Abstract

In an engineering practice, the faults of rolling bearing are mostly represented as being compound and hard to diagnose. For that, intrinsic time-scale decomposition (ITD) algorithm was combined with Auto-correlation Function (AF) to extract the characteristics of compound faults of rolling bearing in aviation engine. Firstly, ITD algorithm was used to decompose acceleration signal into multiple rotational and residual trend component; secondly, rotational components were reconstructed to figure out their AF; finally, characteristic frequency of rolling bearing under compound faults mode was extracted by Hilbert spectrum envelope. To validate the effectiveness of the method, a comparative study on sensor installation positions and vibration acceleration signal of different compound faults has been carried out. The result of study shows that the proposed ITD-AF method is capable to extract compound fault characteristics of rolling bearing in an effective and precise manner and the installation positions of sensors, rotation speed and fault type shows insensitivity to extraction.

Summary

Introduction

Rolling bearing is one of critical components of aero motor, for which it becomes very important to have effective monitoring on its running status. In the fault diagnosis of bearings, Cheng Junsheng, et al decomposed vibration signal of rolling bearings with ITD algorithm and got several components of proper rotation, the ones of which containing fault information were extracted for permutation entropy as fault characteristic value; classifier of Variable Predictive Model Based Class Discriminate was trained and at last, which was introduced to make fault diagnosis and classification [15], the experimental results show that this method can be effectively used for fault diagnosis of rolling bearing. The effects of noise, interaction between components and signal transmission contributes to the fact that the faults of rolling bearings tend to be complex and weak in the vibration signal. ITD algorithm is combined with AF to complete the research on extracting the characteristic frequency of rolling bearings under the different compound fault types
