    Abstract Machinery failure diagnosis is an important

    component of the condition based maintenance (CBM)activities for most engineering systems. Rolling element

    bearings are the most common cause of rotating machinery

    failure. The existence of the amplitude modulation and

    noises in the faulty bearing vibration signal present

    challenges to effective fault detection method. The wavelet

    transform has been widely used in signal de-noising, due to

    its extraordinary time-frequency representation capability.

    In this paper, a new technique for rolling element bearing

    fault diagnosis based on the autocorrelation of wavelet de-

    noised vibration signal is applied. The wavelet base

    function has been derived from the bearing impulse

    response. To enhance the fault detection process the

    wavelet shape parameters (damping factor and center

    frequency) are optimized based on kurtosis maximization

    criteria. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed

    technique in revealing the bearing fault impulses and itsperiodicity for both simulated and real rolling bearing

    vibration signals.

    1 Introduction

    Every time the rolling element hits a defect in the raceway,

    an impulse of short duration is generated, which in turn

    excites the bearing system resonance frequencies. There-

    fore, the overall vibration signal measured on the bearing

    housing shows a pattern consisting of succession of

    oscillating bursts dominated by the major bearing system

    resonance frequency. The duration of the impulse is

    extremely short compared with the interval between

    impulses, and so its energy is distributed at a very low

    level over a wide range of frequency and, hence, can be

    easily masked by noise and low frequency effects. Theses

    impulses will occur with a frequency determined by the

    velocity of the rolling element, the location of the defect

    and the bearing geometry and denoted as bearing charac-

    teristic frequencies (BCF); see the appendix.

    The rolling elements experience some slippage as the

    rolling elements enter and leave the bearing load zone. As a

    consequence, the occurrence of the impacts never repro-

    duce exactly at the same position from one cycle to another.

    Moreover when the position of the defect is moving with

    respect to the load distribution of the bearing, the series of

    impulses is modulated in amplitude. However, the period-

    icity and the amplitude of the impulses experience a certain

    degree of randomness [14]. In such case, the signal is not

    strictly periodic, but can be considered as cyclo-stationary

    (periodically time-varying statistics), then the cyclic sec-

    ond-order statistics (such as cyclic-autocorrelation and

    cyclic spectral density) are suited to demodulate the signal

    and extract the fault feature [57]. All these make the

    bearing defects very difficult to detect by conventional fast

    Fourier transform (FFT) spectrum analysis, which assumesthat the analyzed signal to be strictly periodic.

    The wavelet transform provides powerful multi-resolution

    analysis in both time and frequency domain, thereby

    becoming a favored tool to extract the transitory features of

    non-stationary vibration signal produced by the faulty bearing

    [814]. The wavelet analysis results in a series of wavelet

    coefficients, which indicate how close the signal is to the

    particular wavelet. In order to extract the fault features of the

    signal more effectively appropriate wavelet base function

    should be selected [1521].

    The wavelet de-noising technique included of decom-

    poses the signal using wavelet transform, threshold the

    resulting coefficients to eliminate the redundant information

    and further enhance the interested spectral features of the

    signal, then reconstruct the signal from the threshold

    wavelet coefficients using inverse wavelet transform.

    Wavelet de-noising using a Morlet wavelet as a base

    function has been used to extract the impulses for bearingand gear faults detection by J. Lin et al. in [ 22]. Y. Shao and

    K. Nezu [23] combined the wavelet de-noising with

    adaptive noise canceling filter to improve the signal-to-

    noise ratio when the signal is contaminated by noise for

    incipient bearing fault detection. H. Qiu et al. [24]

    optimized the Morlet wavelet shape factor using the

    minimal Shannon entropy criteria when applied as a base

    function in wavelet de-noising for bearing fault diagnosis.

    S. Abbasion et al. [25] proposed discrete Meyer wavelet as

    base function for signal de-noising and bearing fault

    In this paper, a new technique based on the wavelet

    de-noising method for rolling bearing fault detection has

    been developed and tested on both simulated and real

    bearing vibration signals. To enhance the generated

    wavelet coefficients related to the bearing fault impulses,

    the wavelet base function has been constructed based onthe impulse response of the bearing system. Moreover, the

    wavelet shape parameters are optimized using maximum

    kurtosis criteria.

    The remaining sections of the paper are as follows: In

    the next section the vibration model for rolling bearing with

    outer and inner-races fault is derived. In Sect. 3 the

    procedures of the proposed approach is set up. The

    implementations of the proposed approach for detection of

    localized ball bearing defects for both simulated and actual

    bearing vibration signals are presented in Sect. 4. Finally,

    the conclusions are given in Sect. 5.

