Fault diagnosis of rolling element bearing compound faults based on sparse no-negative matrix factorization-support vector data description

Abstract

The bispectrum of rolling element bearing compound faults contains abundant fault characteristic information, and how to extract the fault feature effectively is a key problem. The fault diagnosis method of rolling element bearing compound faults based on Sparse No-Negative Matrix Factorization (SNMF)-Support Vector Data Description (SVDD) is proposed in the paper. The figure handling method SNMF is used firstly in fault feature extraction of the bispectrums of rolling element bearing different kinds of compound faults and the sparse coefficient matrices of the bispectrums are obtained. The sparse coefficient matrices are used as training and test input vectors of SVDD. At last, the three kinds of rolling element bearing compound faults (inner race outer race compound faults, outer race rolling element compound faults and inner race outer race rolling element compound faults) are classified correctly. In order to verify the advantages of the proposed method, the diagnosis results of the same three kinds of rolling element bearing compound faults based on No-Negative Matrix Factorization (NMF)-SVDD is used as comparison. The proposed method provides a new idea for fault diagnosis of rolling element bearing compound faults.
