A Vibration Feature Extraction Method Based on Time-Domain Dimensional Parameters and Mahalanobis Distance

Abstract

To accurately describe the characteristics of a signal, the feature parameters in time domain and frequency domain are usually extracted for characterization. However, the total number of feature parameters in time domain and frequency domain exceeds twenty, and all of the feature parameters are used for feature extraction, which will result in a large amount of data processing. For the purpose of using fewer feature parameters to accurately reflect the characteristics of the vibration signal, a simple but effective vibration feature extraction method combining time-domain dimensional parameters (TDDP) and Mahalanobis distance (MD) is proposed, i.e., TDDP-MD. In this method, ten time-domain dimensional parameters are selected to extract fault features, and the distance evaluation technique based on Mahalanobis distance criterion function is also introduced to calculate the feature vector, which can be used to classify different failure types. Finally, the proposed method is applied to fault diagnosis of rolling element bearings, and experimental analysis results show that the proposed method can recognize different failure types accurately and effectively with only ten time-domain dimensional parameters and a small quantity of training samples.

Analysis of the influence of different initial velocities on dynamic performance of multi-layer hard target penetration process

“…To study the impact of the warhead penetration initial velocity on the dynamic performance of missile ejection systems in the process of penetrating multi-layer hard targets, In order to accurately describe the characteristics of signals, feature parameters in the time and frequency domains are usually extracted for characterization [31,32], two finite element models of missile ejection systems with solid structures are adopted in this paper to penetrate three-layer concrete targets. Moreover, corresponding numerical simulation calculations of the penetration process are carried out with initial velocities of 500 m/s, 760 m/s, 1,000 m/s and 1,200 m/s.…”

Utilizing a knowledge-based training algorithm and time-domain extraction for pattern recognition in cylindrical features through vibration and sound signals

“…To address this, there is a growing interest in utilizing machine learning techniques [19] to monitor the condition of 3D printing machines. Specifically, the use of intelligent algorithms, such as Artificial Neural Network (ANN) [20], [21], and other time-domain feature extraction [22] methods based on sound and vibration patterns during printing, have shown promise in detecting and predicting conditions within the printing machines. By recording data with sensors [23] within a soundproof room [24], the ANN can anticipate future signals and vibrations, thereby identifying print results and avoiding filament damage.…”