    2 Vibration model for rolling element bearing localized

    defects

    Every time the rolling element strikes a defect in the

    raceway or every time a defect in the rolling element hits

    the raceway, a force impulse of short duration is produced,

    which in turn excites the natural frequencies of the bearing

    parts and housing structure. The structure resonance in the

    system acts as an amplifier of low energy impacts.

    Therefore, the overall vibration signal measured on the

    bearing shows a pattern consisting of a succession of

    oscillating bursts dominated by the major resonance

    frequency of the structure.

    The response of the bearing structure as an under-

    damped second-order mass-spring-damper system to a

    single impulse force is given by the following [30]:

    S t

    Ce

    x

    p wdtsin wdt

    1

    where is the damping ratio, d is the damped naturalfrequency of the bearing structure, and C is an amplitude

    scaling factor.

    As the shaft rotates, this process occurs periodically

    every time a defect hits another part of the bearing, and its

    rate of occurrence is equal to one of the BCF. In reality,

    there is a slight random fluctuation in the spacing between

    impulses because the load angle on each rolling element

    changes as the rolling element passes through the load

    zone. Furthermore, the amplitude of the impulse response

    will be modulated as a result of the passage of the fault

    through the load zone:

    x t X

    i

    AiS t T n t 2

    where S(t-Ti) is the waveform generated by the ith impact at

    the time Ti, and Ti =iT+i, where T is the average time

    between two impacts, and i describe the random slips of

    the rolling elements. Ai is the time varying amplitude-

    demodulation, and n(t) is an additive background noise

    which takes into account the effects of the other vibrations

    in the bearing structure.

    Figure 1a and b show the acceleration signals (d2x(t)/

    dt2) generated by the model in Eq. 2 with random slip

    () of 10% of the period T and signal-to-noise ratio of

    0.6 dB for outer-race and inner-race bearing faults,

    respectively.

    3 Wavelet de-noising technique

    The wavelet transform (WT) is the inner product of a time

    domain signal with the translated and dialed wavelet-base

    function. The wavelet transform resulting coefficients

    reflect the correlation between the signal and the selected

    wavelet-base function. Therefore, to increase the amplitudeof the generated wavelet coefficients related to the fault

    impulses, and to enhance the fault detection process, the

    selected wavelet-base function should be similar in charac-

    teristics to the bearing impulse response generated by

    presence of bearing incipient fault, Eq. 1. Based on that,

    the proposed wavelet-base function is denoted as impulse-

    response wavelet and given by

    where is the damping factor that control the decay rate of

    the exponential envelop in the time, hence regulating the

    resolution of the wavelet, simultaneously corresponds to the

    frequency bandwidth of the wavelet in the frequency

    domain, c determining the number of significant oscil-lations of the wavelet in the time domain and correspond to

    the wavelet centre frequency in frequency domain, and A is

    an arbitrary scaling factor. Figure 2 shows the proposed

    wavelet and its power spectrum.

    The proposed wavelet satisfy the admissibility condition,

    Cg Z1

    1

    b= f j j2f

    df< 1 4

    where Cg is the admissibility constant and, y^(f) is the

    Fourier transform ofy (t). This implies that the wavelet has

    no zero frequency component, y^

    (0)=0 or, the wavelety(t)must have a zero mean [31].

    The proposed wavelet de-noising technique consists of

    the following steps:

    1 Optimize the wavelet shape parameters ( and c)

    based on maximization kurtosis of the signal-wavelet

    inner product.

    It is possible to find optimal values of and c for a

    given vibration signal by adjusting the time-frequency

    resolution of the Impulse wavelet to the decay rate and

    frequency of impulses to be extracted. Kurtosis is an

    indicator that reflects thepeakiness

    of a signal, which is

    a property of the impulses and also it measures the

    divergence from a fundamental Gaussian distribution. A

    high kurtosis value indicates high impulsive content of the

    signal with more sharpness in the signal intensity distribu-

    tion. Figure 3 shows the kurtosis value and the intensity

    distribution for a white noise signal, pure impulsive signal,

    and impulsive signal mixed with noise.

    The objective of the impulse wavelet shape optimization

    process is to find out the wavelet shape parameters ( and

    c), which maximize the kurtosis of the wavelet transform

    4 Wavelet de-noising technique for rolling bearing fault

    detection

    To demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach,

    this section presents several application examples for the

    detection of localized bearing defects. In all the examples,

    the impulse wavelet has been used as a wavelet base-

    function. The wavelet parameters (damping factor and

    centre frequency) are optimized based on maximizing the

    kurtosis value for the wavelet coefficients as shown in

    Fig. 4.

