1 Introduction
-e features of vibration signals form the basis of faultdiagnosis of rotating machinery A variety of common faultfeature extraction methods such as the wavelet transform(WT) [1] empirical mode decomposition (EMD) [2] andlocal mean decomposition (LMD) [3 4] are widely used forsuch diagnosis In the WT the wavelet function must bepreset which leads to limitations in the self-adaptability oftheWT-e EMD and LMDmethods adaptively decomposethe signals into a series of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs)and product functions (PFs) respectively according to thecharacteristics of the signal envelope However these tra-ditional methods are suitable only for processing real-valuedata on a single channel [5]
-e fault vibration characteristics from two orthogonalsensors which are placed in various locations on the ma-chine have been shown to be important for diagnosing
faults To improve the reliability of the diagnostic results thefeature extraction method based on multichannel signalfeatures is becoming increasingly more popular
-e orbit of each harmonic from the vibration signals isan ellipse when the rotor runs in a steady state -e faultfeature extraction methods based on homology informationsuch as the holospectrum [6] full spectrum [7] and fullvector spectrum [8] have been proposed in previous reports-e vibration signals in the orthogonal direction can form anellipse Because the homologous information incorporatesthe orthogonal direction of the vibration signal features thediagnostic results are more comprehensive and accurate [9]Fault features can be described by the homologous in-formation through round or elliptical information Un-fortunately in most cases the circle or ellipse informationcan be extracted using only a Fourier transform -ereforethe homologous information method is applicable primarilyto the analysis of stationary signals

-e EMD or LMD methods can locally smooth thenonlinear signal Homologous information technologycombined with EMD and LMD [10 11] has been proposedto extract the features of the nonlinear signal However theEMD and LMD methods decompose the signals from dif-ferent directional sensors individually and separately -ecircle or ellipse information is calculated according to theone-to-one mode principle [11] When the EMD or LMD isused to decompose the orthogonal vibration signals thenumber of decomposition result is nonuniform whichcauses the information fusion to become increasinglychallenging [12] In addition the EMD or LMD method isrelatively sensitive to noise which causes the IMF group orPF group frequency to be inconsistent with other IMF or PFgroups
To improve the capacity of EMD and LMD thesemethods have been extended recently to process multivariatesignals Some examples include bivariate empirical modedecomposition (BEMD) [13] complex local mean de-composition (CLMD) [14] trivariate EMD (TEMD) [15]and multivariate EMD (MEMD) [16] However these ex-tended methods were not specifically developed for machinefault feature extraction In BEMD the local mean of thebivariate signal is calculated by projecting the signal to anumber of directions Following the same idea the TEMDand MEMD were proposed respectively for three-dimensional and n-dimensional signals -e CLMD esti-mates the local mean by projecting only a bivariate signalonto the x- and y-axes -e bivariate EMD has beenemployed to detect wind turbine mechanical and electricalfaults by decomposing the fault signals [5] Here theelectrical signal was analyzed without considering the noiseand the number of BEMD projections -e associated ex-periments indicated that the number of projection directionsaffects the decomposition results particularly when noise isincluded In addition additional false components wereidentified in [5]-eMEMD has also been employed to faultdiagnosis of rolling bearing [17] Methods based on BEMDor MEMD are used to analyze and extract signal charac-teristics in multichannels However the joint informationbetween multiple sensors was not considered in [5 17] -ismethod combined with the CLMD or MEMD and fullspectrum has been proposed to obtain joint informationamong multichannel signals [12 18] -e methods based onCLMD or BEMD simultaneously decompose the signals intomultichannels thus ensuring that the number of de-composition results is the same and is readily incorporatedHowever the instantaneous feature cannot be extracted dueto the elliptical information that was generated using theconventional Fourier transform
-e signals are analyzed as the superposition of slow andfast oscillations in the EMD and the bivariate extension andbivariate signals eg the orthogonal vibrations are analyzedas the superposition of IMFs at the rotational speed in theBEMD To extract the instantaneous vibration characteris-tics and the joint information among the multichannelsignals the fault feature extraction method based on theBEMD is proposed to decompose the multicomponentrotation signal into a series of single-component rotation
signals -e instantaneous amplitude and instantaneousfrequency of the IMFs are further obtained using the Hilberttransform (HT)
2 BriefDescription and Improvement ofBEMD
21 Brief Description of BEMD -e fundamental concept ofBEMD is that bivariate signals are made up of slow rotationsignals and fast rotation signals superimposed on the slowrotation signals [13] For a mixed signal z(t) the de-composition process based on the BEMD is as follows [5]
Step 1 determine the number of projections N andcalculate the projection directions
φn 2nπN
n isin [1 N] (1)
Step 2 project the complex-valued signal z(t) on thedirections φn

Step 3 extract all local maxima of pφn(t) tn

Step 7 subtract m(t) from z(t) to obtain h(t) ie
h(t) z(t)minusm(t) (4)
Step 8 perform sifting process whether the stoppingcriterion similar to the one proposed in [19] is methowever h(t) and m(t) are bivariate signals If notregard h(t) as original signal and repeat Steps 2ndash7 untilthe stopping criterion is metStep 9 record the obtained IMF and remove it fromz(t) ie
c1(t) h(t)
r1(t) z(t)minus c1(t)(5)
Step 10 take r1(t) as the original signal and repeat theabove calculation until the second IMF c2(t) is ob-tained -e remainder is then calculated as follows
r2(t) r1(t)minus c2(t) (6)
Step 11 iterate the previous calculations until acquiringall IMFs contained in z(t)After the above process z(t) can be expressed asfollows

where K represents the total number of IMFs
During the decomposition process the bivariate rotatingsignal is required to rotate around the zero point -e ro-tating machinery often revolves around a central movementwhich coincides with the requirements of the BEMD -epresent study takes the typical Jeffcott rigid rotor-bearingsystem dynamics equation to structure the complex z(z x+ jy) with x and y representing the vibration signalscollected by two orthogonal sensors -e obtained charac-teristics curve is shown in Figure 1 -e BEMD analysis ofthe z(t) with the parameter N of 4 is shown in Figure 2which shows that the target signal is decomposed into bi-variate rotation components at the rotation speed allowinginvestigation of the instantaneous amplitude-frequency(IAF) characteristics of the main components
22 Improved BEMD Method In the original BEMD algo-rithm the loop cutoff condition is such that all IMF com-ponents are obtained from the original signal which leads toadditional IMF components and increases the computingtime of BEMD In most cases the fault characteristics areprimarily contained in the IMFs with a higher energy andthe vibration faults corresponding to the rotational modesare limited In this study the end condition of the BEMDbased on the energy threshold is proposed based on thereasons mentioned above A ratio λ is set and the ratiobetween the signal to be decomposed and the energy of theoriginal signal is less than a specific value that serves as acriterion to stop the BEMD algorithm λ is calculated usingthe following formula

3 IAF Feature Extraction of the BivariateRotation Signal
As noted in Section 2 BEMD decomposes the complex-valued signal of the multiple components into the complex-valued signals of a single component ci is a complex-valuedsignal with ci cxi + jcyi cxi represents the horizontalcomponent of the vibration signal and cyi represents thevertical component of the vibration signal -e HT is aclassical method to obtain the IAF of the signal -e real andthe imaginary components of ci are transformed with the HTto obtain the IAF -e following formulae are established

-e corresponding resolution signal expressions are
xi(t) cxi(t) + j times cxi(t) axi(t)ejΦxi(t)
yi(t) cyi(t) + j times cyi(t) ayi(t)ejΦyi(t)
(10)
where axi and ayi are the instantaneous amplitudes of theanalytic signals of xi and yi respectivelyΦxi andΦyi are thephase functions of xi and yi respectively and
Φxi(t) arctancxi(t)

Φxi(t) arctancxi(t)

-e instantaneous frequency function is derived fromthe phase function

We define axi(t) and fxi(t) as the instantaneous am-plitude and the instantaneous frequency of cxi respectivelyand define ayi(t) and fyi(t) as the instantaneous amplitudeand the instantaneous frequency of cyi respectively
4 Experiment Verification
41 Analysis of the Oil Film Oscillation Signal -e rotor oilfilm oscillation test devices are shown in Figure 3-e signalsare collected using eddy current sensors along the orthog-onal direction to the axis -e first-order critical speed isfound to be in the range of 3200 to 3400 rpm using theresonance phenomena by increasing the speed of the rotortest rig whose speed is increased from 0 to 8331 rpm andthen decreased to 0 Certain oil film vortex and oil filmoscillation phenomena occur during the experiment -edata recording device uses the INV306 collector which has a16-bit 4-way parallel AD converter -e sampling frequencyof the collector was set to 2048Hz in the followingexperiments
-e oil film oscillation signals along x and y (where therotor speed is 6480 rpm) in the horizontal and verticaldirections are collected by eddy current sensors x and y andtheir Fourier spectra are shown in Figure 4 whereX 108Hz is the frequency of the fundamental frequencysignal Let z x+ jy -e three-dimensional time-domainwaveform and the two-dimensional plots of z are shownin Figure 5 Figures 4(b) and 4(d) indicate that the amplitudeof the 048X component is more prominent particularly inthe vertical direction and even exceeds the amplitude of thefundamental frequency signal Figure 5 indicates that theamplitude of the oscillation signals is variable but that theFourier spectra cannot distinguish this change
-e EMD is applied to decompose the signals x and y asshown in Figure 6 -e S1 and S2 columns represent thedecomposition results of x and y respectively -e numberof IMFs generated from signal x is 10 but there are only 8

from signal y e mismatch in the number of IMFs leads tochallenges in information fusion In addition modal aliasingoccurs in IMF1 from signal xemode aliasing obscures thephysical meaning of the IMF components and aects thesubsequent analysis
e decomposition results of the oil lm oscillationsignal using BEMD (N 4) are shown in Figure 7 esignal z is decomposed into eight complex rotationalcomponents c1ndashc8 After decomposition the IMF numbersfrom x are the same as those from y e noise component c1is more easily separated from signal z relative to the case ofIMF1 from signal x c2 and c3 are considered fundamentaland oscillatory components respectively the frequencycomponent of c2 is 108Hz and the frequency of c3 is 52Hze two trajectories composed of c2 and c3 generated by the
BEMD method are shown in Figures 8(a) and 8(b) re-spectively while the corresponding ones of IMF2 and IMF3generated by EMD method are shown in Figures 8(c) and8(d) respectively Figure 8 indicates that the orbit ar-rangements obtained by the BEMD method are superior tothose of the EMD method
Relative to the EMDmethod the decomposition eect isimproved when using BEMD to decompose the oil lmoscillation signal However there are still two problemswhen using BEMD to decompose the oil lm oscillationsignal One is the occurrence of modal aliasing in the IMFsand the other is increased false components From Figure 6the modal aliasing occurs at the end of c4 which causes thevalue of c3 to become small at the end After decompositioneight IMF components and one residual r are obtained

However most of the IMF components contain uselessinformation In most cases the fault characteristics are oftenincluded in higher-energy components -e projection di-rections and the energy end condition based on the energythreshold are increased in the improved BEMD method toenhance the decomposition quality
-e decomposition results of the oil film oscillationsignal are shown in Figure 9 using the improved BEMDmethod (N 16 λ 005) -e oil film oscillation signal isdecomposed into four complex rotational components c1ndashc4
and the remaining component r c1 is considered as the noisecomponent According to the Fourier analysis c2 is thefundamental signal with a frequency of 108Hz and c3 is theoscillation signal with a frequency of 52Hz It is clear thatthe number of IMFs is reduced and the fundamental fre-quency component c2 and the oscillation component c3 aremore accurately extracted from the original signal In par-ticular the value of the c4 end becomes smaller and the valueof the c3 end becomes larger relative to the values of c3 and c4shown in Figure 7 Two trajectories made up of c2 and c3 are

shown in Figure 10 From c2 and c3 three-dimensional timedomain and the trajectories the fundamental frequencysignal c2 has a small elliptic amplitude change c3 is a largeseries of amplitude conversion elliptical compositions thatcause a signicant oscillation Relative to the orbit of c3 inFigure 6 the orbit of c3 in Figure 10 is improved particularlyin the center region
Increasing the number of signal projection directionsresults in an increase in the number of projection signals
en the tangent mean which is obtained by interpolatingthe local maximum of the projected signals with a splineinterpolation is more accurate However it is meaningless tocontinue to increase the number of projection directions whenthe tangent mean is accurately tted It is found that the signaldecomposition results of N 16 are almost the same as N 1024 when considering the complex rotation componentsseparated by the original signal However the calculation timeof the BEMD algorithm with N 1024 is greatly increased

single component fundamental frequency signal and the oillm oscillation signal were not successfully separated Oneof the possible reasons is that in the CLMD algorithm thecomplex signal is only projected onto the x-axis and the y-axis unlike BEMD which projected on multiple directionsIn addition CLMD is a bivariate extension of LMD LMDused a moving average algorithm when tting the signalenvelope which can lter noise to a certain extent esignals other than the noise component c1 in Figure 9 areadded to obtain a ltered oil lm oscillation signal which isthen decomposed by the CLMD method and the rst twodecomposed results are shown in Figure 13 It is seen thatthe single component fundamental frequency signal and
the single component oil lm oscillation signal areseparated

