1 Introduction

Rolling bearings play an important role in rotatingmachineryHowever due to their loud sound poor damping and shockresistance features the failure rate is higher compared withother parts Scholars home and abroad have paid more at-tention on healthy monitoring and fault diagnosis of rollingbearings [1ndash4] Particularly under the long-term and high-speed operation the rolling bearingsmay easily produce somedifferent faults such as peeling abrasion and gluing As isknown to all in the field of mechanical fault diagnosis thefeature extraction method of vibration signal is continuouslyimproved with the development of signal processing tech-nology Various advanced fault feature extraction methodshave been extensively studied [5ndash8] For the vibration signalof rolling bearings it usually presents multisource impactcharacteristics which are typically nonlinear and non-stationary [9 10] Because of the special mapping relationshipbetween the excitation of equipment components and thefrequency of vibration signals the focus of mechanical faultdiagnosis research is mainly on spectral analysis and time-frequency analysis [11 12]

At present there are two frequency concepts that are wellknown One is the traditional frequency defined for har-monic signals [13] and the other is the instantaneous fre-quency defined for the narrowband signal [14] For a longtime the concept of frequency has only a clear physicalmeaning for the dynamic signal of a simple harmonic vi-bration Since Joseph Fourier proposed the mathematicalexpression of the Fourier transform the traditional fre-quency obtained a perfect physical interpretation in thefeature extraction of both the periodic and nonperiodicsignals But the Fourier transform can only obtain in-formation on which harmonic frequency components andrelative intensity information of each component are con-tained and cannot obtain information on how these fre-quency components evolve with time -erefore it is themost effective tool for analyzing and processing the sta-tionary signal When the signal is nonstationary the featureextracted by the Fourier transform only measures the degreeof similarity between the signal and the harmonic basisfunction rather than the actual frequency information of thevibration signal [15] -e concept of instantaneous fre-quency can effectively measure the time-varying features of

nonstationary signals It has been successfully applied in thefields of radar sonar detection seismic monitoring elec-tronic communication and mechanical equipment faultdiagnosis [16 17] However the instantaneous frequencyhas only a clear physical meaning for the narrowband signalIt is considered that the narrowband signal has only onefrequency component at each instantaneous time point andmuch large-scale frequency information is lost Even formany nonstationary signals there is lack of clear physicalmeaning and even cannot be calculated

In the past few decades a series of theories and tech-niques of adaptive signal decomposition and transientfeature extraction have been developed and widely used invarious disciplines and engineering fields (eg Fouriertransform [18] short-time Fourier transform [19] wavelettransform [20] second-generation wavelet transform [21]multiwavelet transform [22] chirplet transform [23] andatomic decomposition [24]) All of them are based on thebasic function expansion of the inner product transformprinciple performing the similarity measure between thesignal and the basis function [25] However for the rollingbearings the vibration signal represents strong nonlinearitynonstationarity and multisource impact so it is unlikely toadapt all waveform features using one or several given basisfunctions In the absence of sufficient prior knowledge if afixed basis function is employed for signal decompositionerroneous information will be generated and the physicalmeaning will be unclear Feature information sufficient toidentify the fault is difficult to extract In recent years someadaptive signal decomposition methods including empiricalmode decomposition (EMD) [26] local mean de-composition (LMD) [27] and local characteristic-scale de-composition (LCD) [28] wavelet modulus maxima andsynchronous detection [29] improved orthogonal matchingpursuit and K-SVD algorithm with adaptive transient dic-tionary [30] have been gradually proposed -ose methodsare not required to predict the feature information containedin the analyzed signal and they completely follow thewaveform of the signal -us they exhibit good adaptabilityin signal processing

Although many related achievements have beenachieved in the field they also have the following problems(1) -e magnitude of the feature amplitudes under differentstates is greatly different the real physical meaning is am-biguous and the comparability is poor (2) -e featureamplitude under the same state may be fluctuated greatlywith different samples so the repeatability and stability ofthe results are poor (3) -e effects of noise interference aredifferent to the accuracy of the results -ose problems areclosely related to the nonlinear dynamic characteristics ofrolling bearings How to judge and quantitatively describethe nonlinearity and evolution of rolling bearings underdifferent states is an important prerequisite for fault di-agnosis In the field of nonlinearity some quantitative in-dicators including Lyapunov exponents [31] correlationdimension [32] entropy [33] and complexity [34] have beenwell applied Among of them the LempelndashZiv complexity(LZC) has many good advantages to measure the time seriesarose from the nonlinear dynamics system which have been

used widely in data compression [35] coding [36] gener-ation of test signals [37] and so on Additionally comparedwith the methods of spectral analysis and time-frequencyanalysis the LZC method can detect the long-range cor-relations embedded in the seemingly nonstationary timeseries and also avoid the spurious detection of apparentlong-range correlations that are an artifact of nonstationarity[38]

In order to improve the diagnosis accuracy of rollingbearings effective and quantitative features should beextracted firstly On the one hand the vibration signal ofrolling bearings represents the complex feature of non-linearity and nonstationarity the typical and useful featureinformation may be not significant On the other hand thevibration signal of rolling bearings may be strongly influ-enced by background noise For solving the above problemsan integration approach based on adaptive waveform de-composition (AWD) and LempelndashZiv complexity (LZC) wasproposed Using the AWD method the nonstationarymulticomponent signal of rolling bearings can be convertedinto a series of stationary single component signal which arerich in useful feature information -e LZC method is ap-plied to quantitatively describe the complexity of nonlinearsignal in the time-frequency domain -erefore both theAWD method and LZC algorithm have their own functionin improving the diagnosis accuracy of rolling bearings andthe integration methods of AWD and LZC will have the besteffect