    To evaluate the performance of the proposed method,

    the autocorrelation functions of the optimized impulse

    wavelet, impulse wavelet with non-optimized parameters,

    and the widely used Morlet wavelet are carried out and

    the increased effectiveness of the optimized impulse

    wavelet over non-optimized impulse and Morlet wavelet

    for extraction of the bearing fault impulses and period-

    icity. Consequently the performance of the bearing fault

    diagnosis process has been increased using the proposed

    technique.

    4.1 Simulated vibration data

    For a rolling element bearing with pitch diameter of

    51.16 mm, ball diameter of 11.9 mm, with eight rolling

    elements and 0 contact angle, the calculated BCFs (see the

    appendix) for shaft rotational speed of 1,797 rpm are

    107.36 Hz and 162.18 Hz for outer and inner-race fault,

    respectively. Figure 1a and b show the time domain

    waveform of the simulated signals for rolling bearing with

    outer and inner-race faults based on the model described in

    Sect. 2. The results of the wavelet de-noising method

    (wavelet transform, shrink the wavelet coefficients and the

    inverse wavelet transform) for rolling bearing with outer

    and inner race faults using the optimized impulse waveletare displayed in Fig. 1c and d, respectively. The results

    show that the signal noise has been diminished and the

    impulses generated by the faulty bearing are easy to

    identify in the wavelet de-noised signal. The impulse

    periodicity of 0.00975 s (fo =102.564 Hz) for outer-race

    fault and 0.006167 s (fi =162.153 Hz) for inner-race fault

    are effectively extracted through the auto-correlation of the

    de-noised signal, Fig. 1e and f, which are exactly matching

    the theoretical estimation of the BCF.

    4.2 Experimental vibration data

    A B&K 752A12 piezoelectric accelerometer was used to

    collect the vibration signals for an outer race defective,

    deep groove, ball bearing (with same simulated specifica-

    tions) at different shaft rotational speeds. The vibration

    signals were transferred to the PC through a B&K

    controller module type 7536 with data sampling frequency

    of 12.8 kHz. Based on the bearing parameters, the

    calculated outer race fault characteristic frequency is

    0.05115 times the shaft rotational speed (rpm).

    Figures 6, 7, 8 show the application of the proposed

    wavelet de-noising technique for rolling bearing with outer-

    race fault at different shaft rotational speed. The bearing

    fault impulses and their periodicity are easily defined in the

    wavelet de-noised signal and the de-noised autocorrelation

    function, respectively. The comparison of Figs. 6c, 7c and

    8c shows the sensitivity of the proposed de-noising

    technique to the variation of the BCF as a result of

    variation in the of shaft rotational speed as listed in Table 1.

    4.3 CWRU vibration data

    We use data given by the Case Western Reserve University

    (CWRU) website [32] for rolling bearings seeded with

    outer and inner race faults using electro discharge machin-

    ing (EDM). The calculated defect frequencies are 3.5848

    and 5.4152 times the shaft rotational speed (Hz) for outer

    and inner race fault, respectively. At shaft rotational speed

    of 1797 rpm the calculated BCF are 107.36 Hz for outer-

    race fault and, 162.185 Hz for inner-race fault. The time

    course of the vibration signal for bearings with outer and

    inner race faults, the corresponding wavelet de-noised

    signal and the auto-correlation function are depicted in

    Fig. 9a and b, respectively. The autocorrelation functions of

    the de-noised signal reveal a periodicity of 0.009333 s (fo=

    107.14 Hz) and 0.006167 s (fi =162.153 Hz) for outer and

    inner race fault, respectively, which are very close to the

    calculated BCF.

    5 Conclusions

    A new approach for rolling bearing fault diagnosis based on

    wavelet de-noising technique with wavelet-base function

    derived from the impulse response of the bearing system is

    presented. Wavelet shape parameters have been optimized

    using maximum kurtosis criteria. The results for both

    simulated as well as actual bearing vibration signals show

    the effectiveness of the proposed approach to extract the

    rolling bearing fault impulses buried in the noisy vibration

    signal, and evaluate its periodicity using auto-correlation

    function of the wavelet de-noised vibration signal.

    Appendix

    Fault bearing characteristic frequencies (BCF)

    Each bearing element has its own characteristic frequency

    of defect. Those frequencies can be calculated from the

    kinematics relation, i.e., the geometry of the bearing and its

    rotating speed. For a bearing with a stationary outer race,

    the above defect characteristic frequencies can be obtained

    as follows:

    Characteristic frequency of the outer-race:

    fo in:Hz 0:5zf 1 dD

    cos

    1

    Characteristic frequency of the inner race:

    fi in:Hz 0:5zf 1 dD

    cos

    2

    Characteristic frequency of the rollers:

    fr in:Hz fDd

    1 dD

    cos

    2" #3

    Characteristic frequency of the cage:

    fC f2

    1 dD

    cos !
