Application of EEMD Energy Distribution and Grey Incidence in Gearbox Fault Diagnosis

Abstract:

In this paper, a new comprehensive gearbox fault diagnosis method was proposed based on rank-order morphological filter, ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and grey incidence. Firstly, the rank-order morphological filter was defined and the line structure element was selected for rank-order morphological filter to de-noise the original acceleration vibration signal. Secondly, de-noised gearbox vibration signals were decomposed into a finite number of stationary intrinsic mode functions (IMF) and some IMFs containing the most dominant fault information were calculated the energy distribution. Finally, due to the grey incidence has good classify capacity for small sample pattern identification; these energy distributions could serve as the feature vectors, the grey incidence of different gearbox vibration signals was calculated to identify the fault pattern and condition. Practical results show that the proposed method can be used in gear fault diagnosis effectively.