2 Time-Frequency Feature Extraction Based onLocal Frequency and AdaptiveWaveform Decomposition

21 Definition of Local Frequency For an arbitrary signalx(t) assume that the corresponding discrete time series isx(i) ∣ i 1 2 3 n -e time domain waveform of thesignal x(t) is shown in Figure 1 and the local maximum ofthe x(t) satisfies the following equation

x(i)gex(iminus 1)

x(i)gex(i + 1)

x(iminus 1)nex(i + 1)

(1)

From the minimum waveform required to complete avibration the original signal can be approximated as con-sisting of a series of V waves containing two adjacentmaxima as shown in Figure 2

Assuming that the V wave start position tk is the time atwhich the kth local maximum value in the original signal x(t)is located and k 1 2 3 middot middot middot N according to the V wave thelocal period T(t) of the original signal x(t) can be defined asfollows

T(t) tk+1 minus tk tk le tlt tk+1 (2)

where T(t) represents the time required for the signal tocomplete a complete local vibration over a local time range

Similarly a local mean m(t) and a local amplitude a(t)are also given below

a(t) x tk( 1113857 + x tk+1( 1113857

2 tk le tlt tk+1 (4)

where nk is the number of samples contained between thekth maximum and the k+ 1th maximum

According to formula (2) the local frequency is definedas the reciprocal of the local period ie

v(t) 1

T(t)

1tk+1 minus tk

tk le tlt tk+1 (5)

where the local frequency v(t) represents the number of timescompleting the vibration in a unit of local time It is used tomeasure the speed of local vibration and the unit is still Hz

-e characteristic curves of local amplitude a(t) localmean m(t) and local frequency v(t) calculated by equations(3) to (4) are all broken lines In order to improve the ac-curacy of analysis results and to get a smoother curve themoving average (MA) technology is applied for processingthe curves and the principle is as follows [39]

Let the original broken line sequence be y(i) ∣ i 1113864

1 2 3 n Every point after being smoothed shouldsatisfy the formula as follows

yprime(i) 1

2N + 1[y(iminusN) + y(iminusN + 1) + + y(i + Nminus 1)

+ y(i + N)]

(6)

where 2N+ 1 is a smooth interval span 2N+ 1lt nObviously the difference in span selection has a direct

influence on the smoothing effect which will cause differenterrors in the calculation results of the local feature quantitiesFor the impact signal in order to ensure that the impactextreme value is not lost during the smoothing process it isnecessary to adjust the span to 15 of the maximum intervalof the adjacent maximum value as the best effect -esmoothing result of the characteristic curve of the arbitrarysignal x(t) is shown in Figures 3 and 4

22 Construction of Time-Frequency Distribution Based onLocal Frequency In order to analyze the nonstationarysignal it is necessary to construct a method of time-fre-quency distribution based on local frequency According tothe local amplitude curve a(t) defined in equation (4) itrepresents the absolute amplitude of the V-wave in acomplete local period In order to eliminate the influence ofthe equilibrium position point fluctuation the local meancurve m(t) should be removed ie

aprime(t) |a(t)minusm(t)| (7)

where aprime(t) represents the fluctuation amplitude of the localfrequency component v(t) respected to the equilibriumposition with time

Plotting the time t the local frequency v(t) and the localamplitude aprime(t) on a three-dimensional map and the localamplitude aprime(t) is represented by a contour of a different color-en a typical time-frequency distribution diagram of thesignal x(t) based on the local frequency is formed Figure 5shows the time-frequency distribution of the signal x(t) isconsistent with the local frequency feature extracted in Figure 4

23 Adaptive Waveform Decomposition AlgorithmAccording to definition of local frequency and its time-frequency distribution we can only analyze the signal withsingle component For many test signals of machine itusually contains various components from different exci-tations So if we want to extract the time-frequency featureof each component the multicomponent signal should bedecomposed firstly In the calculation of the traditionalfrequency and instantaneous frequency of the multicom-ponent nonstationary signal the signal can be finally re-duced to the following two forms

k1ck sin kωt + θk( 1113857

x(t) 1113944N

k1ak(t)cos ϕk(t) + R(t)

(8)

where R(t) is the residual term-e two forms of decomposition have great similarities

all of which express frequency information in a superpo-sition of multiple harmonic waveforms However theactual complex signals often do not have harmonicwaveform characteristics andmay be composed of a limited

number of other shape waveforms Considering the effi-ciency accuracy and frequency physical meaning of signaldecomposition the harmonic waveform combination doesnot conform to the essential features of the signal-erefore based on the local frequency concept a newadaptive waveform decomposition (AWD) method isproposed to adapt to the feature extraction of non-stationary signal with multicomponents

x(t) 1113944N

m1sm(t) + W(t) (9)

where sm(t) represents themth waveform function containedin the original signal and W(t) is the residual term -eimplementation process is as follows

