and is suitable to monitor a large group of rotating machines.

A pseudo wavelet system-based vibration signature extracting method for rotating machinery fault detection

The rotating machinery,as a typical example of large and complex mechanical systems,is prone to diversified sorts of mechanical faults,especially on their rotating components.Although they can be collected via vibration measurements,the critical fault signatures are always masked by overwhelming interfering contents,therefore difficult to be identified.Moreover,owing to the distinguished time-frequency characteristics of the machinery fault signatures,classical dyadic wavelet transforms(DWTs) are not perfect for detecting them in noisy environments.In order to address the deficiencies of DWTs,a pseudo wavelet system(PWS) is proposed based on the filter constructing strategies of wavelet tight frames.The presented PWS is implemented via a specially devised shift-invariant filterbank structure,which generates non-dyadic wavelet subbands as well as dyadic ones.The PWS offers a finer partition of the vibration signal into the frequency-scale plane.In addition,in order to correctly identify the essential transient signatures produced by the faulty mechanical components,a new signal impulsiveness measure,named spatial spectral ensemble kurtosis(SSEK),is put forward.SSEK is used for selecting the optimal analyzing parameters among the decomposed wavelet subbands so that the masked critical fault signatures can be explicitly recognized.The proposed method has been applied to engineering fault diagnosis cases,in which the processing results showed its effectiveness and superiority to some existing methods.

A modified VLES model for simulation of rotating separation flow in axial flow rotating machinery

The internal flow in an axial flow rotating machinery is affected by the rotating characteristics, often accompanied by a strong rotating separation under small flow conditions. At present, the very large eddy simulation (VLES) model commonly used for the separation flow simulation still has certain limitations in simulating such rotating separation flow: (1) The Reynolds stress level is overestimated in the near-wall region. (2) The influence of the rotating effect cannot be effectively considered. The above two limitations affect the simulation accuracy of the VLES model for the rotating separation flow under small flow conditions in the axial flow rotating machinery. The objective of this paper is to provide a new hybrid unsteady Reynolds average Navier-Stokes/large eddy simulation (URANS/LES) model suitable for the simulation of the rotating separation flow in an axial flow rotating machinery. Compared with the original VLES method, the modifications are as follows: (1) A Reynolds stress damping function in the near-wall region is introduced to reduce the overestimation of the Reynolds stress caused by the near-wall Reynolds average Navier-Stokes (RANS) behavior of the VLES model. (2) A control function driven by the vortex is introduced to reflect the influence of the rotating effect. Three typical cases are used to verify the calculation accuracy of the modified model. It is shown that the modified model can capture more turbulent vortices based on the URANS grids, and the prediction accuracy of the rotating separation flow is effectively improved. Compared with the original VLES model, the modified model can accurately predict the head change in the hump region of the axial flow pump.

Imbalanced fault diagnosis of rotating machinery using autoencoder-based SuperGraph feature learning

Existing fault diagnosis methods usually assume that there are balanced training data for every machine health state.However,the collection of fault signals is very difficult and expensive,resulting in the problem of imbalanced training dataset.It will degrade the performance of fault diagnosis methods significantly.To address this problem,an imbalanced fault diagnosis of rotating machinery using autoencoder-based SuperGraph feature learning is proposed in this paper.Unsupervised autoencoder is firstly used to compress every monitoring signal into a low-dimensional vector as the node attribute in the SuperGraph.And the edge connections in the graph depend on the relationship between signals.On the basis,graph convolution is performed on the constructed SuperGraph to achieve imbalanced training dataset fault diagnosis for rotating machinery.Comprehensive experiments are conducted on a benchmarking publicized dataset and a practical experimental platform,and the results show that the proposed method can effectively achieve rotating machinery fault diagnosis towards imbalanced training dataset through graph feature learning.

A Three-Dimensional Gas-Kinetic BGK Scheme for Simulating Flows in Rotating Machinery

This paper focuses on the development and application of a threedimensional gas-kinetic Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook(BGK)method for the viscous flows in rotating machinery.For such flows,a rotating frame of reference is usually used in formulating the Navier-Stokes(N-S)equations,and there are two major concerns in constructing the corresponding BGK model.One is the change of the convective velocities in the N-S equations,which can be reflected through modification of the gas streaming velocity.The other one is the necessity to account for the effect of the additional Coriolis and centrifugal forces.Here,a specifically-designed acceleration term is added into the modified Boltzmann equation so that the source effects can be naturally included into the gas evolution process and the resulted fluxes.Under the finitevolume framework,the constructed BGK model is locally solved at each cell interface and then the numerical fluxes can be evaluated.When employing the BGK scheme,it is sometimes found that the calculated spatial derivatives of the initial and equilibrium distribution functions are sensitive to the mesh quality especially in complex rotating flow applications,which may significantly influence flux evaluation.Therefore,an improved approach for computing these slopes is adopted,through which the modeling capability for viscous flows is enhanced.For validation,several numerical examples are presented.The computed results show that the present method can be well applied to a wide range of flows in rotating machinery with favorable accuracy.
