Fault diagnosis method for rolling bearings based on the interval support vector domain description

Aiming at the fault classification problem of the rolling bearing under the uncertain structure parameters work condition, this paper proposes a fault diagnosis method based on the interval support vector domain description (ISVDD). Firstly, intrinsic time scale decomposition is performed for vibration signals of the rolling bearing to get the time-frequency spectrum samples. These samples are divided into a training set and a test set. Then, the training set is used to train the ISVDD. Meanwhile, the dynamic decreasing inertia weight particle swarm optimization is applied to improve the training accuracy of ISVDD model. Finally, the performance of the four interval classifiers is calculated in rolling bearing fault test set. The experimental results show the advantages of the ISVDD model: (1) ISVDD can extend the support vector domain description to solve the uncertain interval rolling bearing fault classification problem effectively; (2) The proposed ISVDD has the highest classification accuracy in four interval classification methods for the different rolling bearing fault types.