42 Analysis ofOilWhirl Signal Based on the ImprovedBEMDMethod In the method similar to that presented in Section41 the oil whirl signals of the rotor test rig with a speedparameter of 4320 rpm are collected by two orthogonalsensors as shown in Figure 15 e gure shows the typicalwhirl phenomenon of large circles with embedded smallerones e decomposition results based on the improvedBEMD method (N 16 λ 005) are shown in Figure 16
Only three IMFs appear in Figure 16 and the singlecomponents c2 and c3 and the noise component c1 are suc-cessfully separated from the original signal e HT is appliedto the real and imaginary parts of c2 and c3 respectively andthe instantaneous frequency and instantaneous amplitude areobtained as shown in Figure 17 e three-dimensional timedomain of ax2 and ay2 and of ax3 and ay3 is shown in Figure 18Figure 17 indicates that the frequency of c2 is approximatelytwice the frequency of c3 and that ax2 is larger than ay2 Inaddition ay3 is slightly larger than ax3 but the range of changefor ax3 is greater than the range for ay3 It is inferred that c2 isthe fundamental frequency signal and that c3 is the half-frequency signal in the oil whirl signal
43 Analysis of Looseness and Rotor Rubbing Composite FaultSignal Based on the Improved BEMD Method Loose androtor rubbing composite faults are set on the testequipment shown in Figure 3 in Section 41 Loose fault isset on the nondrive end of the motor and the distancebetween the plastic rod and the shaft is xed near thesensor on the left side of the disk As the rotor speedincreases the vibration increases and the rubbing faultoccurs which is stable at around 1700 rmin e com-posite fault signals are collected by two orthogonal sen-sors as shown in Figure 19 e decomposition resultsbased on the improved BEMD method are shown inFigure 20
Figures 19(c) and 19(d) indicate that the signal com-ponent mainly contain 1X 2X (X 28Hz) and a frequencymodulated signal generated due to time-varying stinessis phenomenon is similar to that described reference [20]Four IMFs appear in Figure 20 and the single components1X 2X signals and the FM signal c2 are successfully separatedfrom the original signal e HT is applied to the real andimaginary parts of c2 c3 and c4 respectively and the in-stantaneous frequency and instantaneous amplitude areobtained as shown in Figure 21 ere are some uctuationsin the frequencies of c2 and c3 but these uctuations aredierent from the random uctuations in the above casesey have obvious regularity and are characteristic of FMsignals e frequency modulation characteristics of c2 aremore obvious than those of c3 In addition by observing theinstantaneous amplitude of c2 it is seen that c2 is still anamplitude modulation signal

In order to further verify the correctness of the in-stantaneous amplitude-frequency characteristics of theproposed method the real and imaginary parts of thecomposite fault signal z are analyzed separately using syn-chrosqueezed wavelet transforms (SWT) proposed in ref-erence [21]-e results are shown in Figure 22 It is seen thatthe time-frequency representations of the composite faultsignal z also include the AM-FM signal and the 1X signalwhich proves the correctness of the proposed methodCompared with the SWT method the instantaneousamplitude-frequency characteristics acquired by the HTmethod are relatively straightforward

signal c2 is considered to represent the extracted bistablebehavior signals -e HT is applied to the real andimaginary parts of c2 to obtain the instantaneous amplitudeand frequency of c2 from the left and right columns fromFigure 25 as shown in Figure 26 Figure 27 shows thethree-dimensional time domain of ax2 and ay2 from the leftand right columns respectively Figure 26 shows that thevibration signal amplitude on the left side of the fan de-creases from large to small opposite of the behavior ofthe right -e horizontal vibration signal amplitude on theleft side of the fan is larger than that of the vertical di-rection signal opposite of the right -is result validatesthat the vibration signals from different directions orpositions are different when the fan produces bistablebehavior In addition the time of the bistable behavior canbe determined according to the jump point of the am-plitude or frequency
5 Discussion
-e BEMD algorithm decomposes two orthogonal di-rections of vibration signals as a complex signal which is atwo-dimensional digital signal processing method thusensuring that the real and imaginary parts have the samedecomposition scale Similar to EMD the envelope mean iscritical for the decomposition effect of BEMD but the en-velope mean in BEMD is three-dimensional If the numberof projection directions of the complex signal in three-dimensional space is larger the corresponding envelope
signal is also more -us the envelope mean value is moreaccurate and the BEMD decomposition effect is betterIncreasing the number of projection directions can improvemodal aliasing Like EMD BEMD also produces falsecomponents when decomposing signals Generally speakingthe energy of the false components is low and these low-energy false components do not contain fault characteristicinformation and the introduction of the energy thresholdcriterion in the termination condition can increase thedecomposition speed of the BEMD
-e experimental results show that there is a certaindifference in the existence of vibration signal character-istics in different directions when rotating machinery failsIn addition when the number of projection directionsis increased the decomposition speed of BEMD willdecrease
6 Conclusions
We use BEMD and HT to extract the instantaneousamplitude-frequency features of rotor faults A bivariateinstantaneous feature extraction method based on the im-proved BEMD method and the HT is investigated whichextends the fault feature extraction technology to two di-mensions -e BEMD method is suitable to analyze thecomplex multicomponent bivariate signals -e mainsingle-component bivariate signals are separated from themulticomponent bivariate signals of the fan rotor bistabilityfor the oil film oscillation and the oil film vortex using the

-e EMD or LMD methods can locally smooth thenonlinear signal Homologous information technologycombined with EMD and LMD [10 11] has been proposedto extract the features of the nonlinear signal However theEMD and LMD methods decompose the signals from dif-ferent directional sensors individually and separately -ecircle or ellipse information is calculated according to theone-to-one mode principle [11] When the EMD or LMD isused to decompose the orthogonal vibration signals thenumber of decomposition result is nonuniform whichcauses the information fusion to become increasinglychallenging [12] In addition the EMD or LMD method isrelatively sensitive to noise which causes the IMF group orPF group frequency to be inconsistent with other IMF or PFgroups
To improve the capacity of EMD and LMD thesemethods have been extended recently to process multivariatesignals Some examples include bivariate empirical modedecomposition (BEMD) [13] complex local mean de-composition (CLMD) [14] trivariate EMD (TEMD) [15]and multivariate EMD (MEMD) [16] However these ex-tended methods were not specifically developed for machinefault feature extraction In BEMD the local mean of thebivariate signal is calculated by projecting the signal to anumber of directions Following the same idea the TEMDand MEMD were proposed respectively for three-dimensional and n-dimensional signals -e CLMD esti-mates the local mean by projecting only a bivariate signalonto the x- and y-axes -e bivariate EMD has beenemployed to detect wind turbine mechanical and electricalfaults by decomposing the fault signals [5] Here theelectrical signal was analyzed without considering the noiseand the number of BEMD projections -e associated ex-periments indicated that the number of projection directionsaffects the decomposition results particularly when noise isincluded In addition additional false components wereidentified in [5]-eMEMD has also been employed to faultdiagnosis of rolling bearing [17] Methods based on BEMDor MEMD are used to analyze and extract signal charac-teristics in multichannels However the joint informationbetween multiple sensors was not considered in [5 17] -ismethod combined with the CLMD or MEMD and fullspectrum has been proposed to obtain joint informationamong multichannel signals [12 18] -e methods based onCLMD or BEMD simultaneously decompose the signals intomultichannels thus ensuring that the number of de-composition results is the same and is readily incorporatedHowever the instantaneous feature cannot be extracted dueto the elliptical information that was generated using theconventional Fourier transform
-e signals are analyzed as the superposition of slow andfast oscillations in the EMD and the bivariate extension andbivariate signals eg the orthogonal vibrations are analyzedas the superposition of IMFs at the rotational speed in theBEMD To extract the instantaneous vibration characteris-tics and the joint information among the multichannelsignals the fault feature extraction method based on theBEMD is proposed to decompose the multicomponentrotation signal into a series of single-component rotation
signals -e instantaneous amplitude and instantaneousfrequency of the IMFs are further obtained using the Hilberttransform (HT)
2 BriefDescription and Improvement ofBEMD
21 Brief Description of BEMD -e fundamental concept ofBEMD is that bivariate signals are made up of slow rotationsignals and fast rotation signals superimposed on the slowrotation signals [13] For a mixed signal z(t) the de-composition process based on the BEMD is as follows [5]
Step 1 determine the number of projections N andcalculate the projection directions
φn 2nπN
n isin [1 N] (1)
Step 2 project the complex-valued signal z(t) on thedirections φn

Step 3 extract all local maxima of pφn(t) tn

Step 7 subtract m(t) from z(t) to obtain h(t) ie
h(t) z(t)minusm(t) (4)
Step 8 perform sifting process whether the stoppingcriterion similar to the one proposed in [19] is methowever h(t) and m(t) are bivariate signals If notregard h(t) as original signal and repeat Steps 2ndash7 untilthe stopping criterion is metStep 9 record the obtained IMF and remove it fromz(t) ie
c1(t) h(t)
r1(t) z(t)minus c1(t)(5)
Step 10 take r1(t) as the original signal and repeat theabove calculation until the second IMF c2(t) is ob-tained -e remainder is then calculated as follows
r2(t) r1(t)minus c2(t) (6)
Step 11 iterate the previous calculations until acquiringall IMFs contained in z(t)After the above process z(t) can be expressed asfollows

where K represents the total number of IMFs
During the decomposition process the bivariate rotatingsignal is required to rotate around the zero point -e ro-tating machinery often revolves around a central movementwhich coincides with the requirements of the BEMD -epresent study takes the typical Jeffcott rigid rotor-bearingsystem dynamics equation to structure the complex z(z x+ jy) with x and y representing the vibration signalscollected by two orthogonal sensors -e obtained charac-teristics curve is shown in Figure 1 -e BEMD analysis ofthe z(t) with the parameter N of 4 is shown in Figure 2which shows that the target signal is decomposed into bi-variate rotation components at the rotation speed allowinginvestigation of the instantaneous amplitude-frequency(IAF) characteristics of the main components
22 Improved BEMD Method In the original BEMD algo-rithm the loop cutoff condition is such that all IMF com-ponents are obtained from the original signal which leads toadditional IMF components and increases the computingtime of BEMD In most cases the fault characteristics areprimarily contained in the IMFs with a higher energy andthe vibration faults corresponding to the rotational modesare limited In this study the end condition of the BEMDbased on the energy threshold is proposed based on thereasons mentioned above A ratio λ is set and the ratiobetween the signal to be decomposed and the energy of theoriginal signal is less than a specific value that serves as acriterion to stop the BEMD algorithm λ is calculated usingthe following formula

3 IAF Feature Extraction of the BivariateRotation Signal
As noted in Section 2 BEMD decomposes the complex-valued signal of the multiple components into the complex-valued signals of a single component ci is a complex-valuedsignal with ci cxi + jcyi cxi represents the horizontalcomponent of the vibration signal and cyi represents thevertical component of the vibration signal -e HT is aclassical method to obtain the IAF of the signal -e real andthe imaginary components of ci are transformed with the HTto obtain the IAF -e following formulae are established
cxi(t) 1π

minusinfin
cxi(τ)
tminus τdτ
cyi(t) 1π

(9)
-e corresponding resolution signal expressions are
xi(t) cxi(t) + j times cxi(t) axi(t)ejΦxi(t)
yi(t) cyi(t) + j times cyi(t) ayi(t)ejΦyi(t)
(10)
where axi and ayi are the instantaneous amplitudes of theanalytic signals of xi and yi respectivelyΦxi andΦyi are thephase functions of xi and yi respectively and
Φxi(t) arctancxi(t)
cxi(t)1113890 1113891
Φxi(t) arctancxi(t)
cxi(t)1113890 1113891

-e instantaneous frequency function is derived fromthe phase function

We define axi(t) and fxi(t) as the instantaneous am-plitude and the instantaneous frequency of cxi respectivelyand define ayi(t) and fyi(t) as the instantaneous amplitudeand the instantaneous frequency of cyi respectively
4 Experiment Verification
41 Analysis of the Oil Film Oscillation Signal -e rotor oilfilm oscillation test devices are shown in Figure 3-e signalsare collected using eddy current sensors along the orthog-onal direction to the axis -e first-order critical speed isfound to be in the range of 3200 to 3400 rpm using theresonance phenomena by increasing the speed of the rotortest rig whose speed is increased from 0 to 8331 rpm andthen decreased to 0 Certain oil film vortex and oil filmoscillation phenomena occur during the experiment -edata recording device uses the INV306 collector which has a16-bit 4-way parallel AD converter -e sampling frequencyof the collector was set to 2048Hz in the followingexperiments
-e oil film oscillation signals along x and y (where therotor speed is 6480 rpm) in the horizontal and verticaldirections are collected by eddy current sensors x and y andtheir Fourier spectra are shown in Figure 4 whereX 108Hz is the frequency of the fundamental frequencysignal Let z x+ jy -e three-dimensional time-domainwaveform and the two-dimensional plots of z are shownin Figure 5 Figures 4(b) and 4(d) indicate that the amplitudeof the 048X component is more prominent particularly inthe vertical direction and even exceeds the amplitude of thefundamental frequency signal Figure 5 indicates that theamplitude of the oscillation signals is variable but that theFourier spectra cannot distinguish this change
-e EMD is applied to decompose the signals x and y asshown in Figure 6 -e S1 and S2 columns represent thedecomposition results of x and y respectively -e numberof IMFs generated from signal x is 10 but there are only 8

from signal y e mismatch in the number of IMFs leads tochallenges in information fusion In addition modal aliasingoccurs in IMF1 from signal xemode aliasing obscures thephysical meaning of the IMF components and aects thesubsequent analysis
e decomposition results of the oil lm oscillationsignal using BEMD (N 4) are shown in Figure 7 esignal z is decomposed into eight complex rotationalcomponents c1ndashc8 After decomposition the IMF numbersfrom x are the same as those from y e noise component c1is more easily separated from signal z relative to the case ofIMF1 from signal x c2 and c3 are considered fundamentaland oscillatory components respectively the frequencycomponent of c2 is 108Hz and the frequency of c3 is 52Hze two trajectories composed of c2 and c3 generated by the
BEMD method are shown in Figures 8(a) and 8(b) re-spectively while the corresponding ones of IMF2 and IMF3generated by EMD method are shown in Figures 8(c) and8(d) respectively Figure 8 indicates that the orbit ar-rangements obtained by the BEMD method are superior tothose of the EMD method
Relative to the EMDmethod the decomposition eect isimproved when using BEMD to decompose the oil lmoscillation signal However there are still two problemswhen using BEMD to decompose the oil lm oscillationsignal One is the occurrence of modal aliasing in the IMFsand the other is increased false components From Figure 6the modal aliasing occurs at the end of c4 which causes thevalue of c3 to become small at the end After decompositioneight IMF components and one residual r are obtained

