Novel Method for Vibration Sensor-Based Instantaneous Defect Frequency Estimation for Rolling Bearings Under Non-Stationary Conditions

Abstract

It is proposed a novel instantaneous frequency estimation technology, multi-generalized demodulation transform, for non-stationary signals, whose true time variations of instantaneous frequencies are unknown and difficult to extract from the time-frequency representation due to essentially noisy environment. Theoretical bases of the novel instantaneous frequency estimation technology are created. The main innovations are summarized as: (a) novel instantaneous frequency estimation technology, multi-generalized demodulation transform, is proposed, (b) novel instantaneous frequency estimation results, obtained by simulation, for four types of amplitude and frequency modulated non-stationary single and multicomponent signals under strong background noise (signal to noise ratio is −5 dB), and (c) novel experimental instantaneous frequency estimation results for defect frequency of rolling bearings for multiple defect frequency harmonics, using the proposed technology in non-stationary conditions and in conditions of different levels of noise interference, including a strong noise interference. Quantitative instantaneous frequency estimation errors are employed to evaluate performance of the proposed IF estimation technology. Simulation and experimental estimation results show high effectiveness of the proposed estimation technology.

Research on acoustic methods for buried PE pipeline detection based on LSTM neural networks

“…Spectral entropy can capture the features of the signal's spectrum, including spectral concentration, randomness, regularity, and information content [35]. Instantaneous frequency and spectral entropy have wide applications in signal processing, communication systems, image processing, biomedical engineering, and other fields [36][37][38][39]. This study utilizes non-stationary signals generated by hammer strikes, thus opting to extract the signal's instantaneous frequency and spectral entropy features.…”

Laplacian Split-BREAK Process with Application in Dynamic Analysis of the World Oil and Gas Market

“…A particular problem arises when the observed time series have a nonstationary dynamic, which usually affects the greater complexity of their stochastic structure (for more recent studies, see, c.f. [9][10][11][12][13][14]). To solve these and similar problems, Engle and Smith [15] proposed the stochastic permanent breaking (STOPBREAK) process, which was later examined by many authors, especially in the domain of structural and permanent changes in the fluctuations of some real-world data [16][17][18][19][20].…”

Procedure Proposal for Minimising the Dynamic Error of Second-Order Sensors

“…Although our procedure involves minimising the dynamic error for second-order sensors [28], it can easily be extended to the sensors with dynamics of different orders. We chose to focus on second-order sensors in this paper because a significant proportion of real sensors are defined by this dynamic order, such as vibration and pressure sensors [28][29][30][31][32], and the mechanical construction of a wide variety of other measurement instruments [33]. The proposed procedure can be applied in both the time and frequency domains [34][35][36], which are used in practical implementations of procedures intended for sensor modelling.…”
