An order tracking technique for the gear fault diagnosis using local meandecomposition methodJunsheng Cheng, Kang Zhang, Yu YangState Key Laboratory of Advanced Design and Manufacturing for Vehicle Body, Hunan University, Changsha, 410082, PR ChinaCollege of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering, Hunan University, Changsha, 410082, PR Chinaarticle info abstractArticle history:Received 17 November 2010Received in revised form 13 December 2011Accepted 30 April 2012Available online 28 May 2012Local mean decomposition (LMD) is a new self-adaptive timefrequency analysis method,which is particularly suitable for the processing of multi-component amplitude-modulatedand frequency-modulated (AMFM) signals. By using LMD, any complicated signal can bedecomposed into a number of product functions (PFs), each of which is the product of anenvelope signal and a purely frequency modulated signal from which physically meaningfulinstantaneous frequencies can be obtained. Theoretically, each PF is exactly a mono-componentAMFMsignal. Therefore, the procedure of LMD can beregardedastheprocess of demodulation.While fault occurs in gear, the vibration signals would exactly present AMFM characteristics.Therefore, targeting the modulation feature of gear fault vibration signal in run-ups and run-downs and the fact that fault characteristics found in gear vibration signal could often be relatedto revolution of the shaft in the transient process, a gear fault diagnosis method in which ordertracking technique and local mean decomposition is put forward.

IntroductionGears are the important and frequently encountered components in the rotating machines that find widespread industrialapplications. Therefore, the corresponding gear fault diagnosis has been the subject of extensive research.The key step of gear fault diagnosis is the extraction of fault feature. On the one hand, the conventional gear fault diagnosismethods focus on examining the frequency spectrum analysis of vibration signal at a fixed rotation speed. Unfortunately, theinformation obtained thus is only partial because some faults maybe do not respond significantly at the fixed operation speed.Since faults commonly found in gear could often be related to revolution of the shaft, more comprehensive information may beacquired by measuring the gear vibration signal in the process of run-up and run-down 1. In addition, vibration signals derivedfromgearinthetransientprocessthatarespeed-dependentalwaysdisplaynon-stationaryfeature.Iffrequencyspectrumanalysisis directly applied to the non-stationary vibration signal, frequency mixing would occur inevitably, which will bring undesirableeffect to the fault feature extraction. In past research, order-tracking technique, which normally exploits a vibration signalsupplemented with information of shaft speed of rotating machinery, has become one of the significant approaches for faultdiagnosis in rotating machinery 2,3. Essentially, order-tracking technique can transform a non-stationary signal in time domaininto stationary one in angular domain, which can highlight the vibration information related to rotation speed and restrain theunrelated information. Therefore, order tracking is a desirable method to extract gear fault feature in the process of run-up andrun-down.Mechanism and Machine Theory 55 (2012) 6776 Corresponding author at: State Key Laboratory of Advanced Design and Manufacturing for Vehicle Body, Hunan University, Changsha, 410082, PR China.Tel.: +86 731 88664008; fax: +86 731 88711911.E-mail address: (J.