However most of the IMF components contain uselessinformation In most cases the fault characteristics are oftenincluded in higher-energy components -e projection di-rections and the energy end condition based on the energythreshold are increased in the improved BEMD method toenhance the decomposition quality
-e decomposition results of the oil film oscillationsignal are shown in Figure 9 using the improved BEMDmethod (N 16 λ 005) -e oil film oscillation signal isdecomposed into four complex rotational components c1ndashc4
and the remaining component r c1 is considered as the noisecomponent According to the Fourier analysis c2 is thefundamental signal with a frequency of 108Hz and c3 is theoscillation signal with a frequency of 52Hz It is clear thatthe number of IMFs is reduced and the fundamental fre-quency component c2 and the oscillation component c3 aremore accurately extracted from the original signal In par-ticular the value of the c4 end becomes smaller and the valueof the c3 end becomes larger relative to the values of c3 and c4shown in Figure 7 Two trajectories made up of c2 and c3 are

shown in Figure 10 From c2 and c3 three-dimensional timedomain and the trajectories the fundamental frequencysignal c2 has a small elliptic amplitude change c3 is a largeseries of amplitude conversion elliptical compositions thatcause a signicant oscillation Relative to the orbit of c3 inFigure 6 the orbit of c3 in Figure 10 is improved particularlyin the center region
Increasing the number of signal projection directionsresults in an increase in the number of projection signals
en the tangent mean which is obtained by interpolatingthe local maximum of the projected signals with a splineinterpolation is more accurate However it is meaningless tocontinue to increase the number of projection directions whenthe tangent mean is accurately tted It is found that the signaldecomposition results of N 16 are almost the same as N 1024 when considering the complex rotation componentsseparated by the original signal However the calculation timeof the BEMD algorithm with N 1024 is greatly increased

Only three IMFs appear in Figure 16 and the singlecomponents c2 and c3 and the noise component c1 are suc-cessfully separated from the original signal e HT is appliedto the real and imaginary parts of c2 and c3 respectively andthe instantaneous frequency and instantaneous amplitude areobtained as shown in Figure 17 e three-dimensional timedomain of ax2 and ay2 and of ax3 and ay3 is shown in Figure 18Figure 17 indicates that the frequency of c2 is approximatelytwice the frequency of c3 and that ax2 is larger than ay2 Inaddition ay3 is slightly larger than ax3 but the range of changefor ax3 is greater than the range for ay3 It is inferred that c2 isthe fundamental frequency signal and that c3 is the half-frequency signal in the oil whirl signal
43 Analysis of Looseness and Rotor Rubbing Composite FaultSignal Based on the Improved BEMD Method Loose androtor rubbing composite faults are set on the testequipment shown in Figure 3 in Section 41 Loose fault isset on the nondrive end of the motor and the distancebetween the plastic rod and the shaft is xed near thesensor on the left side of the disk As the rotor speedincreases the vibration increases and the rubbing faultoccurs which is stable at around 1700 rmin e com-posite fault signals are collected by two orthogonal sen-sors as shown in Figure 19 e decomposition resultsbased on the improved BEMD method are shown inFigure 20
Figures 19(c) and 19(d) indicate that the signal com-ponent mainly contain 1X 2X (X 28Hz) and a frequencymodulated signal generated due to time-varying stinessis phenomenon is similar to that described reference [20]Four IMFs appear in Figure 20 and the single components1X 2X signals and the FM signal c2 are successfully separatedfrom the original signal e HT is applied to the real andimaginary parts of c2 c3 and c4 respectively and the in-stantaneous frequency and instantaneous amplitude areobtained as shown in Figure 21 ere are some uctuationsin the frequencies of c2 and c3 but these uctuations aredierent from the random uctuations in the above casesey have obvious regularity and are characteristic of FMsignals e frequency modulation characteristics of c2 aremore obvious than those of c3 In addition by observing theinstantaneous amplitude of c2 it is seen that c2 is still anamplitude modulation signal

In order to further verify the correctness of the in-stantaneous amplitude-frequency characteristics of theproposed method the real and imaginary parts of thecomposite fault signal z are analyzed separately using syn-chrosqueezed wavelet transforms (SWT) proposed in ref-erence [21]-e results are shown in Figure 22 It is seen thatthe time-frequency representations of the composite faultsignal z also include the AM-FM signal and the 1X signalwhich proves the correctness of the proposed methodCompared with the SWT method the instantaneousamplitude-frequency characteristics acquired by the HTmethod are relatively straightforward
44 lte Bistable Behavior Analysis of the Fan Rotor Based onBEMD -e bistability of the rotor is a nonlinear behaviorof the rotor-bearing system which is the state in which therotor jumps from one stable state to another forming astep -e bivariate signal of the bistable behavior iscomposed of two signals collected by two displacementsensors from orthogonal locations on the experimentaldevices in literature [22] as shown in Figure 23 Literature[22] shows that the cause of the bistable behavior remainsto be further explored -is paper uses this case to il-lustrate the feasibility of BEMD to analyze nonstationarysignals

signal c2 is considered to represent the extracted bistablebehavior signals -e HT is applied to the real andimaginary parts of c2 to obtain the instantaneous amplitudeand frequency of c2 from the left and right columns fromFigure 25 as shown in Figure 26 Figure 27 shows thethree-dimensional time domain of ax2 and ay2 from the leftand right columns respectively Figure 26 shows that thevibration signal amplitude on the left side of the fan de-creases from large to small opposite of the behavior ofthe right -e horizontal vibration signal amplitude on theleft side of the fan is larger than that of the vertical di-rection signal opposite of the right -is result validatesthat the vibration signals from different directions orpositions are different when the fan produces bistablebehavior In addition the time of the bistable behavior canbe determined according to the jump point of the am-plitude or frequency
5 Discussion
-e BEMD algorithm decomposes two orthogonal di-rections of vibration signals as a complex signal which is atwo-dimensional digital signal processing method thusensuring that the real and imaginary parts have the samedecomposition scale Similar to EMD the envelope mean iscritical for the decomposition effect of BEMD but the en-velope mean in BEMD is three-dimensional If the numberof projection directions of the complex signal in three-dimensional space is larger the corresponding envelope
signal is also more -us the envelope mean value is moreaccurate and the BEMD decomposition effect is betterIncreasing the number of projection directions can improvemodal aliasing Like EMD BEMD also produces falsecomponents when decomposing signals Generally speakingthe energy of the false components is low and these low-energy false components do not contain fault characteristicinformation and the introduction of the energy thresholdcriterion in the termination condition can increase thedecomposition speed of the BEMD
-e experimental results show that there is a certaindifference in the existence of vibration signal character-istics in different directions when rotating machinery failsIn addition when the number of projection directionsis increased the decomposition speed of BEMD willdecrease
6 Conclusions
We use BEMD and HT to extract the instantaneousamplitude-frequency features of rotor faults A bivariateinstantaneous feature extraction method based on the im-proved BEMD method and the HT is investigated whichextends the fault feature extraction technology to two di-mensions -e BEMD method is suitable to analyze thecomplex multicomponent bivariate signals -e mainsingle-component bivariate signals are separated from themulticomponent bivariate signals of the fan rotor bistabilityfor the oil film oscillation and the oil film vortex using the

During the decomposition process the bivariate rotatingsignal is required to rotate around the zero point -e ro-tating machinery often revolves around a central movementwhich coincides with the requirements of the BEMD -epresent study takes the typical Jeffcott rigid rotor-bearingsystem dynamics equation to structure the complex z(z x+ jy) with x and y representing the vibration signalscollected by two orthogonal sensors -e obtained charac-teristics curve is shown in Figure 1 -e BEMD analysis ofthe z(t) with the parameter N of 4 is shown in Figure 2which shows that the target signal is decomposed into bi-variate rotation components at the rotation speed allowinginvestigation of the instantaneous amplitude-frequency(IAF) characteristics of the main components
22 Improved BEMD Method In the original BEMD algo-rithm the loop cutoff condition is such that all IMF com-ponents are obtained from the original signal which leads toadditional IMF components and increases the computingtime of BEMD In most cases the fault characteristics areprimarily contained in the IMFs with a higher energy andthe vibration faults corresponding to the rotational modesare limited In this study the end condition of the BEMDbased on the energy threshold is proposed based on thereasons mentioned above A ratio λ is set and the ratiobetween the signal to be decomposed and the energy of theoriginal signal is less than a specific value that serves as acriterion to stop the BEMD algorithm λ is calculated usingthe following formula

3 IAF Feature Extraction of the BivariateRotation Signal
As noted in Section 2 BEMD decomposes the complex-valued signal of the multiple components into the complex-valued signals of a single component ci is a complex-valuedsignal with ci cxi + jcyi cxi represents the horizontalcomponent of the vibration signal and cyi represents thevertical component of the vibration signal -e HT is aclassical method to obtain the IAF of the signal -e real andthe imaginary components of ci are transformed with the HTto obtain the IAF -e following formulae are established

-e corresponding resolution signal expressions are
xi(t) cxi(t) + j times cxi(t) axi(t)ejΦxi(t)
yi(t) cyi(t) + j times cyi(t) ayi(t)ejΦyi(t)
(10)
where axi and ayi are the instantaneous amplitudes of theanalytic signals of xi and yi respectivelyΦxi andΦyi are thephase functions of xi and yi respectively and

We define axi(t) and fxi(t) as the instantaneous am-plitude and the instantaneous frequency of cxi respectivelyand define ayi(t) and fyi(t) as the instantaneous amplitudeand the instantaneous frequency of cyi respectively
4 Experiment Verification
41 Analysis of the Oil Film Oscillation Signal -e rotor oilfilm oscillation test devices are shown in Figure 3-e signalsare collected using eddy current sensors along the orthog-onal direction to the axis -e first-order critical speed isfound to be in the range of 3200 to 3400 rpm using theresonance phenomena by increasing the speed of the rotortest rig whose speed is increased from 0 to 8331 rpm andthen decreased to 0 Certain oil film vortex and oil filmoscillation phenomena occur during the experiment -edata recording device uses the INV306 collector which has a16-bit 4-way parallel AD converter -e sampling frequencyof the collector was set to 2048Hz in the followingexperiments
-e oil film oscillation signals along x and y (where therotor speed is 6480 rpm) in the horizontal and verticaldirections are collected by eddy current sensors x and y andtheir Fourier spectra are shown in Figure 4 whereX 108Hz is the frequency of the fundamental frequencysignal Let z x+ jy -e three-dimensional time-domainwaveform and the two-dimensional plots of z are shownin Figure 5 Figures 4(b) and 4(d) indicate that the amplitudeof the 048X component is more prominent particularly inthe vertical direction and even exceeds the amplitude of thefundamental frequency signal Figure 5 indicates that theamplitude of the oscillation signals is variable but that theFourier spectra cannot distinguish this change
-e EMD is applied to decompose the signals x and y asshown in Figure 6 -e S1 and S2 columns represent thedecomposition results of x and y respectively -e numberof IMFs generated from signal x is 10 but there are only 8

from signal y e mismatch in the number of IMFs leads tochallenges in information fusion In addition modal aliasingoccurs in IMF1 from signal xemode aliasing obscures thephysical meaning of the IMF components and aects thesubsequent analysis
e decomposition results of the oil lm oscillationsignal using BEMD (N 4) are shown in Figure 7 esignal z is decomposed into eight complex rotationalcomponents c1ndashc8 After decomposition the IMF numbersfrom x are the same as those from y e noise component c1is more easily separated from signal z relative to the case ofIMF1 from signal x c2 and c3 are considered fundamentaland oscillatory components respectively the frequencycomponent of c2 is 108Hz and the frequency of c3 is 52Hze two trajectories composed of c2 and c3 generated by the
BEMD method are shown in Figures 8(a) and 8(b) re-spectively while the corresponding ones of IMF2 and IMF3generated by EMD method are shown in Figures 8(c) and8(d) respectively Figure 8 indicates that the orbit ar-rangements obtained by the BEMD method are superior tothose of the EMD method
Relative to the EMDmethod the decomposition eect isimproved when using BEMD to decompose the oil lmoscillation signal However there are still two problemswhen using BEMD to decompose the oil lm oscillationsignal One is the occurrence of modal aliasing in the IMFsand the other is increased false components From Figure 6the modal aliasing occurs at the end of c4 which causes thevalue of c3 to become small at the end After decompositioneight IMF components and one residual r are obtained

