Abstract
Rolling bearings are crucial parts of railway vehicles in the field of transportation engineering. The multivariate signals collected by multiple sensors reflect system’s dynamic characteristic comprehensively. The synchronous decomposition of the multivariate signal contributes to achieving accurate diagnosis. This paper conducts machinery multi-sensor fault diagnosis via multivariate intrinsic multiscale entropy (MIME) analysis and weighted nuisance attribute projection (WNAP). MIME analysis refers to the feature extraction of multivariate band-limited intrinsic mode functions (BLIMFs) by improved multiscale sample entropy (IMSE). Multivariate variational mode decomposition (MVMD) is applied to decompose multivariate signals into multivariate BLIMFs. IMSE is employed to quantitatively extract dynamical features of multivariate BLIMFs, to obtain feature matrices. The interferences caused by various operating conditions are eliminated by the proposed WNAP. The comparative analysis shows that the proposed machinery multi-sensor fault diagnosis approach using MIME analysis and WNAP achieves optimal diagnosis results, with diagnosis accuracy all over 98% statistically.