(1) Assume that the discrete time series correspondingto the signal x(t) is x(i) ∣ i 1 2 3 n -enaccording to formula (12) find the local maxima n1in the signal x(t) as the first layer extreme valuesequence p1(k) ∣ k 1 2 3 N11113864 1113865

(2) Calculate the local amplitude a1(t) the local meanm1(t) and the local frequency v1(t) corresponding tothe first-order extreme value sequence p1(t)according to formulas (3) to (5)

(3) Smooth a1(t) m1(t) and v1(t) using the movingaverage technique

(4) De-average the local amplitude to obtain the am-plitude envelope curve a1prime(t) which is

a1prime(t) a(t)minusm(t) (10)

(5) Similarly find the n2 local maxima as the secondlayer p2(k) ∣ k 1 2 3 N21113864 1113865 in the first layer ofextreme sequence p1(k) ∣ k 1 2 3 N21113864 1113865continue smoothing and de-averaging processing toobtain the amplitude envelope curve a2prime(t) accordingto steps (2) (3) and (4)

(6) Repeat the above steps until you find the m-th orderextremum sequence pm(k) ∣ k 1 2 3 Nm1113864 1113865When it satisfiesNmle 2 the decomposition is ended

According to the above method x(t) can obtain mminus 1amplitude envelope curves a1prime(t) a2prime(t) amminus1prime (t) so eachcomponent decomposed from x(t) is obtained as follows

-e abovementioned decomposition process only de-pends on characteristics of the signal x(t) itself and the localfrequency of each components s1(t) s2(t) sm(t) doesnot depend on the harmonic form -erefore the proposedAWD method has good adaptability

24 Applicability Analysis of the Proposed Method In thissection some simulation examples are taken as the researchobject and the main characteristics of the proposed methodabove in time-frequency analysis of multicomponent signalsare described in detail by comparing with the EMD (em-pirical mode decomposition) method [40]

241 Combination of Multiple Harmonic Signals

x1(t) sin(2π middot 10 middot t) + sin(2π middot 30 middot t) + sin(2π middot 80 middot t)

(12)

Figure 6 shows the decomposition effects of the simu-lation signal x2(t) based on AWD and EMD Obviously bothof them can effectively extract the three harmonic wave-forms contained in the original signal which are decom-posed from high frequency to low frequency respectively Asthe number of decomposition layers increases the distancebetween the first extreme point of the layer and the first datapoint increases Whether it is the sliding average method orthe spline envelope method it is difficult to give a satis-factory fit Although many scholars have given various end-point extension methods it has always been ineffective fornonlinear and nonstationary signals

Figure 7 shows the time-frequency distribution result ofthe signal x1(t) based on the fusion method of local fre-quency and AWD and Figure 8 shows the result based onthe fusion method of instantaneous frequency and EMD Itcan be seen that both the local frequency and instantaneousfrequency can accurately represent the stationary distribu-tion of the three harmonic components in the original signalx1(t) But the time-frequency resolution of the fusionmethod of local frequency and AWD is higher than thefusion method of instantaneous frequency and EMD

242 Combination of Harmonic Signal and FM-AM Signal

Figure 9 shows the decomposition effects of the sim-ulation signal x2(t) based on AWD and EMD Similarlythere is still a high degree of coincidence and the signalx2(t) is adaptively decomposed into three components Itcan be seen that the first layer of AWD and EMD result is

the FM-AM component the second layer is the harmoniccomponent and the third layer is the trend term

Figure 10 shows the time-frequency distribution result ofthe signal x2(t) based on the fusion method of local fre-quency and AWD and Figure 11 shows the result based onthe fusion method of instantaneous frequency and EMD

In the time-frequency distribution result of the signalx2(t) based on the fusion method of local frequency andAWD as shown in Figure 10 the 30Hz stationary harmonicand FM-AM with 150Hz carrier frequency are clearly

extracted However in Figure 11 the fusion method ofinstantaneous frequency and EMD generate some in-terference information at the low frequency because of thetrend term Additionally comparing Figure 10 withFigure 11 it can be seen that the time-frequency featuresextracted by using the proposed method in this paper haveno false redundant frequency and the resolution is sig-nificantly higher

In summary by comparing the time-frequency analysisof the multicomponent signals it is shown that both the

AWD and the EMD can achieve a good adaptive de-composition effect and both of them have the same accu-racy However in time-frequency analysis the localfrequency is clearer in resolution than instantaneous fre-quency and it not only has clear physical meaning but alsocontains less interference components -erefore the pro-posed method can accurately obtain the essential features ofthe frequency components contained in the original signaland its validity and applicability is verified according tosimulation signals above

3 Quantitative Measure of the Complexity ofNonlinear Time Series

31 Algorithm of LZC -e definition of complex measure isproposed by Kolmogorov and is characterized by thenumber of bits of the shortest program required to produce asequence of symbols Later Lempel and Ziv proposed analgorithm to achieve this complexity called LempelndashZivcomplexity (LZC) which is widely used in nonlinear sci-entific research [41] LZC analysis is based on coarsegraining of the measurements Before the LZC measure iscalculated the time series must be transformed into a finitesymbol sequence Generally an arbitrary time seriesx(i) ∣ i 1 2 3 middot middot middot n is converted into a binary series Bycomparison with the threshold x(i) is converted into a 0-1series S(i) ∣ i 1 2 3 middot middot middot n as follows [42]