However most of the IMF components contain uselessinformation In most cases the fault characteristics are oftenincluded in higher-energy components -e projection di-rections and the energy end condition based on the energythreshold are increased in the improved BEMD method toenhance the decomposition quality
-e decomposition results of the oil film oscillationsignal are shown in Figure 9 using the improved BEMDmethod (N 16 λ 005) -e oil film oscillation signal isdecomposed into four complex rotational components c1ndashc4
and the remaining component r c1 is considered as the noisecomponent According to the Fourier analysis c2 is thefundamental signal with a frequency of 108Hz and c3 is theoscillation signal with a frequency of 52Hz It is clear thatthe number of IMFs is reduced and the fundamental fre-quency component c2 and the oscillation component c3 aremore accurately extracted from the original signal In par-ticular the value of the c4 end becomes smaller and the valueof the c3 end becomes larger relative to the values of c3 and c4shown in Figure 7 Two trajectories made up of c2 and c3 are

shown in Figure 10 From c2 and c3 three-dimensional timedomain and the trajectories the fundamental frequencysignal c2 has a small elliptic amplitude change c3 is a largeseries of amplitude conversion elliptical compositions thatcause a signicant oscillation Relative to the orbit of c3 inFigure 6 the orbit of c3 in Figure 10 is improved particularlyin the center region
Increasing the number of signal projection directionsresults in an increase in the number of projection signals
en the tangent mean which is obtained by interpolatingthe local maximum of the projected signals with a splineinterpolation is more accurate However it is meaningless tocontinue to increase the number of projection directions whenthe tangent mean is accurately tted It is found that the signaldecomposition results of N 16 are almost the same as N 1024 when considering the complex rotation componentsseparated by the original signal However the calculation timeof the BEMD algorithm with N 1024 is greatly increased

single component fundamental frequency signal and the oillm oscillation signal were not successfully separated Oneof the possible reasons is that in the CLMD algorithm thecomplex signal is only projected onto the x-axis and the y-axis unlike BEMD which projected on multiple directionsIn addition CLMD is a bivariate extension of LMD LMDused a moving average algorithm when tting the signalenvelope which can lter noise to a certain extent esignals other than the noise component c1 in Figure 9 areadded to obtain a ltered oil lm oscillation signal which isthen decomposed by the CLMD method and the rst twodecomposed results are shown in Figure 13 It is seen thatthe single component fundamental frequency signal and
the single component oil lm oscillation signal areseparated

Only three IMFs appear in Figure 16 and the singlecomponents c2 and c3 and the noise component c1 are suc-cessfully separated from the original signal e HT is appliedto the real and imaginary parts of c2 and c3 respectively andthe instantaneous frequency and instantaneous amplitude areobtained as shown in Figure 17 e three-dimensional timedomain of ax2 and ay2 and of ax3 and ay3 is shown in Figure 18Figure 17 indicates that the frequency of c2 is approximatelytwice the frequency of c3 and that ax2 is larger than ay2 Inaddition ay3 is slightly larger than ax3 but the range of changefor ax3 is greater than the range for ay3 It is inferred that c2 isthe fundamental frequency signal and that c3 is the half-frequency signal in the oil whirl signal

Figures 19(c) and 19(d) indicate that the signal com-ponent mainly contain 1X 2X (X 28Hz) and a frequencymodulated signal generated due to time-varying stinessis phenomenon is similar to that described reference [20]Four IMFs appear in Figure 20 and the single components1X 2X signals and the FM signal c2 are successfully separatedfrom the original signal e HT is applied to the real andimaginary parts of c2 c3 and c4 respectively and the in-stantaneous frequency and instantaneous amplitude areobtained as shown in Figure 21 ere are some uctuationsin the frequencies of c2 and c3 but these uctuations aredierent from the random uctuations in the above casesey have obvious regularity and are characteristic of FMsignals e frequency modulation characteristics of c2 aremore obvious than those of c3 In addition by observing theinstantaneous amplitude of c2 it is seen that c2 is still anamplitude modulation signal

In order to further verify the correctness of the in-stantaneous amplitude-frequency characteristics of theproposed method the real and imaginary parts of thecomposite fault signal z are analyzed separately using syn-chrosqueezed wavelet transforms (SWT) proposed in ref-erence [21]-e results are shown in Figure 22 It is seen thatthe time-frequency representations of the composite faultsignal z also include the AM-FM signal and the 1X signalwhich proves the correctness of the proposed methodCompared with the SWT method the instantaneousamplitude-frequency characteristics acquired by the HTmethod are relatively straightforward
44 lte Bistable Behavior Analysis of the Fan Rotor Based onBEMD -e bistability of the rotor is a nonlinear behaviorof the rotor-bearing system which is the state in which therotor jumps from one stable state to another forming astep -e bivariate signal of the bistable behavior iscomposed of two signals collected by two displacementsensors from orthogonal locations on the experimentaldevices in literature [22] as shown in Figure 23 Literature[22] shows that the cause of the bistable behavior remainsto be further explored -is paper uses this case to il-lustrate the feasibility of BEMD to analyze nonstationarysignals

signal c2 is considered to represent the extracted bistablebehavior signals -e HT is applied to the real andimaginary parts of c2 to obtain the instantaneous amplitudeand frequency of c2 from the left and right columns fromFigure 25 as shown in Figure 26 Figure 27 shows thethree-dimensional time domain of ax2 and ay2 from the leftand right columns respectively Figure 26 shows that thevibration signal amplitude on the left side of the fan de-creases from large to small opposite of the behavior ofthe right -e horizontal vibration signal amplitude on theleft side of the fan is larger than that of the vertical di-rection signal opposite of the right -is result validatesthat the vibration signals from different directions orpositions are different when the fan produces bistablebehavior In addition the time of the bistable behavior canbe determined according to the jump point of the am-plitude or frequency
5 Discussion
-e BEMD algorithm decomposes two orthogonal di-rections of vibration signals as a complex signal which is atwo-dimensional digital signal processing method thusensuring that the real and imaginary parts have the samedecomposition scale Similar to EMD the envelope mean iscritical for the decomposition effect of BEMD but the en-velope mean in BEMD is three-dimensional If the numberof projection directions of the complex signal in three-dimensional space is larger the corresponding envelope
signal is also more -us the envelope mean value is moreaccurate and the BEMD decomposition effect is betterIncreasing the number of projection directions can improvemodal aliasing Like EMD BEMD also produces falsecomponents when decomposing signals Generally speakingthe energy of the false components is low and these low-energy false components do not contain fault characteristicinformation and the introduction of the energy thresholdcriterion in the termination condition can increase thedecomposition speed of the BEMD
-e experimental results show that there is a certaindifference in the existence of vibration signal character-istics in different directions when rotating machinery failsIn addition when the number of projection directionsis increased the decomposition speed of BEMD willdecrease
6 Conclusions
We use BEMD and HT to extract the instantaneousamplitude-frequency features of rotor faults A bivariateinstantaneous feature extraction method based on the im-proved BEMD method and the HT is investigated whichextends the fault feature extraction technology to two di-mensions -e BEMD method is suitable to analyze thecomplex multicomponent bivariate signals -e mainsingle-component bivariate signals are separated from themulticomponent bivariate signals of the fan rotor bistabilityfor the oil film oscillation and the oil film vortex using the

from signal y e mismatch in the number of IMFs leads tochallenges in information fusion In addition modal aliasingoccurs in IMF1 from signal xemode aliasing obscures thephysical meaning of the IMF components and aects thesubsequent analysis
e decomposition results of the oil lm oscillationsignal using BEMD (N 4) are shown in Figure 7 esignal z is decomposed into eight complex rotationalcomponents c1ndashc8 After decomposition the IMF numbersfrom x are the same as those from y e noise component c1is more easily separated from signal z relative to the case ofIMF1 from signal x c2 and c3 are considered fundamentaland oscillatory components respectively the frequencycomponent of c2 is 108Hz and the frequency of c3 is 52Hze two trajectories composed of c2 and c3 generated by the
BEMD method are shown in Figures 8(a) and 8(b) re-spectively while the corresponding ones of IMF2 and IMF3generated by EMD method are shown in Figures 8(c) and8(d) respectively Figure 8 indicates that the orbit ar-rangements obtained by the BEMD method are superior tothose of the EMD method
Relative to the EMDmethod the decomposition eect isimproved when using BEMD to decompose the oil lmoscillation signal However there are still two problemswhen using BEMD to decompose the oil lm oscillationsignal One is the occurrence of modal aliasing in the IMFsand the other is increased false components From Figure 6the modal aliasing occurs at the end of c4 which causes thevalue of c3 to become small at the end After decompositioneight IMF components and one residual r are obtained

However most of the IMF components contain uselessinformation In most cases the fault characteristics are oftenincluded in higher-energy components -e projection di-rections and the energy end condition based on the energythreshold are increased in the improved BEMD method toenhance the decomposition quality
-e decomposition results of the oil film oscillationsignal are shown in Figure 9 using the improved BEMDmethod (N 16 λ 005) -e oil film oscillation signal isdecomposed into four complex rotational components c1ndashc4
and the remaining component r c1 is considered as the noisecomponent According to the Fourier analysis c2 is thefundamental signal with a frequency of 108Hz and c3 is theoscillation signal with a frequency of 52Hz It is clear thatthe number of IMFs is reduced and the fundamental fre-quency component c2 and the oscillation component c3 aremore accurately extracted from the original signal In par-ticular the value of the c4 end becomes smaller and the valueof the c3 end becomes larger relative to the values of c3 and c4shown in Figure 7 Two trajectories made up of c2 and c3 are

shown in Figure 10 From c2 and c3 three-dimensional timedomain and the trajectories the fundamental frequencysignal c2 has a small elliptic amplitude change c3 is a largeseries of amplitude conversion elliptical compositions thatcause a signicant oscillation Relative to the orbit of c3 inFigure 6 the orbit of c3 in Figure 10 is improved particularlyin the center region
Increasing the number of signal projection directionsresults in an increase in the number of projection signals
en the tangent mean which is obtained by interpolatingthe local maximum of the projected signals with a splineinterpolation is more accurate However it is meaningless tocontinue to increase the number of projection directions whenthe tangent mean is accurately tted It is found that the signaldecomposition results of N 16 are almost the same as N 1024 when considering the complex rotation componentsseparated by the original signal However the calculation timeof the BEMD algorithm with N 1024 is greatly increased

single component fundamental frequency signal and the oillm oscillation signal were not successfully separated Oneof the possible reasons is that in the CLMD algorithm thecomplex signal is only projected onto the x-axis and the y-axis unlike BEMD which projected on multiple directionsIn addition CLMD is a bivariate extension of LMD LMDused a moving average algorithm when tting the signalenvelope which can lter noise to a certain extent esignals other than the noise component c1 in Figure 9 areadded to obtain a ltered oil lm oscillation signal which isthen decomposed by the CLMD method and the rst twodecomposed results are shown in Figure 13 It is seen thatthe single component fundamental frequency signal and
the single component oil lm oscillation signal areseparated

Only three IMFs appear in Figure 16 and the singlecomponents c2 and c3 and the noise component c1 are suc-cessfully separated from the original signal e HT is appliedto the real and imaginary parts of c2 and c3 respectively andthe instantaneous frequency and instantaneous amplitude areobtained as shown in Figure 17 e three-dimensional timedomain of ax2 and ay2 and of ax3 and ay3 is shown in Figure 18Figure 17 indicates that the frequency of c2 is approximatelytwice the frequency of c3 and that ax2 is larger than ay2 Inaddition ay3 is slightly larger than ax3 but the range of changefor ax3 is greater than the range for ay3 It is inferred that c2 isthe fundamental frequency signal and that c3 is the half-frequency signal in the oil whirl signal

Figures 19(c) and 19(d) indicate that the signal com-ponent mainly contain 1X 2X (X 28Hz) and a frequencymodulated signal generated due to time-varying stinessis phenomenon is similar to that described reference [20]Four IMFs appear in Figure 20 and the single components1X 2X signals and the FM signal c2 are successfully separatedfrom the original signal e HT is applied to the real andimaginary parts of c2 c3 and c4 respectively and the in-stantaneous frequency and instantaneous amplitude areobtained as shown in Figure 21 ere are some uctuationsin the frequencies of c2 and c3 but these uctuations aredierent from the random uctuations in the above casesey have obvious regularity and are characteristic of FMsignals e frequency modulation characteristics of c2 aremore obvious than those of c3 In addition by observing theinstantaneous amplitude of c2 it is seen that c2 is still anamplitude modulation signal

signal c2 is considered to represent the extracted bistablebehavior signals -e HT is applied to the real andimaginary parts of c2 to obtain the instantaneous amplitudeand frequency of c2 from the left and right columns fromFigure 25 as shown in Figure 26 Figure 27 shows thethree-dimensional time domain of ax2 and ay2 from the leftand right columns respectively Figure 26 shows that thevibration signal amplitude on the left side of the fan de-creases from large to small opposite of the behavior ofthe right -e horizontal vibration signal amplitude on theleft side of the fan is larger than that of the vertical di-rection signal opposite of the right -is result validatesthat the vibration signals from different directions orpositions are different when the fan produces bistablebehavior In addition the time of the bistable behavior canbe determined according to the jump point of the am-plitude or frequency
5 Discussion
-e BEMD algorithm decomposes two orthogonal di-rections of vibration signals as a complex signal which is atwo-dimensional digital signal processing method thusensuring that the real and imaginary parts have the samedecomposition scale Similar to EMD the envelope mean iscritical for the decomposition effect of BEMD but the en-velope mean in BEMD is three-dimensional If the numberof projection directions of the complex signal in three-dimensional space is larger the corresponding envelope
signal is also more -us the envelope mean value is moreaccurate and the BEMD decomposition effect is betterIncreasing the number of projection directions can improvemodal aliasing Like EMD BEMD also produces falsecomponents when decomposing signals Generally speakingthe energy of the false components is low and these low-energy false components do not contain fault characteristicinformation and the introduction of the energy thresholdcriterion in the termination condition can increase thedecomposition speed of the BEMD
-e experimental results show that there is a certaindifference in the existence of vibration signal character-istics in different directions when rotating machinery failsIn addition when the number of projection directionsis increased the decomposition speed of BEMD willdecrease
6 Conclusions
We use BEMD and HT to extract the instantaneousamplitude-frequency features of rotor faults A bivariateinstantaneous feature extraction method based on the im-proved BEMD method and the HT is investigated whichextends the fault feature extraction technology to two di-mensions -e BEMD method is suitable to analyze thecomplex multicomponent bivariate signals -e mainsingle-component bivariate signals are separated from themulticomponent bivariate signals of the fan rotor bistabilityfor the oil film oscillation and the oil film vortex using the

