A Novel Fault Diagnosis Scheme for Rolling Bearing Based on Convex Optimization in Synchroextracting Chirplet Transform

Synchroextracting transform (SET) developed from synchrosqueezing transform (SST) is a novel time-frequency (TF) analysis method. Its concentrated TF spectrum is obtained by applying a synchroextracting operator into TF transformation co-efficients on the TF plane. For this class of post-processing TF analysis methods, the main research focuses on the accurate estimation of instantaneous frequency (IF). However, the performance of TF analysis is greatly affected by the strong frequency modulation (FM) signal. In particular, the actual measured mechanical vibration signals always contain strong background noise, which decreases the resolution of TF representation, resulting in an inaccurate ridge extraction. To solve this problem, an improved penalty function based on the convex optimization scheme is firstly introduced for signal denoising. Based on the superiority of the linear chirplet transform (LCT) in dealing with modulated signals, the synchroextracting chirplet transform (SECT) is employed to sharpen the TF representation after the convex optimization denoising operation. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, the numerical simulation signals and the measured fault signals of rolling bearing are carried out, respectively. The results demonstrate that the proposed method leads to a better solution in rolling bearing fault feature extraction.