S(i) 0 x(i)lt xave

1 x(i)ge xave1113896 (14)

where xave is the mean of time series of x(i) -en the LZCmeasure can be estimated by using the following algorithmas shown in Figure 12

-e abovementioned algorithm is repeated until Q is thelast character -e measure of complexity is c(n) In order toobtain a complexity measure which is independent of theseries length c(n) must be normalized If the length of thesequence is n and the number of different symbols in thesymbol set is 2 it has been proved that the upper bound ofc(n) is given by

c(n) b(n) n

log2(n) (15)

and c(n) can be normalized via b(n)

0leC c(n)

b(n)le 1 (16)

where the normalized complexity index C is called theLempelndashZiv complexity

Obviously equation (17) can be established only if thesample length n is large enough -e literature has given theexperience valve nge 3600 [43] -e complexity index Cpresents the random degree of time series For the com-pletely random time series C is close to 1 On the contrarythe periodic time series is close to 0 In practice the vibrationsignals of reciprocating compressor vary with each faultstates randomly so the LZC can be extracted as a usefulmeasure for machine health condition feature

32 Performance Experiment of LZC To identify the effec-tiveness of LZC method the typical nonlinear dynamicalsystem is taken as an example to investigate the performanceof LZC Consider the following logistic map [44]

xn+1 λ middot xn middot 1minusxn( 1113857 (17)

where xn isin [0 1] λ isin [28 4] λ is the control parameters andthe step size is 001 -e sample length of nonlinear timeseries is N 5000

According to the LZC algorithm the complexity index Cof logistic map with different parameters λ can be calculated-e result is shown in Figure 13

Observe Figures 13(a) and 13(b) it indicates the dynamicalbehaviour of logistic map with different control parameters λ-e trends of Lyapunov exponent and the complexity index Care much synchronous When 28le λlt 357 the Lyapunovexponent is less than zero and it shows that the logistic systementers in the periodic or quasiperiodic region Moreover mostvalues of LZC are close to zero When 357lt λle 4 Lyapunovexponent is greater than zero it indicates that the systementers the chaos region Meanwhile the complexity index Ctends to be around 05 During this region the Lyapunovexponent less than zero including λ 363 λ 374 andλ 383 are called periodic windows In these regions thecomplexity index C is still close to zero

In summary LZC can be used as identifying the dy-namical behaviour of nonlinear system effectively -eanalysis results are stable and reliable when the number ofsamples increase -erefore the LZC value of differentsystem states can be compared together without any priorknowledge about fault mechanism

Figure 15 shows the time domain waveform of the vi-bration signal of rolling bearing in four states including thenormal state inner ring fault state outer ring fault state androlling element fault state -e rotation speed is 1750 rminand the damage size is 05334mmtimes 02794mm It can beseen that the vibration signals in the fault state of the innerring and the outer ring have obvious impact feature whilethe features of the rolling element fault state and the normalstate are not obvious It shows that the vibration amplitudeof the normal state is the smallest and the the amplitude ofthe outer ring state is the largest -is is mainly because theselected outer ring fault position is in the main bearingdirection and the load of the rotor increases the impactenergy of the rolling element falling into the outer ring

Figure 16 shows the AWD results of the above four states ofrolling bearings -e vibration signals in each state are adap-tively decomposed into six components As the number ofdecomposition layers increases the frequency graduallychanges from the high-frequency band to the low-frequencyband -e components of each layer in the normal state donot have obvious impact features the signal-to-noise ratio is

relatively low and the main feature of components is not easilyrecognized -e first three components of the inner ring faultstate present the impact features and the latter three compo-nents present the harmonic features However the outer ringfault state and the rolling element fault state have the significantperiodic impact features in the first four components and theremaining component are low-frequency harmonic periodicfeatures In addition the noise content of the first and secondlayer waveform components in each state is larger than that ofthe other layer components and the energy of the signal ismainly concentrated in the first two components

According to the analysis of AWD results we can easilyobtain the main components and then the LempelndashZivcomplexmeasure analysis is performed on each signal by usingthe LZC algorithm Table 2 shows the LZC features of the time-domain signal for the rolling bearing in four states at differentspeeds with the damage size 05334mmtimes 02794mm Table 3shows the LZC features of the time-domain signal for therolling bearings in fault states under different damage di-ameters with the speed 1750 rmin

It can be seen from Table 2 that the LZC values of rollingbear in the inner ring fault state are gradually decreased withthe speed decreased from 1797 rmin to 1730 rmin but theLZC values are increased in the other three states-e reasonmay be as follows With the decreasing of the rotational thebearing load increases relatively and the modulation effecton the signal is more significant -e contact between theouter ring and the rolling element is basically fixed and itsmain role is frequency modulation So the new frequencychange is increased -e complexity of the signal leads to ahigher LZC value However when the inner ring rotates withthe axis the contact area of pitting fault changes continu-ously and its main role is to generate a low-frequencyamplitude modulation It is different from frequencymodulation that the signal is affected globally in the low-frequency oscillation mode -erefore the periodicity isenhanced and the randomness is reduced which results in alower LZC value

