The Adaptive Analysis of Shock Signals on the Basis of Improved Morlet Wavelet Clusters

Abstract

Morlet wavelets do not satisfy the permissibility condition of wavelet analysis, and there are therefore no inverse transformations for Morlet wavelet transforms. In this paper, we put forward the Yang and Pan transform (YPT), which is an adaptive discrete analysis method for shock signals. First, we improved the Morlet wavelet so that the centre and radius of the frequency window can be easily adjusted in the frequency domain. Second, we proposed the extremum frequency concept and analysed the extremum situation of the improved Morlet wavelet. Third, combining the improved Morlet wavelet and extremum frequency, we advanced the theory of the YPT, which does not need to satisfy the permissibility condition. We then continued by using a smoothing operator that can smooth the potentially distorted signal reconstructed after being analysed by the YPT and filtered by using the threshold filtering theory. This operator proved to be simple and efficient. Finally, a noisy signal was reconstructed after being analysed and filtered using the YPT and threshold filtering, respectively, to verify the validity of the theory, and the YPT was compared with the discrete wavelet transform (DWT). As a supplement to the theory in engineering, the shock signals about a gun automatic mechanism were also analysed using the theory in this paper. Good results were obtained, thereby demonstrating that the YPT can be helpful to further extract the features of shock signals in pattern recognition and fault diagnosis.

A Novel Method for Intelligent Fault Diagnosis of Bearing Based on Capsule Neural Network

“…Compared with the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) method, the wavelet basis of continuous wavelet transform is no longer a trig function of infinite length, but a wavelet basis function of finite length that will decay. The wavelet basis can be stretched, which solves the problem that the time resolution and the frequency resolution cannot be both [41], so it can better and effectively extract the effective information in the bearing fault time domain signal.…”

Fault Diagnosis of Piezoelectric Sensor Patches for Vibration Control Based on Multifeature Fusion and Improved SVM

“…At present, the research on vibration fault diagnosis technology mostly focuses on the fault detection and diagnosis of vibration components themselves, such as bearings and rotors [1][2][3], although there are few studies on the fault diagnosis of vibration sensors. In fact, in the study of active vibration control, the failure of the vibration sensor has some influence on the results of closed-loop vibration controlling and the stability of the system.…”
