Abstract
To achieve a comprehensive and accurate diagnosis of faults in rolling bearings, a method for diagnosing rolling bearing faults has been proposed. This method is based on Multivariate Variational Mode Decomposition (MVMD) signal reconstruction, Multivariate Multiscale Dispersion Entropy (MMDE)-Generalized Normal Distribution Optimization (GNDO), and Marine predators’ algorithm-based optimization support vector machine (MPA-SVM). Firstly, by using a joint evaluation function (energy*|correlation coefficient|), the multi-channel vibration signals of rolling bearings after MVMD decomposition are denoised and reconstructed. Afterward, MMDE is applied to fuse the information from the reconstructed signal and construct a high-dimensional fault feature set. Following that, GNDO is used to select features and extract a subset of low-dimensional features that are sensitive and easy to classify. Finally, MPA is used to realize the adaptive selection of important parameters in the SVM classifier. Fault diagnosis experiments are carried out using datasets provided by the Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) and Paderborn University (PU). The MVMD signal reconstruction method can effectively filter out the noise components of each channel. MMDE-GNDO can availably mine multi-channel fault features and eliminate redundant (or interference) items. The MPA-SVM classifier can identify faults in different working conditions with an average accuracy of 99.72% and 100%, respectively. The results demonstrate the accuracy, efficiency, and stability of the proposed method.