In Table 3 with the increasing of the damage diameterfrom 01778mm to 07112mm the LZC values of rollingbear in the inner ring fault state are gradually decreasedwhile the LZC values are decreased in the other three states-at is because the rotation speed is constant the load isrelatively stable the damage area is enlarged the actualcontact area between the rolling element and the outer ringis reduced the contact pressure is rapidly increased anddecreased and the impact feature is more obvious -einfluence is dominant reflecting a wider frequency band andharmonics on the spectrum -e result indicates that therandomness of the original signal is more prominent and itresults in a higher LZC value However due to the influenceof the low frequency the vibration signal of inner ringpresents the amplitude modulation feature -e order oforiginal signal is enhanced and the randomness is reducedwhich results in a lower LZC value

43 LZCFeatureExtractionofRollingBearing inTime-FrequencyDomain According to the analysis above we can find that

the time domain features of vibration signal the rollingbearing as shown in Figure 15 cannot directly and accuratelyidentify the characteristic frequency especially for dis-tinguishing the normal state and the fault state of the rollingelement with low signal-to-noise ratio For the complexnonstationary signal of rolling bearing in this section thetime-frequency analysis based on the local frequency andAWD method is applied -e result is shown in Figure 17

In Figure 17 the time-frequency distribution diagram ofthe vibration signal in four states of the rolling bearing showsa typical AM-FM features and the local frequency fluctuatesaround a certain constant value with time -e carrierfrequency in the normal state is 88Hz which is near thetriple frequency of the fundamental frequency and thecarrier frequencies in the inner ring fault state the outer ringfault state and the rolling element fault state are 158Hz105Hz and 138Hz respectively -is is consistent with thetheoretical frequency of each fault state calculated byequations (18)ndash(20) which can further verify the effective-ness of the proposed method In addition according to thetime-frequency analysis it is obvious that the feature of therolling element fault is the most ambiguous the fluctuationis the most severe and the noise is the most seriousHowever the time-frequency distribution of the vibrationsignal under normal condition is relatively stable

In order to accurately quantify these time-frequencyfeature of rolling bearings the LempelndashZiv complexityanalysis method is applied Table 4 shows the LZC com-parison results of the rolling bearing in the time-frequencydomain at different speeds and Table 5 shows the LZCcomparison results of the rolling bearing in time-frequencydomain under different damage diameters It can be seenthat the structural complexity of time-frequency distributionin each state of the rolling bearing has a similar change lawwith the time domain With the decreasing of the rotationalspeed or the improvement of the damage degree the LZCvalues of time-frequency distribution in the inner ring faultgradually decrease but they are increased in the other threestates-e result indicates that the time-frequency transform

preserves the nature of randomness and nonlinearity of theoriginal signal itself which can easily and quickly quantifythe complexity of different fault states In addition com-pared with the LZC value in the time domain the LZC valuein the time-frequency domain is correspondingly reduced-erefore the time-frequency analysis can reduce thestructural complexity of the signal making the fault featureclearer and clearer and suppressing the randomness of thenoise to some extent -e role of sexual interference has laida good foundation for the fault diagnosis of rolling bearings

5 Conclusions

A novel local frequency concept and AWD algorithm isproposed for the purpose of time-frequency feature ex-traction for the vibration signal of rolling bearings pre-sented multisource impact nonlinear and nonstationarycharacteristics Compared with the commonly usedmethod of time-frequency analysis based on traditionalfrequency or instantaneous frequency the proposedmethod develops the limitation of frequency definition on

nonstationary signals It has been successfully applied in thefields of radar sonar detection seismic monitoring elec-tronic communication and mechanical equipment faultdiagnosis [16 17] However the instantaneous frequencyhas only a clear physical meaning for the narrowband signalIt is considered that the narrowband signal has only onefrequency component at each instantaneous time point andmuch large-scale frequency information is lost Even formany nonstationary signals there is lack of clear physicalmeaning and even cannot be calculated

In the past few decades a series of theories and tech-niques of adaptive signal decomposition and transientfeature extraction have been developed and widely used invarious disciplines and engineering fields (eg Fouriertransform [18] short-time Fourier transform [19] wavelettransform [20] second-generation wavelet transform [21]multiwavelet transform [22] chirplet transform [23] andatomic decomposition [24]) All of them are based on thebasic function expansion of the inner product transformprinciple performing the similarity measure between thesignal and the basis function [25] However for the rollingbearings the vibration signal represents strong nonlinearitynonstationarity and multisource impact so it is unlikely toadapt all waveform features using one or several given basisfunctions In the absence of sufficient prior knowledge if afixed basis function is employed for signal decompositionerroneous information will be generated and the physicalmeaning will be unclear Feature information sufficient toidentify the fault is difficult to extract In recent years someadaptive signal decomposition methods including empiricalmode decomposition (EMD) [26] local mean de-composition (LMD) [27] and local characteristic-scale de-composition (LCD) [28] wavelet modulus maxima andsynchronous detection [29] improved orthogonal matchingpursuit and K-SVD algorithm with adaptive transient dic-tionary [30] have been gradually proposed -ose methodsare not required to predict the feature information containedin the analyzed signal and they completely follow thewaveform of the signal -us they exhibit good adaptabilityin signal processing

