By multiple comparison analysis, the rational wavelet basis function was determined. Fault characteristic frequencies of hoist gear box were identified. The research indicates that the hoist＇s fault information is non-stationary, and non-stationary signal is clearly extracted by using db20 wavelet as basis function. The db20 wavelet is the proper wavelet base for vibration signal analysis of the hoist gear box.展开更多