In order to extract the modulation featureof gear fault vibration signals, demodulation analysis is one of the most popular methods 4,5. However, conventionaldemodulation approaches such as Hilbert transform demodulation and traditional envelope analysis have their own limitations6. These drawbacks include two aspects: (1) in practice most gear fault vibration signals are all multi-component AMFMsignals. For these signals, in conventional demodulation approaches, they are usually decomposed into single component AMFMsignals by band-pass filter and then demodulated to extract frequencies and amplitudes information. However, both the numberof the carrier frequency components and the magnitude of the carrier frequency are hard to be determined in practice, so theselection of central frequency of band-pass filter carries great subjectivity that would bring demodulation error and make itineffective to extract the characteristic of machinery fault vibration signal; (2) owing to the inevitable window effect of Hilberttransform, when Hilbert transform is used to extract the modulate information, the demodulation results present non-instantaneous response characteristic, that is, at the two ends of the modulated signal which has been demodulated as well as themiddle part with break would produce modulation again, which makes the amplitude get fluctuation in an exponentialattenuation way, and then the demodulation error would increase 7. In order to overcome the first drawback, an appropriatedecomposition method should be looked for to separate multi-component signal into a number of single component AMFMsignals before the envelope analysis. Since EMD (Empirical mode decomposition) could adaptively decompose a complicatedmulti-component signal into a sum of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) whose instantaneous frequencies have physicalsignificance 8,9, order tracking method based on EMD has been widely used in the gear fault diagnosis 1013. However, therestill exist many deficiencies in EMD such as the end effects 14 and modes mixing 15 that are still underway. In addition, afterthe original signal is decomposed by EMD, the drawback produced by Hilbert transform (above mentioned) is inevitable whenIMF is performed envelope analysis by Hilbert transform. Moreover, sometimes the unexplainable negative instantaneousfrequency would appear when calculating instantaneous frequency by performing Hilbert transform to each IMF 16.Local mean decomposition (LMD) is a novel demodulation analysis method,which is particularlysuitable for the processing ofmulti-component amplitude-modulated and frequency-modulated (AMFM) signals 16. By using LMD, any complicated signalcan be decomposed into a number of product functions (PFs), each of which is the product of an envelope signal (obtaineddirectly by the decomposition) from which instantaneous amplitude of the PF can be obtained and a purely frequency modulatedsignal from which a well-defined instantaneous frequency could be calculated. In essence, each PF is exactly a mono-componentAMFM signal. Therefore, the procedure of LMD could be, in fact, regarded as the process of demodulation. Modulationinformationcan be extracted by performing spectrum analysis to the instantaneous amplitude (envelope signal, obtained directlyby the decomposition) of each PF component rather than by performing Hilbert transform to the PF components. Hence, whenLMD and EMD are applied to the demodulation analysis respectively, compared with EMD, the prominent advantage of LMD is toavoid the Hilberttransform. In addition, the LMD iterationprocess which uses smoothed local means and local magnitudes avoidsthe cubic spline approach used in EMD, which maybe bring the envelope errors and influence on the precision of theinstantaneous frequency and amplitude.Moreover, compared with EMD the end effect is not obvious in LMD approachbecause offaster algorithm speed and less iterative times 17.Based upon the above analysis, order-tracking analysis and the recent development of demodulation techniques, LMD, arecombined and applied to the gear fault diagnosis of various shaft speeds process. Firstly, order tracking technique is used totransformthe gear vibration signals from time domainto angular domain. Secondly,decompose the re-sampling signal of angulardomain by LMD, thus s series PF components and corresponding instantaneous amplitudes and instantaneous frequencies can beobtained.Finally,spectrumanalysisiscarriedoutto theinstantaneousamplitudesof the PFcomponentcontainingdominant faultinformation. The analysis results from the experimental vibration signal show that the proposed method can extract fault featureof the gear effectively and classify working condition accurately.This paper is organized as follows. A theory of the LMD approach is given in Section 2. In Section 3 a gear fault diagnosisapproach in which order tracking technique and LMD are combined is put forward and the practice applications of proposedmethod are demonstrated. In addition, the comparison between LMD-based and EMD-based method is also given in Section 3.Finally, we offer the conclusion in Section 4.2. LMD analysis methodAs mentioned above, the nature of LMD is to demodulate AMFM signals. By using LMD a complicated signal can bedecomposed into a set of product functions, each of which is the product of an envelope signal and a purely frequency modulatedsignal.Furthermore,the completedtimefrequencydistributionoftheoriginalsignalcanbeobtained. Foranysignal x(t),it canbedecomposed as follows 16:(1) Determine all local extrema niof the original signal x(t), and then the mean value miof two successive extrema niand ni+1can be calculated bymini ni121All mean value miof two successive extreme are connected by straight lines, and then local mean function m11(t)can be formed by using moving averaging to smooth the local means mi.68 J.

In other words, envelopefunction a1(n+1)(t) of the resulting s1n(t)shouldsatisfya1(n+1)(t)=1.

If 1a1(n+1)(t)1+ and 1s1n(t)1, then iterativeprocess would be stopped.(5) Envelope signal a1(t), namely, instantaneous amplitude function, can be derived by multiplying together the successiveenvelope estimate functions that are acquired during the iterative process described above.a1ta11ta12ta1ntnq1a1qt 8where q is the times of the iterative process.(6) Multiplying envelope signal a1(t) by the purely frequency modulated signal s1n(t) the first product function PF1of theoriginal signal can be obtained.PF1ta1ts1nt 9PF1contains the highest frequency oscillations of the original signal.

