Fault Diagnosis Method for Rotating Machinery Based on Hierarchical Amplitude‐Aware Permutation Entropy and Pairwise Feature Proximity

Abstract

With a view to solving the defect that multiscale amplitude-aware permutation entropy (MAAPE) can only quantify the low-frequency features of time series and ignore the high-frequency features which are equally important, a novel nonlinear time series feature extraction method, hierarchical amplitude-aware permutation entropy (HAAPE), is proposed. By constructing high and low-frequency operators, this method can extract the features of different frequency bands of time series simultaneously, so as to avoid the issue of information loss. In view of its advantages, HAAPE is introduced into the field of fault diagnosis to extract fault features from vibration signals of rotating machinery. Combined with the pairwise feature proximity (PWFP) feature selection method and gray wolf algorithm optimization support vector machine (GWO-SVM), a new intelligent fault diagnosis method for rotating machinery is proposed. In our method, firstly, HAPPE is adopted to extract the original high and low-frequency fault features of rotating machinery. After that, PWFP is used to sort the original features, and the important features are filtered to obtain low-dimensional sensitive feature vectors. Finally, the sensitive feature vectors are input into GWO-SVM for training and testing, so as to realize the fault identification of rotating machinery. The performance of the proposed method is verified using two data sets of bearing and gearbox. The results show that the proposed method enjoys obvious advantages over the existing methods, and the identification accuracy reaches 100%.

Fault Diagnosis of Crack on Gearbox Using Vibration-Based Approaches

“…During the past three decades, diagnostic techniques for the detection of gearbox defects have been intensively researched, including those reported by Dalpiaz et al [10], Ma et al [11], Mohammed et al [12], Saxena et al [13], Wu et al [14], and Li [15]. Rezaei et al [16] detected multicrack locations and lengths from transmission-error ratios.…”
