The Fast Kurtogram (FK) is a widely used resonance demodulation technique for bearing fault diagnosis. In this paper, a novel method termed Reweighted-Kurtogram with sub-bands rearranged and ensemble dual-tree complex wavelet packet transform (SRE-DTCWPT) is proposed to improve the performance of the FK from the aspects of band division and optimal band selection indicator. To obtain an excellent band division, the SRE-DTCWPT is first developed. It retains the main advantages of DTCWPT and meanwhile addresses the two key issues of frequency sub-bands disorder and frequency bands leakage. Then, a new robust evaluating indicator called reweighted kurtosis is defined. It solves the problem of kurtosis being sensitive to strong impulse interferences. Furthermore, the proposed method involves a set of envelope analysis approaches developed on different cases of fault signals to realize the enhanced identification of the bearing diagnostic information. Two simulated signals and actual bearing signals regarding different practical cases are employed to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed method. In addition, the proposed method is compared with the FK, and the results verify that the proposed method shows high potentials for extracting bearing diagnostic information from complex vibration signals.