The gear fault diagnosis method based on order tracking technique and LMD3.1. Order tracking analysis and the corresponding fault diagnosis methodOrder-trackingtechniquecouldtransformanon-stationarysignalintimedomainintoastationarysignalinangulardomainbyapplyingequi-angularre-samplingto vibrationsignalwithreference toshaftspeed.Furthermore, orderspectrumcan beobtainedby using spectrum analysis to stationary signal in angular domain, thus the information related to rotation speed can behighlighted and the unrelated one could be restrained. Therefore, order-tracking is suitable for the vibration signal analysis ofrotation machine.There are three popular techniques for producing synchronously sampled data: a traditional hardware solution, computedorder tracking (COT) and order tracking based on estimation of instantaneous frequency 1820. The traditional hardwareapproach, which uses specialized hardware to dynamically adapt the sample rate, is only suitable for the case that rotating speedof shaft is relatively smooth, thus resulting to a high cost. The method of order tracking based on estimation of instantaneousfrequency has no need for specialized hardware and thus cost is relatively low, however, it has failed to analyze multiplecomponent signal. While in practice most gear fault vibration signals exactly present the characteristic of multi-component.Therefore, this technique has little practice significance. COT technique realized equi-angular re-sampling by software, thereforeit not onlyrequires nospecialized hardware,but alsohave nolimitation for analysissignal thatmeans it is more flexibleand moreaccurate. Just for this reason, COT is introduced into the gear fault detection in this paper.The step of the gear fault diagnosis method based on order tracking technique and LMD can be listed as follows:(1) The vibration signals and a tachometer signal are asynchronously sampled, that is, they are sampled conventionally atequal time incrementst;(2) Calculate the time series ticorresponding to equi-angular increments by tachometer signals;(3) According to the time series ti, apply interpolation to the vibration signals, thus the synchronous sampling signal, namely,stationary signal in angular domain, can be obtained;(4) Use LMD to decompose the equi-angular re-sampling signal, thus s series PF componentsand corresponding instantaneousamplitudes and instantaneous frequencies can be acquired;(5) Apply spectrum analysis to the instantaneous amplitude of each PF component, and then we have the order spectrum.3.2. ApplicationSince the gear fault vibration signal in run-up and run-down process are always multiple component AMFM signals and faultfeature frequency would vary with rotation speed, the fault diagnosis method in which order tracking technique and LMD arecombined would be suitable for gear fault detection.To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, the fault diagnosis method based on order tracking technique and LMDwas applied to the experimental gear vibration signals analysis. An experiment has been carried out on the rotating machinerytest rig that is used for modeling different gear faults 21. Here we consider three working conditions that are gear with normalcondition, with cracked tooth and with broken tooth. Standard gears with teeth number z=55 and z=75 are used on input andoutput shafts respectively, in which the crack fault is introduced into the gear on the input shaft by cutting slot with laser in theroot of tooth, and the width of the slot is 0.15 mm, as well as its depth is 0.3 mm. Therefore, the mesh order is xm=55 and thefault feature order is xc=1.Figs. 1 and 2 give the rotation speed signal r(t) picked up by a tachometer and vibration accelerationsignal s(t) of the gear with crack fault collected by a piezoelectric acceleration sensor respectively, in which the sample frequencyis 8192 Hz and total sample time is 20 s, and from which we know the speed of input shaft increased gradually from 150 rpm to1410 rpm, then decreased to 820 rpm. Meantime, the amplitude of vibration acceleration signal accordingly changed, from whicha section of signal s1(t)of5s7 s in the run-up progress is intercepted for further analysis. Fig. 3 gives the spectrum of s1(t)byapplying spectrum analysis directly to vibration signal. For the rotation speed changes with time, the frequency mixing arises.Therefore, it is impossible to find meshing frequency and fault feature frequency in Fig. 3. As a result, actual gear workingcondition cannot be identified. Replace direct spectrum analysis by the order tracking method. Firstly, assume sample point perrotation is 400, namely,the maximum analysis orderis 200. Secondly,angular domainsignal j1() shown in Fig. 4 can be obtainedby performing order re-sampling to s1(t), in which horizontal ordinate has changed from time to radian. Thirdly, thecorresponding order spectrum of j1() can be calculated that is illustrated in Fig. 5, from which we can find obvious spectral peak70 J. Cheng et al.