However most of the IMF components contain uselessinformation In most cases the fault characteristics are oftenincluded in higher-energy components -e projection di-rections and the energy end condition based on the energythreshold are increased in the improved BEMD method toenhance the decomposition quality
-e decomposition results of the oil film oscillationsignal are shown in Figure 9 using the improved BEMDmethod (N 16 λ 005) -e oil film oscillation signal isdecomposed into four complex rotational components c1ndashc4
and the remaining component r c1 is considered as the noisecomponent According to the Fourier analysis c2 is thefundamental signal with a frequency of 108Hz and c3 is theoscillation signal with a frequency of 52Hz It is clear thatthe number of IMFs is reduced and the fundamental fre-quency component c2 and the oscillation component c3 aremore accurately extracted from the original signal In par-ticular the value of the c4 end becomes smaller and the valueof the c3 end becomes larger relative to the values of c3 and c4shown in Figure 7 Two trajectories made up of c2 and c3 are

shown in Figure 10 From c2 and c3 three-dimensional timedomain and the trajectories the fundamental frequencysignal c2 has a small elliptic amplitude change c3 is a largeseries of amplitude conversion elliptical compositions thatcause a signicant oscillation Relative to the orbit of c3 inFigure 6 the orbit of c3 in Figure 10 is improved particularlyin the center region
Increasing the number of signal projection directionsresults in an increase in the number of projection signals
en the tangent mean which is obtained by interpolatingthe local maximum of the projected signals with a splineinterpolation is more accurate However it is meaningless tocontinue to increase the number of projection directions whenthe tangent mean is accurately tted It is found that the signaldecomposition results of N 16 are almost the same as N 1024 when considering the complex rotation componentsseparated by the original signal However the calculation timeof the BEMD algorithm with N 1024 is greatly increased

In Figure 11 ax3 is much larger than ay3 and their phasesare separated by nearly 180deg which shows that the amplitudeand the phase of the oil lm oscillation signal in dierentdirections can vary fx2 and fy2 and fx3 and fy3 are ap-proximately the same ax2 and ay2 show little change andtheir phases are the same Since BEMD is a bivariate ex-tension of EMD like EMD BEMD also has an endpointeect ere are some uctuations in the instantaneousamplitude and instantaneous frequency due to the end eect

single component fundamental frequency signal and the oillm oscillation signal were not successfully separated Oneof the possible reasons is that in the CLMD algorithm thecomplex signal is only projected onto the x-axis and the y-axis unlike BEMD which projected on multiple directionsIn addition CLMD is a bivariate extension of LMD LMDused a moving average algorithm when tting the signalenvelope which can lter noise to a certain extent esignals other than the noise component c1 in Figure 9 areadded to obtain a ltered oil lm oscillation signal which isthen decomposed by the CLMD method and the rst twodecomposed results are shown in Figure 13 It is seen thatthe single component fundamental frequency signal and
the single component oil lm oscillation signal areseparated
cpf1 and cpf2 consisted of real part signals and imaginarypart signals both of which were composed of the product ofthe envelope signal and the pure frequency modulationfunctione envelope signal is the instantaneous amplitudeof the signal e corresponding instantaneous frequencywas obtained by deriving the inverse function of the cosinepure frequency modulation function e instantaneousamplitude and instantaneous frequency curves are shown inFigure 14 e instantaneous amplitude and frequencyobtained by the CLMD method are smoother than in Fig-ure 12e reason is mainly that the CLMDmethod uses the

42 Analysis ofOilWhirl Signal Based on the ImprovedBEMDMethod In the method similar to that presented in Section41 the oil whirl signals of the rotor test rig with a speedparameter of 4320 rpm are collected by two orthogonalsensors as shown in Figure 15 e gure shows the typicalwhirl phenomenon of large circles with embedded smallerones e decomposition results based on the improvedBEMD method (N 16 λ 005) are shown in Figure 16
Only three IMFs appear in Figure 16 and the singlecomponents c2 and c3 and the noise component c1 are suc-cessfully separated from the original signal e HT is appliedto the real and imaginary parts of c2 and c3 respectively andthe instantaneous frequency and instantaneous amplitude areobtained as shown in Figure 17 e three-dimensional timedomain of ax2 and ay2 and of ax3 and ay3 is shown in Figure 18Figure 17 indicates that the frequency of c2 is approximatelytwice the frequency of c3 and that ax2 is larger than ay2 Inaddition ay3 is slightly larger than ax3 but the range of changefor ax3 is greater than the range for ay3 It is inferred that c2 isthe fundamental frequency signal and that c3 is the half-frequency signal in the oil whirl signal

Figures 19(c) and 19(d) indicate that the signal com-ponent mainly contain 1X 2X (X 28Hz) and a frequencymodulated signal generated due to time-varying stinessis phenomenon is similar to that described reference [20]Four IMFs appear in Figure 20 and the single components1X 2X signals and the FM signal c2 are successfully separatedfrom the original signal e HT is applied to the real andimaginary parts of c2 c3 and c4 respectively and the in-stantaneous frequency and instantaneous amplitude areobtained as shown in Figure 21 ere are some uctuationsin the frequencies of c2 and c3 but these uctuations aredierent from the random uctuations in the above casesey have obvious regularity and are characteristic of FMsignals e frequency modulation characteristics of c2 aremore obvious than those of c3 In addition by observing theinstantaneous amplitude of c2 it is seen that c2 is still anamplitude modulation signal

In order to further verify the correctness of the in-stantaneous amplitude-frequency characteristics of theproposed method the real and imaginary parts of thecomposite fault signal z are analyzed separately using syn-chrosqueezed wavelet transforms (SWT) proposed in ref-erence [21]-e results are shown in Figure 22 It is seen thatthe time-frequency representations of the composite faultsignal z also include the AM-FM signal and the 1X signalwhich proves the correctness of the proposed methodCompared with the SWT method the instantaneousamplitude-frequency characteristics acquired by the HTmethod are relatively straightforward
44 lte Bistable Behavior Analysis of the Fan Rotor Based onBEMD -e bistability of the rotor is a nonlinear behaviorof the rotor-bearing system which is the state in which therotor jumps from one stable state to another forming astep -e bivariate signal of the bistable behavior iscomposed of two signals collected by two displacementsensors from orthogonal locations on the experimentaldevices in literature [22] as shown in Figure 23 Literature[22] shows that the cause of the bistable behavior remainsto be further explored -is paper uses this case to il-lustrate the feasibility of BEMD to analyze nonstationarysignals

signal c2 is considered to represent the extracted bistablebehavior signals -e HT is applied to the real andimaginary parts of c2 to obtain the instantaneous amplitudeand frequency of c2 from the left and right columns fromFigure 25 as shown in Figure 26 Figure 27 shows thethree-dimensional time domain of ax2 and ay2 from the leftand right columns respectively Figure 26 shows that thevibration signal amplitude on the left side of the fan de-creases from large to small opposite of the behavior ofthe right -e horizontal vibration signal amplitude on theleft side of the fan is larger than that of the vertical di-rection signal opposite of the right -is result validatesthat the vibration signals from different directions orpositions are different when the fan produces bistablebehavior In addition the time of the bistable behavior canbe determined according to the jump point of the am-plitude or frequency
5 Discussion
-e BEMD algorithm decomposes two orthogonal di-rections of vibration signals as a complex signal which is atwo-dimensional digital signal processing method thusensuring that the real and imaginary parts have the samedecomposition scale Similar to EMD the envelope mean iscritical for the decomposition effect of BEMD but the en-velope mean in BEMD is three-dimensional If the numberof projection directions of the complex signal in three-dimensional space is larger the corresponding envelope
signal is also more -us the envelope mean value is moreaccurate and the BEMD decomposition effect is betterIncreasing the number of projection directions can improvemodal aliasing Like EMD BEMD also produces falsecomponents when decomposing signals Generally speakingthe energy of the false components is low and these low-energy false components do not contain fault characteristicinformation and the introduction of the energy thresholdcriterion in the termination condition can increase thedecomposition speed of the BEMD
-e experimental results show that there is a certaindifference in the existence of vibration signal character-istics in different directions when rotating machinery failsIn addition when the number of projection directionsis increased the decomposition speed of BEMD willdecrease
6 Conclusions
We use BEMD and HT to extract the instantaneousamplitude-frequency features of rotor faults A bivariateinstantaneous feature extraction method based on the im-proved BEMD method and the HT is investigated whichextends the fault feature extraction technology to two di-mensions -e BEMD method is suitable to analyze thecomplex multicomponent bivariate signals -e mainsingle-component bivariate signals are separated from themulticomponent bivariate signals of the fan rotor bistabilityfor the oil film oscillation and the oil film vortex using the

shown in Figure 10 From c2 and c3 three-dimensional timedomain and the trajectories the fundamental frequencysignal c2 has a small elliptic amplitude change c3 is a largeseries of amplitude conversion elliptical compositions thatcause a signicant oscillation Relative to the orbit of c3 inFigure 6 the orbit of c3 in Figure 10 is improved particularlyin the center region
Increasing the number of signal projection directionsresults in an increase in the number of projection signals
en the tangent mean which is obtained by interpolatingthe local maximum of the projected signals with a splineinterpolation is more accurate However it is meaningless tocontinue to increase the number of projection directions whenthe tangent mean is accurately tted It is found that the signaldecomposition results of N 16 are almost the same as N 1024 when considering the complex rotation componentsseparated by the original signal However the calculation timeof the BEMD algorithm with N 1024 is greatly increased

single component fundamental frequency signal and the oillm oscillation signal were not successfully separated Oneof the possible reasons is that in the CLMD algorithm thecomplex signal is only projected onto the x-axis and the y-axis unlike BEMD which projected on multiple directionsIn addition CLMD is a bivariate extension of LMD LMDused a moving average algorithm when tting the signalenvelope which can lter noise to a certain extent esignals other than the noise component c1 in Figure 9 areadded to obtain a ltered oil lm oscillation signal which isthen decomposed by the CLMD method and the rst twodecomposed results are shown in Figure 13 It is seen thatthe single component fundamental frequency signal and
the single component oil lm oscillation signal areseparated

42 Analysis ofOilWhirl Signal Based on the ImprovedBEMDMethod In the method similar to that presented in Section41 the oil whirl signals of the rotor test rig with a speedparameter of 4320 rpm are collected by two orthogonalsensors as shown in Figure 15 e gure shows the typicalwhirl phenomenon of large circles with embedded smallerones e decomposition results based on the improvedBEMD method (N 16 λ 005) are shown in Figure 16
Only three IMFs appear in Figure 16 and the singlecomponents c2 and c3 and the noise component c1 are suc-cessfully separated from the original signal e HT is appliedto the real and imaginary parts of c2 and c3 respectively andthe instantaneous frequency and instantaneous amplitude areobtained as shown in Figure 17 e three-dimensional timedomain of ax2 and ay2 and of ax3 and ay3 is shown in Figure 18Figure 17 indicates that the frequency of c2 is approximatelytwice the frequency of c3 and that ax2 is larger than ay2 Inaddition ay3 is slightly larger than ax3 but the range of changefor ax3 is greater than the range for ay3 It is inferred that c2 isthe fundamental frequency signal and that c3 is the half-frequency signal in the oil whirl signal

