Abstract
This paper presents a new scheme for rolling bearing fault diagnosis using texture features extracted from the time–frequency representations (TFRs) of the signal. To derive the proposed texture features, firstly adaptive optimal kernel time frequency representation (AOK-TFR) is applied to extract TFRs of the signal which essentially describe the energy distribution characteristics of the signal over time and frequency domain. Since the AOK-TFR uses the signal-dependent radially Gaussian kernel that adapts over time, it can exactly track the minor variations in the signal and provide an excellent time–frequency concentration in noisy environment. Simulation experiments are furthermore performed in comparison with common time–frequency analysis methods under different noisy conditions. Secondly, the uniform local binary pattern (uLBP), which is a computationally simple and noise-resistant texture analysis method, is used to calculate the histograms from the TFRs to characterize rolling bearing fault information. Finally, the obtained histogram feature vectors are input into the multi-SVM classifier for pattern recognition. We validate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme by several experiments, and comparative results demonstrate that the new fault diagnosis technique performs better than most state-of-the-art techniques, and yet we find that the proposed algorithm possess the adaptivity and noise resistance qualities that could be very useful in real industrial applications.
