Title Fault Diagnosis Method of Gearbox Multifeature Fusion Based on Quadratic Filter and QPSO-KELM

Effective filtering and noise reduction, feature extraction and fault diagnosis, and prognostics technology are important to Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) of equipment. Therefore, a multifeature fusion fault diagnosis method based on the combination of quadratic filtering and QPSO-KELM algorithm is proposed. In the quadratic filtering, stable filtering can reduce the impact of noise and fast-kurtogram can filtrate fault frequency bands with rich fault information. Then, the time-domain, frequency-domain, and time-frequency parameters of the secondary filter signal are extracted. MSSST was used to analyze the filtered signal, and the time-frequency image was obtained. The time-frequency parameter was extracted from the time-frequency image by 2DPCA, and all the extracted parameters are taken as the fusion fault feature of the gearbox. Finally, the fault feature parameters are taken as the training sample and testing sample of QPSO-KELM for training and testing to achieve the purpose of fault diagnosis. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively filter the noise, complete the fault mode identification of gearbox, and improve the fault diagnosis accuracy better than other methods.