Although many related achievements have beenachieved in the field they also have the following problems(1) -e magnitude of the feature amplitudes under differentstates is greatly different the real physical meaning is am-biguous and the comparability is poor (2) -e featureamplitude under the same state may be fluctuated greatlywith different samples so the repeatability and stability ofthe results are poor (3) -e effects of noise interference aredifferent to the accuracy of the results -ose problems areclosely related to the nonlinear dynamic characteristics ofrolling bearings How to judge and quantitatively describethe nonlinearity and evolution of rolling bearings underdifferent states is an important prerequisite for fault di-agnosis In the field of nonlinearity some quantitative in-dicators including Lyapunov exponents [31] correlationdimension [32] entropy [33] and complexity [34] have beenwell applied Among of them the LempelndashZiv complexity(LZC) has many good advantages to measure the time seriesarose from the nonlinear dynamics system which have been

used widely in data compression [35] coding [36] gener-ation of test signals [37] and so on Additionally comparedwith the methods of spectral analysis and time-frequencyanalysis the LZC method can detect the long-range cor-relations embedded in the seemingly nonstationary timeseries and also avoid the spurious detection of apparentlong-range correlations that are an artifact of nonstationarity[38]

In order to improve the diagnosis accuracy of rollingbearings effective and quantitative features should beextracted firstly On the one hand the vibration signal ofrolling bearings represents the complex feature of non-linearity and nonstationarity the typical and useful featureinformation may be not significant On the other hand thevibration signal of rolling bearings may be strongly influ-enced by background noise For solving the above problemsan integration approach based on adaptive waveform de-composition (AWD) and LempelndashZiv complexity (LZC) wasproposed Using the AWD method the nonstationarymulticomponent signal of rolling bearings can be convertedinto a series of stationary single component signal which arerich in useful feature information -e LZC method is ap-plied to quantitatively describe the complexity of nonlinearsignal in the time-frequency domain -erefore both theAWD method and LZC algorithm have their own functionin improving the diagnosis accuracy of rolling bearings andthe integration methods of AWD and LZC will have the besteffect

2 Time-Frequency Feature Extraction Based onLocal Frequency and AdaptiveWaveform Decomposition

21 Definition of Local Frequency For an arbitrary signalx(t) assume that the corresponding discrete time series isx(i) ∣ i 1 2 3 n -e time domain waveform of thesignal x(t) is shown in Figure 1 and the local maximum ofthe x(t) satisfies the following equation

x(i)gex(iminus 1)

x(i)gex(i + 1)

x(iminus 1)nex(i + 1)

(1)

From the minimum waveform required to complete avibration the original signal can be approximated as con-sisting of a series of V waves containing two adjacentmaxima as shown in Figure 2

Assuming that the V wave start position tk is the time atwhich the kth local maximum value in the original signal x(t)is located and k 1 2 3 middot middot middot N according to the V wave thelocal period T(t) of the original signal x(t) can be defined asfollows

T(t) tk+1 minus tk tk le tlt tk+1 (2)

where T(t) represents the time required for the signal tocomplete a complete local vibration over a local time range

Similarly a local mean m(t) and a local amplitude a(t)are also given below

a(t) x tk( 1113857 + x tk+1( 1113857

2 tk le tlt tk+1 (4)

where nk is the number of samples contained between thekth maximum and the k+ 1th maximum

According to formula (2) the local frequency is definedas the reciprocal of the local period ie

v(t) 1

T(t)

1tk+1 minus tk

tk le tlt tk+1 (5)

where the local frequency v(t) represents the number of timescompleting the vibration in a unit of local time It is used tomeasure the speed of local vibration and the unit is still Hz

-e characteristic curves of local amplitude a(t) localmean m(t) and local frequency v(t) calculated by equations(3) to (4) are all broken lines In order to improve the ac-curacy of analysis results and to get a smoother curve themoving average (MA) technology is applied for processingthe curves and the principle is as follows [39]

Let the original broken line sequence be y(i) ∣ i 1113864

1 2 3 n Every point after being smoothed shouldsatisfy the formula as follows

yprime(i) 1

2N + 1[y(iminusN) + y(iminusN + 1) + + y(i + Nminus 1)

+ y(i + N)]

(6)

where 2N+ 1 is a smooth interval span 2N+ 1lt nObviously the difference in span selection has a direct

influence on the smoothing effect which will cause differenterrors in the calculation results of the local feature quantitiesFor the impact signal in order to ensure that the impactextreme value is not lost during the smoothing process it isnecessary to adjust the span to 15 of the maximum intervalof the adjacent maximum value as the best effect -esmoothing result of the characteristic curve of the arbitrarysignal x(t) is shown in Figures 3 and 4

22 Construction of Time-Frequency Distribution Based onLocal Frequency In order to analyze the nonstationarysignal it is necessary to construct a method of time-fre-quency distribution based on local frequency According tothe local amplitude curve a(t) defined in equation (4) itrepresents the absolute amplitude of the V-wave in acomplete local period In order to eliminate the influence ofthe equilibrium position point fluctuation the local meancurve m(t) should be removed ie

aprime(t) |a(t)minusm(t)| (7)

where aprime(t) represents the fluctuation amplitude of the localfrequency component v(t) respected to the equilibriumposition with time

Plotting the time t the local frequency v(t) and the localamplitude aprime(t) on a three-dimensional map and the localamplitude aprime(t) is represented by a contour of a different color-en a typical time-frequency distribution diagram of thesignal x(t) based on the local frequency is formed Figure 5shows the time-frequency distribution of the signal x(t) isconsistent with the local frequency feature extracted in Figure 4