Figures 19(c) and 19(d) indicate that the signal com-ponent mainly contain 1X 2X (X 28Hz) and a frequencymodulated signal generated due to time-varying stinessis phenomenon is similar to that described reference [20]Four IMFs appear in Figure 20 and the single components1X 2X signals and the FM signal c2 are successfully separatedfrom the original signal e HT is applied to the real andimaginary parts of c2 c3 and c4 respectively and the in-stantaneous frequency and instantaneous amplitude areobtained as shown in Figure 21 ere are some uctuationsin the frequencies of c2 and c3 but these uctuations aredierent from the random uctuations in the above casesey have obvious regularity and are characteristic of FMsignals e frequency modulation characteristics of c2 aremore obvious than those of c3 In addition by observing theinstantaneous amplitude of c2 it is seen that c2 is still anamplitude modulation signal

signal c2 is considered to represent the extracted bistablebehavior signals -e HT is applied to the real andimaginary parts of c2 to obtain the instantaneous amplitudeand frequency of c2 from the left and right columns fromFigure 25 as shown in Figure 26 Figure 27 shows thethree-dimensional time domain of ax2 and ay2 from the leftand right columns respectively Figure 26 shows that thevibration signal amplitude on the left side of the fan de-creases from large to small opposite of the behavior ofthe right -e horizontal vibration signal amplitude on theleft side of the fan is larger than that of the vertical di-rection signal opposite of the right -is result validatesthat the vibration signals from different directions orpositions are different when the fan produces bistablebehavior In addition the time of the bistable behavior canbe determined according to the jump point of the am-plitude or frequency
5 Discussion
-e BEMD algorithm decomposes two orthogonal di-rections of vibration signals as a complex signal which is atwo-dimensional digital signal processing method thusensuring that the real and imaginary parts have the samedecomposition scale Similar to EMD the envelope mean iscritical for the decomposition effect of BEMD but the en-velope mean in BEMD is three-dimensional If the numberof projection directions of the complex signal in three-dimensional space is larger the corresponding envelope
signal is also more -us the envelope mean value is moreaccurate and the BEMD decomposition effect is betterIncreasing the number of projection directions can improvemodal aliasing Like EMD BEMD also produces falsecomponents when decomposing signals Generally speakingthe energy of the false components is low and these low-energy false components do not contain fault characteristicinformation and the introduction of the energy thresholdcriterion in the termination condition can increase thedecomposition speed of the BEMD
-e experimental results show that there is a certaindifference in the existence of vibration signal character-istics in different directions when rotating machinery failsIn addition when the number of projection directionsis increased the decomposition speed of BEMD willdecrease
6 Conclusions
We use BEMD and HT to extract the instantaneousamplitude-frequency features of rotor faults A bivariateinstantaneous feature extraction method based on the im-proved BEMD method and the HT is investigated whichextends the fault feature extraction technology to two di-mensions -e BEMD method is suitable to analyze thecomplex multicomponent bivariate signals -e mainsingle-component bivariate signals are separated from themulticomponent bivariate signals of the fan rotor bistabilityfor the oil film oscillation and the oil film vortex using the

single component fundamental frequency signal and the oillm oscillation signal were not successfully separated Oneof the possible reasons is that in the CLMD algorithm thecomplex signal is only projected onto the x-axis and the y-axis unlike BEMD which projected on multiple directionsIn addition CLMD is a bivariate extension of LMD LMDused a moving average algorithm when tting the signalenvelope which can lter noise to a certain extent esignals other than the noise component c1 in Figure 9 areadded to obtain a ltered oil lm oscillation signal which isthen decomposed by the CLMD method and the rst twodecomposed results are shown in Figure 13 It is seen thatthe single component fundamental frequency signal and
the single component oil lm oscillation signal areseparated
cpf1 and cpf2 consisted of real part signals and imaginarypart signals both of which were composed of the product ofthe envelope signal and the pure frequency modulationfunctione envelope signal is the instantaneous amplitudeof the signal e corresponding instantaneous frequencywas obtained by deriving the inverse function of the cosinepure frequency modulation function e instantaneousamplitude and instantaneous frequency curves are shown inFigure 14 e instantaneous amplitude and frequencyobtained by the CLMD method are smoother than in Fig-ure 12e reason is mainly that the CLMDmethod uses the

42 Analysis ofOilWhirl Signal Based on the ImprovedBEMDMethod In the method similar to that presented in Section41 the oil whirl signals of the rotor test rig with a speedparameter of 4320 rpm are collected by two orthogonalsensors as shown in Figure 15 e gure shows the typicalwhirl phenomenon of large circles with embedded smallerones e decomposition results based on the improvedBEMD method (N 16 λ 005) are shown in Figure 16
Only three IMFs appear in Figure 16 and the singlecomponents c2 and c3 and the noise component c1 are suc-cessfully separated from the original signal e HT is appliedto the real and imaginary parts of c2 and c3 respectively andthe instantaneous frequency and instantaneous amplitude areobtained as shown in Figure 17 e three-dimensional timedomain of ax2 and ay2 and of ax3 and ay3 is shown in Figure 18Figure 17 indicates that the frequency of c2 is approximatelytwice the frequency of c3 and that ax2 is larger than ay2 Inaddition ay3 is slightly larger than ax3 but the range of changefor ax3 is greater than the range for ay3 It is inferred that c2 isthe fundamental frequency signal and that c3 is the half-frequency signal in the oil whirl signal
43 Analysis of Looseness and Rotor Rubbing Composite FaultSignal Based on the Improved BEMD Method Loose androtor rubbing composite faults are set on the testequipment shown in Figure 3 in Section 41 Loose fault isset on the nondrive end of the motor and the distancebetween the plastic rod and the shaft is xed near thesensor on the left side of the disk As the rotor speedincreases the vibration increases and the rubbing faultoccurs which is stable at around 1700 rmin e com-posite fault signals are collected by two orthogonal sen-sors as shown in Figure 19 e decomposition resultsbased on the improved BEMD method are shown inFigure 20
Figures 19(c) and 19(d) indicate that the signal com-ponent mainly contain 1X 2X (X 28Hz) and a frequencymodulated signal generated due to time-varying stinessis phenomenon is similar to that described reference [20]Four IMFs appear in Figure 20 and the single components1X 2X signals and the FM signal c2 are successfully separatedfrom the original signal e HT is applied to the real andimaginary parts of c2 c3 and c4 respectively and the in-stantaneous frequency and instantaneous amplitude areobtained as shown in Figure 21 ere are some uctuationsin the frequencies of c2 and c3 but these uctuations aredierent from the random uctuations in the above casesey have obvious regularity and are characteristic of FMsignals e frequency modulation characteristics of c2 aremore obvious than those of c3 In addition by observing theinstantaneous amplitude of c2 it is seen that c2 is still anamplitude modulation signal

In order to further verify the correctness of the in-stantaneous amplitude-frequency characteristics of theproposed method the real and imaginary parts of thecomposite fault signal z are analyzed separately using syn-chrosqueezed wavelet transforms (SWT) proposed in ref-erence [21]-e results are shown in Figure 22 It is seen thatthe time-frequency representations of the composite faultsignal z also include the AM-FM signal and the 1X signalwhich proves the correctness of the proposed methodCompared with the SWT method the instantaneousamplitude-frequency characteristics acquired by the HTmethod are relatively straightforward
44 lte Bistable Behavior Analysis of the Fan Rotor Based onBEMD -e bistability of the rotor is a nonlinear behaviorof the rotor-bearing system which is the state in which therotor jumps from one stable state to another forming astep -e bivariate signal of the bistable behavior iscomposed of two signals collected by two displacementsensors from orthogonal locations on the experimentaldevices in literature [22] as shown in Figure 23 Literature[22] shows that the cause of the bistable behavior remainsto be further explored -is paper uses this case to il-lustrate the feasibility of BEMD to analyze nonstationarysignals

signal c2 is considered to represent the extracted bistablebehavior signals -e HT is applied to the real andimaginary parts of c2 to obtain the instantaneous amplitudeand frequency of c2 from the left and right columns fromFigure 25 as shown in Figure 26 Figure 27 shows thethree-dimensional time domain of ax2 and ay2 from the leftand right columns respectively Figure 26 shows that thevibration signal amplitude on the left side of the fan de-creases from large to small opposite of the behavior ofthe right -e horizontal vibration signal amplitude on theleft side of the fan is larger than that of the vertical di-rection signal opposite of the right -is result validatesthat the vibration signals from different directions orpositions are different when the fan produces bistablebehavior In addition the time of the bistable behavior canbe determined according to the jump point of the am-plitude or frequency
5 Discussion
-e BEMD algorithm decomposes two orthogonal di-rections of vibration signals as a complex signal which is atwo-dimensional digital signal processing method thusensuring that the real and imaginary parts have the samedecomposition scale Similar to EMD the envelope mean iscritical for the decomposition effect of BEMD but the en-velope mean in BEMD is three-dimensional If the numberof projection directions of the complex signal in three-dimensional space is larger the corresponding envelope
signal is also more -us the envelope mean value is moreaccurate and the BEMD decomposition effect is betterIncreasing the number of projection directions can improvemodal aliasing Like EMD BEMD also produces falsecomponents when decomposing signals Generally speakingthe energy of the false components is low and these low-energy false components do not contain fault characteristicinformation and the introduction of the energy thresholdcriterion in the termination condition can increase thedecomposition speed of the BEMD
-e experimental results show that there is a certaindifference in the existence of vibration signal character-istics in different directions when rotating machinery failsIn addition when the number of projection directionsis increased the decomposition speed of BEMD willdecrease
6 Conclusions
We use BEMD and HT to extract the instantaneousamplitude-frequency features of rotor faults A bivariateinstantaneous feature extraction method based on the im-proved BEMD method and the HT is investigated whichextends the fault feature extraction technology to two di-mensions -e BEMD method is suitable to analyze thecomplex multicomponent bivariate signals -e mainsingle-component bivariate signals are separated from themulticomponent bivariate signals of the fan rotor bistabilityfor the oil film oscillation and the oil film vortex using the

single component fundamental frequency signal and the oillm oscillation signal were not successfully separated Oneof the possible reasons is that in the CLMD algorithm thecomplex signal is only projected onto the x-axis and the y-axis unlike BEMD which projected on multiple directionsIn addition CLMD is a bivariate extension of LMD LMDused a moving average algorithm when tting the signalenvelope which can lter noise to a certain extent esignals other than the noise component c1 in Figure 9 areadded to obtain a ltered oil lm oscillation signal which isthen decomposed by the CLMD method and the rst twodecomposed results are shown in Figure 13 It is seen thatthe single component fundamental frequency signal and

42 Analysis ofOilWhirl Signal Based on the ImprovedBEMDMethod In the method similar to that presented in Section41 the oil whirl signals of the rotor test rig with a speedparameter of 4320 rpm are collected by two orthogonalsensors as shown in Figure 15 e gure shows the typicalwhirl phenomenon of large circles with embedded smallerones e decomposition results based on the improvedBEMD method (N 16 λ 005) are shown in Figure 16
Only three IMFs appear in Figure 16 and the singlecomponents c2 and c3 and the noise component c1 are suc-cessfully separated from the original signal e HT is appliedto the real and imaginary parts of c2 and c3 respectively andthe instantaneous frequency and instantaneous amplitude areobtained as shown in Figure 17 e three-dimensional timedomain of ax2 and ay2 and of ax3 and ay3 is shown in Figure 18Figure 17 indicates that the frequency of c2 is approximatelytwice the frequency of c3 and that ax2 is larger than ay2 Inaddition ay3 is slightly larger than ax3 but the range of changefor ax3 is greater than the range for ay3 It is inferred that c2 isthe fundamental frequency signal and that c3 is the half-frequency signal in the oil whirl signal
43 Analysis of Looseness and Rotor Rubbing Composite FaultSignal Based on the Improved BEMD Method Loose androtor rubbing composite faults are set on the testequipment shown in Figure 3 in Section 41 Loose fault isset on the nondrive end of the motor and the distancebetween the plastic rod and the shaft is xed near thesensor on the left side of the disk As the rotor speedincreases the vibration increases and the rubbing faultoccurs which is stable at around 1700 rmin e com-posite fault signals are collected by two orthogonal sen-sors as shown in Figure 19 e decomposition resultsbased on the improved BEMD method are shown inFigure 20
Figures 19(c) and 19(d) indicate that the signal com-ponent mainly contain 1X 2X (X 28Hz) and a frequencymodulated signal generated due to time-varying stinessis phenomenon is similar to that described reference [20]Four IMFs appear in Figure 20 and the single components1X 2X signals and the FM signal c2 are successfully separatedfrom the original signal e HT is applied to the real andimaginary parts of c2 c3 and c4 respectively and the in-stantaneous frequency and instantaneous amplitude areobtained as shown in Figure 21 ere are some uctuationsin the frequencies of c2 and c3 but these uctuations aredierent from the random uctuations in the above casesey have obvious regularity and are characteristic of FMsignals e frequency modulation characteristics of c2 aremore obvious than those of c3 In addition by observing theinstantaneous amplitude of c2 it is seen that c2 is still anamplitude modulation signal

