A Study on Fault Diagnosis of Gears Based on Local Mean Decomposition Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

In present paper, the effectiveness of local mean decomposition (LMD) method to signals of fault gears, which are multi-component amplitude modulated and frequency modulated, is demonstrated. A series of tests on wearing and broken tooth of gears are conducted. And the fault characteristics extracted by Fourier transform, Hilbert transform and LMD are compared. The results validate that LMD method is an effective way to extract the characteristics of fault gears and improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis of gears since it is able to reduce effect of false components.