23 Adaptive Waveform Decomposition AlgorithmAccording to definition of local frequency and its time-frequency distribution we can only analyze the signal withsingle component For many test signals of machine itusually contains various components from different exci-tations So if we want to extract the time-frequency featureof each component the multicomponent signal should bedecomposed firstly In the calculation of the traditionalfrequency and instantaneous frequency of the multicom-ponent nonstationary signal the signal can be finally re-duced to the following two forms

x(t) 1113944infin

k1ck sin kωt + θk( 1113857

x(t) 1113944N

k1ak(t)cos ϕk(t) + R(t)

(8)

where R(t) is the residual term-e two forms of decomposition have great similarities

all of which express frequency information in a superpo-sition of multiple harmonic waveforms However theactual complex signals often do not have harmonicwaveform characteristics andmay be composed of a limited

number of other shape waveforms Considering the effi-ciency accuracy and frequency physical meaning of signaldecomposition the harmonic waveform combination doesnot conform to the essential features of the signal-erefore based on the local frequency concept a newadaptive waveform decomposition (AWD) method isproposed to adapt to the feature extraction of non-stationary signal with multicomponents

x(t) 1113944N

m1sm(t) + W(t) (9)

where sm(t) represents themth waveform function containedin the original signal and W(t) is the residual term -eimplementation process is as follows

(1) Assume that the discrete time series correspondingto the signal x(t) is x(i) ∣ i 1 2 3 n -enaccording to formula (12) find the local maxima n1in the signal x(t) as the first layer extreme valuesequence p1(k) ∣ k 1 2 3 N11113864 1113865

(2) Calculate the local amplitude a1(t) the local meanm1(t) and the local frequency v1(t) corresponding tothe first-order extreme value sequence p1(t)according to formulas (3) to (5)

(3) Smooth a1(t) m1(t) and v1(t) using the movingaverage technique

(4) De-average the local amplitude to obtain the am-plitude envelope curve a1prime(t) which is

a1prime(t) a(t)minusm(t) (10)

(5) Similarly find the n2 local maxima as the secondlayer p2(k) ∣ k 1 2 3 N21113864 1113865 in the first layer ofextreme sequence p1(k) ∣ k 1 2 3 N21113864 1113865continue smoothing and de-averaging processing toobtain the amplitude envelope curve a2prime(t) accordingto steps (2) (3) and (4)

(6) Repeat the above steps until you find the m-th orderextremum sequence pm(k) ∣ k 1 2 3 Nm1113864 1113865When it satisfiesNmle 2 the decomposition is ended

According to the above method x(t) can obtain mminus 1amplitude envelope curves a1prime(t) a2prime(t) amminus1prime (t) so eachcomponent decomposed from x(t) is obtained as follows

-e abovementioned decomposition process only de-pends on characteristics of the signal x(t) itself and the localfrequency of each components s1(t) s2(t) sm(t) doesnot depend on the harmonic form -erefore the proposedAWD method has good adaptability

24 Applicability Analysis of the Proposed Method In thissection some simulation examples are taken as the researchobject and the main characteristics of the proposed methodabove in time-frequency analysis of multicomponent signalsare described in detail by comparing with the EMD (em-pirical mode decomposition) method [40]

241 Combination of Multiple Harmonic Signals

x1(t) sin(2π middot 10 middot t) + sin(2π middot 30 middot t) + sin(2π middot 80 middot t)

(12)

Figure 6 shows the decomposition effects of the simu-lation signal x2(t) based on AWD and EMD Obviously bothof them can effectively extract the three harmonic wave-forms contained in the original signal which are decom-posed from high frequency to low frequency respectively Asthe number of decomposition layers increases the distancebetween the first extreme point of the layer and the first datapoint increases Whether it is the sliding average method orthe spline envelope method it is difficult to give a satis-factory fit Although many scholars have given various end-point extension methods it has always been ineffective fornonlinear and nonstationary signals

Figure 7 shows the time-frequency distribution result ofthe signal x1(t) based on the fusion method of local fre-quency and AWD and Figure 8 shows the result based onthe fusion method of instantaneous frequency and EMD Itcan be seen that both the local frequency and instantaneousfrequency can accurately represent the stationary distribu-tion of the three harmonic components in the original signalx1(t) But the time-frequency resolution of the fusionmethod of local frequency and AWD is higher than thefusion method of instantaneous frequency and EMD

242 Combination of Harmonic Signal and FM-AM Signal

Figure 9 shows the decomposition effects of the sim-ulation signal x2(t) based on AWD and EMD Similarlythere is still a high degree of coincidence and the signalx2(t) is adaptively decomposed into three components Itcan be seen that the first layer of AWD and EMD result is

the FM-AM component the second layer is the harmoniccomponent and the third layer is the trend term

Figure 10 shows the time-frequency distribution result ofthe signal x2(t) based on the fusion method of local fre-quency and AWD and Figure 11 shows the result based onthe fusion method of instantaneous frequency and EMD