In order to further verify the correctness of the in-stantaneous amplitude-frequency characteristics of theproposed method the real and imaginary parts of thecomposite fault signal z are analyzed separately using syn-chrosqueezed wavelet transforms (SWT) proposed in ref-erence [21]-e results are shown in Figure 22 It is seen thatthe time-frequency representations of the composite faultsignal z also include the AM-FM signal and the 1X signalwhich proves the correctness of the proposed methodCompared with the SWT method the instantaneousamplitude-frequency characteristics acquired by the HTmethod are relatively straightforward

signal c2 is considered to represent the extracted bistablebehavior signals -e HT is applied to the real andimaginary parts of c2 to obtain the instantaneous amplitudeand frequency of c2 from the left and right columns fromFigure 25 as shown in Figure 26 Figure 27 shows thethree-dimensional time domain of ax2 and ay2 from the leftand right columns respectively Figure 26 shows that thevibration signal amplitude on the left side of the fan de-creases from large to small opposite of the behavior ofthe right -e horizontal vibration signal amplitude on theleft side of the fan is larger than that of the vertical di-rection signal opposite of the right -is result validatesthat the vibration signals from different directions orpositions are different when the fan produces bistablebehavior In addition the time of the bistable behavior canbe determined according to the jump point of the am-plitude or frequency
5 Discussion
-e BEMD algorithm decomposes two orthogonal di-rections of vibration signals as a complex signal which is atwo-dimensional digital signal processing method thusensuring that the real and imaginary parts have the samedecomposition scale Similar to EMD the envelope mean iscritical for the decomposition effect of BEMD but the en-velope mean in BEMD is three-dimensional If the numberof projection directions of the complex signal in three-dimensional space is larger the corresponding envelope
signal is also more -us the envelope mean value is moreaccurate and the BEMD decomposition effect is betterIncreasing the number of projection directions can improvemodal aliasing Like EMD BEMD also produces falsecomponents when decomposing signals Generally speakingthe energy of the false components is low and these low-energy false components do not contain fault characteristicinformation and the introduction of the energy thresholdcriterion in the termination condition can increase thedecomposition speed of the BEMD
-e experimental results show that there is a certaindifference in the existence of vibration signal character-istics in different directions when rotating machinery failsIn addition when the number of projection directionsis increased the decomposition speed of BEMD willdecrease
6 Conclusions
We use BEMD and HT to extract the instantaneousamplitude-frequency features of rotor faults A bivariateinstantaneous feature extraction method based on the im-proved BEMD method and the HT is investigated whichextends the fault feature extraction technology to two di-mensions -e BEMD method is suitable to analyze thecomplex multicomponent bivariate signals -e mainsingle-component bivariate signals are separated from themulticomponent bivariate signals of the fan rotor bistabilityfor the oil film oscillation and the oil film vortex using the

single component fundamental frequency signal and the oillm oscillation signal were not successfully separated Oneof the possible reasons is that in the CLMD algorithm thecomplex signal is only projected onto the x-axis and the y-axis unlike BEMD which projected on multiple directionsIn addition CLMD is a bivariate extension of LMD LMDused a moving average algorithm when tting the signalenvelope which can lter noise to a certain extent esignals other than the noise component c1 in Figure 9 areadded to obtain a ltered oil lm oscillation signal which isthen decomposed by the CLMD method and the rst twodecomposed results are shown in Figure 13 It is seen thatthe single component fundamental frequency signal and
the single component oil lm oscillation signal areseparated

42 Analysis ofOilWhirl Signal Based on the ImprovedBEMDMethod In the method similar to that presented in Section41 the oil whirl signals of the rotor test rig with a speedparameter of 4320 rpm are collected by two orthogonalsensors as shown in Figure 15 e gure shows the typicalwhirl phenomenon of large circles with embedded smallerones e decomposition results based on the improvedBEMD method (N 16 λ 005) are shown in Figure 16
Only three IMFs appear in Figure 16 and the singlecomponents c2 and c3 and the noise component c1 are suc-cessfully separated from the original signal e HT is appliedto the real and imaginary parts of c2 and c3 respectively andthe instantaneous frequency and instantaneous amplitude areobtained as shown in Figure 17 e three-dimensional timedomain of ax2 and ay2 and of ax3 and ay3 is shown in Figure 18Figure 17 indicates that the frequency of c2 is approximatelytwice the frequency of c3 and that ax2 is larger than ay2 Inaddition ay3 is slightly larger than ax3 but the range of changefor ax3 is greater than the range for ay3 It is inferred that c2 isthe fundamental frequency signal and that c3 is the half-frequency signal in the oil whirl signal
43 Analysis of Looseness and Rotor Rubbing Composite FaultSignal Based on the Improved BEMD Method Loose androtor rubbing composite faults are set on the testequipment shown in Figure 3 in Section 41 Loose fault isset on the nondrive end of the motor and the distancebetween the plastic rod and the shaft is xed near thesensor on the left side of the disk As the rotor speedincreases the vibration increases and the rubbing faultoccurs which is stable at around 1700 rmin e com-posite fault signals are collected by two orthogonal sen-sors as shown in Figure 19 e decomposition resultsbased on the improved BEMD method are shown inFigure 20
Figures 19(c) and 19(d) indicate that the signal com-ponent mainly contain 1X 2X (X 28Hz) and a frequencymodulated signal generated due to time-varying stinessis phenomenon is similar to that described reference [20]Four IMFs appear in Figure 20 and the single components1X 2X signals and the FM signal c2 are successfully separatedfrom the original signal e HT is applied to the real andimaginary parts of c2 c3 and c4 respectively and the in-stantaneous frequency and instantaneous amplitude areobtained as shown in Figure 21 ere are some uctuationsin the frequencies of c2 and c3 but these uctuations aredierent from the random uctuations in the above casesey have obvious regularity and are characteristic of FMsignals e frequency modulation characteristics of c2 aremore obvious than those of c3 In addition by observing theinstantaneous amplitude of c2 it is seen that c2 is still anamplitude modulation signal

In order to further verify the correctness of the in-stantaneous amplitude-frequency characteristics of theproposed method the real and imaginary parts of thecomposite fault signal z are analyzed separately using syn-chrosqueezed wavelet transforms (SWT) proposed in ref-erence [21]-e results are shown in Figure 22 It is seen thatthe time-frequency representations of the composite faultsignal z also include the AM-FM signal and the 1X signalwhich proves the correctness of the proposed methodCompared with the SWT method the instantaneousamplitude-frequency characteristics acquired by the HTmethod are relatively straightforward

signal c2 is considered to represent the extracted bistablebehavior signals -e HT is applied to the real andimaginary parts of c2 to obtain the instantaneous amplitudeand frequency of c2 from the left and right columns fromFigure 25 as shown in Figure 26 Figure 27 shows thethree-dimensional time domain of ax2 and ay2 from the leftand right columns respectively Figure 26 shows that thevibration signal amplitude on the left side of the fan de-creases from large to small opposite of the behavior ofthe right -e horizontal vibration signal amplitude on theleft side of the fan is larger than that of the vertical di-rection signal opposite of the right -is result validatesthat the vibration signals from different directions orpositions are different when the fan produces bistablebehavior In addition the time of the bistable behavior canbe determined according to the jump point of the am-plitude or frequency
5 Discussion
-e BEMD algorithm decomposes two orthogonal di-rections of vibration signals as a complex signal which is atwo-dimensional digital signal processing method thusensuring that the real and imaginary parts have the samedecomposition scale Similar to EMD the envelope mean iscritical for the decomposition effect of BEMD but the en-velope mean in BEMD is three-dimensional If the numberof projection directions of the complex signal in three-dimensional space is larger the corresponding envelope
signal is also more -us the envelope mean value is moreaccurate and the BEMD decomposition effect is betterIncreasing the number of projection directions can improvemodal aliasing Like EMD BEMD also produces falsecomponents when decomposing signals Generally speakingthe energy of the false components is low and these low-energy false components do not contain fault characteristicinformation and the introduction of the energy thresholdcriterion in the termination condition can increase thedecomposition speed of the BEMD
-e experimental results show that there is a certaindifference in the existence of vibration signal character-istics in different directions when rotating machinery failsIn addition when the number of projection directionsis increased the decomposition speed of BEMD willdecrease
6 Conclusions
We use BEMD and HT to extract the instantaneousamplitude-frequency features of rotor faults A bivariateinstantaneous feature extraction method based on the im-proved BEMD method and the HT is investigated whichextends the fault feature extraction technology to two di-mensions -e BEMD method is suitable to analyze thecomplex multicomponent bivariate signals -e mainsingle-component bivariate signals are separated from themulticomponent bivariate signals of the fan rotor bistabilityfor the oil film oscillation and the oil film vortex using the

moving average ltering algorithm to obtain the signalenvelope curve However this is the result of using theCLMD algorithm after ltering out noise with BEMD If theBEMD algorithm is not used for ltering noise the in-stantaneous amplitude and instantaneous frequency curvesof the single component were not obtained by the CLMDmethod
42 Analysis ofOilWhirl Signal Based on the ImprovedBEMDMethod In the method similar to that presented in Section41 the oil whirl signals of the rotor test rig with a speedparameter of 4320 rpm are collected by two orthogonalsensors as shown in Figure 15 e gure shows the typicalwhirl phenomenon of large circles with embedded smallerones e decomposition results based on the improvedBEMD method (N 16 λ 005) are shown in Figure 16
Only three IMFs appear in Figure 16 and the singlecomponents c2 and c3 and the noise component c1 are suc-cessfully separated from the original signal e HT is appliedto the real and imaginary parts of c2 and c3 respectively andthe instantaneous frequency and instantaneous amplitude areobtained as shown in Figure 17 e three-dimensional timedomain of ax2 and ay2 and of ax3 and ay3 is shown in Figure 18Figure 17 indicates that the frequency of c2 is approximatelytwice the frequency of c3 and that ax2 is larger than ay2 Inaddition ay3 is slightly larger than ax3 but the range of changefor ax3 is greater than the range for ay3 It is inferred that c2 isthe fundamental frequency signal and that c3 is the half-frequency signal in the oil whirl signal
43 Analysis of Looseness and Rotor Rubbing Composite FaultSignal Based on the Improved BEMD Method Loose androtor rubbing composite faults are set on the testequipment shown in Figure 3 in Section 41 Loose fault isset on the nondrive end of the motor and the distancebetween the plastic rod and the shaft is xed near thesensor on the left side of the disk As the rotor speedincreases the vibration increases and the rubbing faultoccurs which is stable at around 1700 rmin e com-posite fault signals are collected by two orthogonal sen-sors as shown in Figure 19 e decomposition resultsbased on the improved BEMD method are shown inFigure 20
Figures 19(c) and 19(d) indicate that the signal com-ponent mainly contain 1X 2X (X 28Hz) and a frequencymodulated signal generated due to time-varying stinessis phenomenon is similar to that described reference [20]Four IMFs appear in Figure 20 and the single components1X 2X signals and the FM signal c2 are successfully separatedfrom the original signal e HT is applied to the real andimaginary parts of c2 c3 and c4 respectively and the in-stantaneous frequency and instantaneous amplitude areobtained as shown in Figure 21 ere are some uctuationsin the frequencies of c2 and c3 but these uctuations aredierent from the random uctuations in the above casesey have obvious regularity and are characteristic of FMsignals e frequency modulation characteristics of c2 aremore obvious than those of c3 In addition by observing theinstantaneous amplitude of c2 it is seen that c2 is still anamplitude modulation signal

In order to further verify the correctness of the in-stantaneous amplitude-frequency characteristics of theproposed method the real and imaginary parts of thecomposite fault signal z are analyzed separately using syn-chrosqueezed wavelet transforms (SWT) proposed in ref-erence [21]-e results are shown in Figure 22 It is seen thatthe time-frequency representations of the composite faultsignal z also include the AM-FM signal and the 1X signalwhich proves the correctness of the proposed methodCompared with the SWT method the instantaneousamplitude-frequency characteristics acquired by the HTmethod are relatively straightforward
44 lte Bistable Behavior Analysis of the Fan Rotor Based onBEMD -e bistability of the rotor is a nonlinear behaviorof the rotor-bearing system which is the state in which therotor jumps from one stable state to another forming astep -e bivariate signal of the bistable behavior iscomposed of two signals collected by two displacementsensors from orthogonal locations on the experimentaldevices in literature [22] as shown in Figure 23 Literature[22] shows that the cause of the bistable behavior remainsto be further explored -is paper uses this case to il-lustrate the feasibility of BEMD to analyze nonstationarysignals

signal c2 is considered to represent the extracted bistablebehavior signals -e HT is applied to the real andimaginary parts of c2 to obtain the instantaneous amplitudeand frequency of c2 from the left and right columns fromFigure 25 as shown in Figure 26 Figure 27 shows thethree-dimensional time domain of ax2 and ay2 from the leftand right columns respectively Figure 26 shows that thevibration signal amplitude on the left side of the fan de-creases from large to small opposite of the behavior ofthe right -e horizontal vibration signal amplitude on theleft side of the fan is larger than that of the vertical di-rection signal opposite of the right -is result validatesthat the vibration signals from different directions orpositions are different when the fan produces bistablebehavior In addition the time of the bistable behavior canbe determined according to the jump point of the am-plitude or frequency
5 Discussion
-e BEMD algorithm decomposes two orthogonal di-rections of vibration signals as a complex signal which is atwo-dimensional digital signal processing method thusensuring that the real and imaginary parts have the samedecomposition scale Similar to EMD the envelope mean iscritical for the decomposition effect of BEMD but the en-velope mean in BEMD is three-dimensional If the numberof projection directions of the complex signal in three-dimensional space is larger the corresponding envelope
signal is also more -us the envelope mean value is moreaccurate and the BEMD decomposition effect is betterIncreasing the number of projection directions can improvemodal aliasing Like EMD BEMD also produces falsecomponents when decomposing signals Generally speakingthe energy of the false components is low and these low-energy false components do not contain fault characteristicinformation and the introduction of the energy thresholdcriterion in the termination condition can increase thedecomposition speed of the BEMD
-e experimental results show that there is a certaindifference in the existence of vibration signal character-istics in different directions when rotating machinery failsIn addition when the number of projection directionsis increased the decomposition speed of BEMD willdecrease
6 Conclusions
We use BEMD and HT to extract the instantaneousamplitude-frequency features of rotor faults A bivariateinstantaneous feature extraction method based on the im-proved BEMD method and the HT is investigated whichextends the fault feature extraction technology to two di-mensions -e BEMD method is suitable to analyze thecomplex multicomponent bivariate signals -e mainsingle-component bivariate signals are separated from themulticomponent bivariate signals of the fan rotor bistabilityfor the oil film oscillation and the oil film vortex using the

In order to further verify the correctness of the in-stantaneous amplitude-frequency characteristics of theproposed method the real and imaginary parts of thecomposite fault signal z are analyzed separately using syn-chrosqueezed wavelet transforms (SWT) proposed in ref-erence [21]-e results are shown in Figure 22 It is seen thatthe time-frequency representations of the composite faultsignal z also include the AM-FM signal and the 1X signalwhich proves the correctness of the proposed methodCompared with the SWT method the instantaneousamplitude-frequency characteristics acquired by the HTmethod are relatively straightforward
44 lte Bistable Behavior Analysis of the Fan Rotor Based onBEMD -e bistability of the rotor is a nonlinear behaviorof the rotor-bearing system which is the state in which therotor jumps from one stable state to another forming astep -e bivariate signal of the bistable behavior iscomposed of two signals collected by two displacementsensors from orthogonal locations on the experimentaldevices in literature [22] as shown in Figure 23 Literature[22] shows that the cause of the bistable behavior remainsto be further explored -is paper uses this case to il-lustrate the feasibility of BEMD to analyze nonstationarysignals

signal c2 is considered to represent the extracted bistablebehavior signals -e HT is applied to the real andimaginary parts of c2 to obtain the instantaneous amplitudeand frequency of c2 from the left and right columns fromFigure 25 as shown in Figure 26 Figure 27 shows thethree-dimensional time domain of ax2 and ay2 from the leftand right columns respectively Figure 26 shows that thevibration signal amplitude on the left side of the fan de-creases from large to small opposite of the behavior ofthe right -e horizontal vibration signal amplitude on theleft side of the fan is larger than that of the vertical di-rection signal opposite of the right -is result validatesthat the vibration signals from different directions orpositions are different when the fan produces bistablebehavior In addition the time of the bistable behavior canbe determined according to the jump point of the am-plitude or frequency
5 Discussion
-e BEMD algorithm decomposes two orthogonal di-rections of vibration signals as a complex signal which is atwo-dimensional digital signal processing method thusensuring that the real and imaginary parts have the samedecomposition scale Similar to EMD the envelope mean iscritical for the decomposition effect of BEMD but the en-velope mean in BEMD is three-dimensional If the numberof projection directions of the complex signal in three-dimensional space is larger the corresponding envelope
signal is also more -us the envelope mean value is moreaccurate and the BEMD decomposition effect is betterIncreasing the number of projection directions can improvemodal aliasing Like EMD BEMD also produces falsecomponents when decomposing signals Generally speakingthe energy of the false components is low and these low-energy false components do not contain fault characteristicinformation and the introduction of the energy thresholdcriterion in the termination condition can increase thedecomposition speed of the BEMD
-e experimental results show that there is a certaindifference in the existence of vibration signal character-istics in different directions when rotating machinery failsIn addition when the number of projection directionsis increased the decomposition speed of BEMD willdecrease
6 Conclusions
We use BEMD and HT to extract the instantaneousamplitude-frequency features of rotor faults A bivariateinstantaneous feature extraction method based on the im-proved BEMD method and the HT is investigated whichextends the fault feature extraction technology to two di-mensions -e BEMD method is suitable to analyze thecomplex multicomponent bivariate signals -e mainsingle-component bivariate signals are separated from themulticomponent bivariate signals of the fan rotor bistabilityfor the oil film oscillation and the oil film vortex using the

In order to further verify the correctness of the in-stantaneous amplitude-frequency characteristics of theproposed method the real and imaginary parts of thecomposite fault signal z are analyzed separately using syn-chrosqueezed wavelet transforms (SWT) proposed in ref-erence [21]-e results are shown in Figure 22 It is seen thatthe time-frequency representations of the composite faultsignal z also include the AM-FM signal and the 1X signalwhich proves the correctness of the proposed methodCompared with the SWT method the instantaneousamplitude-frequency characteristics acquired by the HTmethod are relatively straightforward
44 lte Bistable Behavior Analysis of the Fan Rotor Based onBEMD -e bistability of the rotor is a nonlinear behaviorof the rotor-bearing system which is the state in which therotor jumps from one stable state to another forming astep -e bivariate signal of the bistable behavior iscomposed of two signals collected by two displacementsensors from orthogonal locations on the experimentaldevices in literature [22] as shown in Figure 23 Literature[22] shows that the cause of the bistable behavior remainsto be further explored -is paper uses this case to il-lustrate the feasibility of BEMD to analyze nonstationarysignals

signal c2 is considered to represent the extracted bistablebehavior signals -e HT is applied to the real andimaginary parts of c2 to obtain the instantaneous amplitudeand frequency of c2 from the left and right columns fromFigure 25 as shown in Figure 26 Figure 27 shows thethree-dimensional time domain of ax2 and ay2 from the leftand right columns respectively Figure 26 shows that thevibration signal amplitude on the left side of the fan de-creases from large to small opposite of the behavior ofthe right -e horizontal vibration signal amplitude on theleft side of the fan is larger than that of the vertical di-rection signal opposite of the right -is result validatesthat the vibration signals from different directions orpositions are different when the fan produces bistablebehavior In addition the time of the bistable behavior canbe determined according to the jump point of the am-plitude or frequency
5 Discussion
-e BEMD algorithm decomposes two orthogonal di-rections of vibration signals as a complex signal which is atwo-dimensional digital signal processing method thusensuring that the real and imaginary parts have the samedecomposition scale Similar to EMD the envelope mean iscritical for the decomposition effect of BEMD but the en-velope mean in BEMD is three-dimensional If the numberof projection directions of the complex signal in three-dimensional space is larger the corresponding envelope
signal is also more -us the envelope mean value is moreaccurate and the BEMD decomposition effect is betterIncreasing the number of projection directions can improvemodal aliasing Like EMD BEMD also produces falsecomponents when decomposing signals Generally speakingthe energy of the false components is low and these low-energy false components do not contain fault characteristicinformation and the introduction of the energy thresholdcriterion in the termination condition can increase thedecomposition speed of the BEMD
-e experimental results show that there is a certaindifference in the existence of vibration signal character-istics in different directions when rotating machinery failsIn addition when the number of projection directionsis increased the decomposition speed of BEMD willdecrease
6 Conclusions
We use BEMD and HT to extract the instantaneousamplitude-frequency features of rotor faults A bivariateinstantaneous feature extraction method based on the im-proved BEMD method and the HT is investigated whichextends the fault feature extraction technology to two di-mensions -e BEMD method is suitable to analyze thecomplex multicomponent bivariate signals -e mainsingle-component bivariate signals are separated from themulticomponent bivariate signals of the fan rotor bistabilityfor the oil film oscillation and the oil film vortex using the

signal c2 is considered to represent the extracted bistablebehavior signals -e HT is applied to the real andimaginary parts of c2 to obtain the instantaneous amplitudeand frequency of c2 from the left and right columns fromFigure 25 as shown in Figure 26 Figure 27 shows thethree-dimensional time domain of ax2 and ay2 from the leftand right columns respectively Figure 26 shows that thevibration signal amplitude on the left side of the fan de-creases from large to small opposite of the behavior ofthe right -e horizontal vibration signal amplitude on theleft side of the fan is larger than that of the vertical di-rection signal opposite of the right -is result validatesthat the vibration signals from different directions orpositions are different when the fan produces bistablebehavior In addition the time of the bistable behavior canbe determined according to the jump point of the am-plitude or frequency
5 Discussion
-e BEMD algorithm decomposes two orthogonal di-rections of vibration signals as a complex signal which is atwo-dimensional digital signal processing method thusensuring that the real and imaginary parts have the samedecomposition scale Similar to EMD the envelope mean iscritical for the decomposition effect of BEMD but the en-velope mean in BEMD is three-dimensional If the numberof projection directions of the complex signal in three-dimensional space is larger the corresponding envelope
signal is also more -us the envelope mean value is moreaccurate and the BEMD decomposition effect is betterIncreasing the number of projection directions can improvemodal aliasing Like EMD BEMD also produces falsecomponents when decomposing signals Generally speakingthe energy of the false components is low and these low-energy false components do not contain fault characteristicinformation and the introduction of the energy thresholdcriterion in the termination condition can increase thedecomposition speed of the BEMD
-e experimental results show that there is a certaindifference in the existence of vibration signal character-istics in different directions when rotating machinery failsIn addition when the number of projection directionsis increased the decomposition speed of BEMD willdecrease
6 Conclusions
We use BEMD and HT to extract the instantaneousamplitude-frequency features of rotor faults A bivariateinstantaneous feature extraction method based on the im-proved BEMD method and the HT is investigated whichextends the fault feature extraction technology to two di-mensions -e BEMD method is suitable to analyze thecomplex multicomponent bivariate signals -e mainsingle-component bivariate signals are separated from themulticomponent bivariate signals of the fan rotor bistabilityfor the oil film oscillation and the oil film vortex using the

signal c2 is considered to represent the extracted bistablebehavior signals -e HT is applied to the real andimaginary parts of c2 to obtain the instantaneous amplitudeand frequency of c2 from the left and right columns fromFigure 25 as shown in Figure 26 Figure 27 shows thethree-dimensional time domain of ax2 and ay2 from the leftand right columns respectively Figure 26 shows that thevibration signal amplitude on the left side of the fan de-creases from large to small opposite of the behavior ofthe right -e horizontal vibration signal amplitude on theleft side of the fan is larger than that of the vertical di-rection signal opposite of the right -is result validatesthat the vibration signals from different directions orpositions are different when the fan produces bistablebehavior In addition the time of the bistable behavior canbe determined according to the jump point of the am-plitude or frequency
5 Discussion
-e BEMD algorithm decomposes two orthogonal di-rections of vibration signals as a complex signal which is atwo-dimensional digital signal processing method thusensuring that the real and imaginary parts have the samedecomposition scale Similar to EMD the envelope mean iscritical for the decomposition effect of BEMD but the en-velope mean in BEMD is three-dimensional If the numberof projection directions of the complex signal in three-dimensional space is larger the corresponding envelope
signal is also more -us the envelope mean value is moreaccurate and the BEMD decomposition effect is betterIncreasing the number of projection directions can improvemodal aliasing Like EMD BEMD also produces falsecomponents when decomposing signals Generally speakingthe energy of the false components is low and these low-energy false components do not contain fault characteristicinformation and the introduction of the energy thresholdcriterion in the termination condition can increase thedecomposition speed of the BEMD
-e experimental results show that there is a certaindifference in the existence of vibration signal character-istics in different directions when rotating machinery failsIn addition when the number of projection directionsis increased the decomposition speed of BEMD willdecrease
6 Conclusions
We use BEMD and HT to extract the instantaneousamplitude-frequency features of rotor faults A bivariateinstantaneous feature extraction method based on the im-proved BEMD method and the HT is investigated whichextends the fault feature extraction technology to two di-mensions -e BEMD method is suitable to analyze thecomplex multicomponent bivariate signals -e mainsingle-component bivariate signals are separated from themulticomponent bivariate signals of the fan rotor bistabilityfor the oil film oscillation and the oil film vortex using the

signal c2 is considered to represent the extracted bistablebehavior signals -e HT is applied to the real andimaginary parts of c2 to obtain the instantaneous amplitudeand frequency of c2 from the left and right columns fromFigure 25 as shown in Figure 26 Figure 27 shows thethree-dimensional time domain of ax2 and ay2 from the leftand right columns respectively Figure 26 shows that thevibration signal amplitude on the left side of the fan de-creases from large to small opposite of the behavior ofthe right -e horizontal vibration signal amplitude on theleft side of the fan is larger than that of the vertical di-rection signal opposite of the right -is result validatesthat the vibration signals from different directions orpositions are different when the fan produces bistablebehavior In addition the time of the bistable behavior canbe determined according to the jump point of the am-plitude or frequency
5 Discussion
-e BEMD algorithm decomposes two orthogonal di-rections of vibration signals as a complex signal which is atwo-dimensional digital signal processing method thusensuring that the real and imaginary parts have the samedecomposition scale Similar to EMD the envelope mean iscritical for the decomposition effect of BEMD but the en-velope mean in BEMD is three-dimensional If the numberof projection directions of the complex signal in three-dimensional space is larger the corresponding envelope
signal is also more -us the envelope mean value is moreaccurate and the BEMD decomposition effect is betterIncreasing the number of projection directions can improvemodal aliasing Like EMD BEMD also produces falsecomponents when decomposing signals Generally speakingthe energy of the false components is low and these low-energy false components do not contain fault characteristicinformation and the introduction of the energy thresholdcriterion in the termination condition can increase thedecomposition speed of the BEMD
-e experimental results show that there is a certaindifference in the existence of vibration signal character-istics in different directions when rotating machinery failsIn addition when the number of projection directionsis increased the decomposition speed of BEMD willdecrease
6 Conclusions
We use BEMD and HT to extract the instantaneousamplitude-frequency features of rotor faults A bivariateinstantaneous feature extraction method based on the im-proved BEMD method and the HT is investigated whichextends the fault feature extraction technology to two di-mensions -e BEMD method is suitable to analyze thecomplex multicomponent bivariate signals -e mainsingle-component bivariate signals are separated from themulticomponent bivariate signals of the fan rotor bistabilityfor the oil film oscillation and the oil film vortex using the