In the time-frequency distribution result of the signalx2(t) based on the fusion method of local frequency andAWD as shown in Figure 10 the 30Hz stationary harmonicand FM-AM with 150Hz carrier frequency are clearly

extracted However in Figure 11 the fusion method ofinstantaneous frequency and EMD generate some in-terference information at the low frequency because of thetrend term Additionally comparing Figure 10 withFigure 11 it can be seen that the time-frequency featuresextracted by using the proposed method in this paper haveno false redundant frequency and the resolution is sig-nificantly higher

In summary by comparing the time-frequency analysisof the multicomponent signals it is shown that both the

AWD and the EMD can achieve a good adaptive de-composition effect and both of them have the same accu-racy However in time-frequency analysis the localfrequency is clearer in resolution than instantaneous fre-quency and it not only has clear physical meaning but alsocontains less interference components -erefore the pro-posed method can accurately obtain the essential features ofthe frequency components contained in the original signaland its validity and applicability is verified according tosimulation signals above

3 Quantitative Measure of the Complexity ofNonlinear Time Series

31 Algorithm of LZC -e definition of complex measure isproposed by Kolmogorov and is characterized by thenumber of bits of the shortest program required to produce asequence of symbols Later Lempel and Ziv proposed analgorithm to achieve this complexity called LempelndashZivcomplexity (LZC) which is widely used in nonlinear sci-entific research [41] LZC analysis is based on coarsegraining of the measurements Before the LZC measure iscalculated the time series must be transformed into a finitesymbol sequence Generally an arbitrary time seriesx(i) ∣ i 1 2 3 middot middot middot n is converted into a binary series Bycomparison with the threshold x(i) is converted into a 0-1series S(i) ∣ i 1 2 3 middot middot middot n as follows [42]

S(i) 0 x(i)lt xave

1 x(i)ge xave1113896 (14)

where xave is the mean of time series of x(i) -en the LZCmeasure can be estimated by using the following algorithmas shown in Figure 12

-e abovementioned algorithm is repeated until Q is thelast character -e measure of complexity is c(n) In order toobtain a complexity measure which is independent of theseries length c(n) must be normalized If the length of thesequence is n and the number of different symbols in thesymbol set is 2 it has been proved that the upper bound ofc(n) is given by

limnrarrinfin

c(n) b(n) n

log2(n) (15)

and c(n) can be normalized via b(n)

0leC c(n)

b(n)le 1 (16)

where the normalized complexity index C is called theLempelndashZiv complexity

Obviously equation (17) can be established only if thesample length n is large enough -e literature has given theexperience valve nge 3600 [43] -e complexity index Cpresents the random degree of time series For the com-pletely random time series C is close to 1 On the contrarythe periodic time series is close to 0 In practice the vibrationsignals of reciprocating compressor vary with each faultstates randomly so the LZC can be extracted as a usefulmeasure for machine health condition feature

32 Performance Experiment of LZC To identify the effec-tiveness of LZC method the typical nonlinear dynamicalsystem is taken as an example to investigate the performanceof LZC Consider the following logistic map [44]

xn+1 λ middot xn middot 1minusxn( 1113857 (17)

where xn isin [0 1] λ isin [28 4] λ is the control parameters andthe step size is 001 -e sample length of nonlinear timeseries is N 5000

According to the LZC algorithm the complexity index Cof logistic map with different parameters λ can be calculated-e result is shown in Figure 13

Observe Figures 13(a) and 13(b) it indicates the dynamicalbehaviour of logistic map with different control parameters λ-e trends of Lyapunov exponent and the complexity index Care much synchronous When 28le λlt 357 the Lyapunovexponent is less than zero and it shows that the logistic systementers in the periodic or quasiperiodic region Moreover mostvalues of LZC are close to zero When 357lt λle 4 Lyapunovexponent is greater than zero it indicates that the systementers the chaos region Meanwhile the complexity index Ctends to be around 05 During this region the Lyapunovexponent less than zero including λ 363 λ 374 andλ 383 are called periodic windows In these regions thecomplexity index C is still close to zero

In summary LZC can be used as identifying the dy-namical behaviour of nonlinear system effectively -eanalysis results are stable and reliable when the number ofsamples increase -erefore the LZC value of differentsystem states can be compared together without any priorknowledge about fault mechanism

Figure 15 shows the time domain waveform of the vi-bration signal of rolling bearing in four states including thenormal state inner ring fault state outer ring fault state androlling element fault state -e rotation speed is 1750 rminand the damage size is 05334mmtimes 02794mm It can beseen that the vibration signals in the fault state of the innerring and the outer ring have obvious impact feature whilethe features of the rolling element fault state and the normalstate are not obvious It shows that the vibration amplitudeof the normal state is the smallest and the the amplitude ofthe outer ring state is the largest -is is mainly because theselected outer ring fault position is in the main bearingdirection and the load of the rotor increases the impactenergy of the rolling element falling into the outer ring

Figure 16 shows the AWD results of the above four states ofrolling bearings -e vibration signals in each state are adap-tively decomposed into six components As the number ofdecomposition layers increases the frequency graduallychanges from the high-frequency band to the low-frequencyband -e components of each layer in the normal state donot have obvious impact features the signal-to-noise ratio is

relatively low and the main feature of components is not easilyrecognized -e first three components of the inner ring faultstate present the impact features and the latter three compo-nents present the harmonic features However the outer ringfault state and the rolling element fault state have the significantperiodic impact features in the first four components and theremaining component are low-frequency harmonic periodicfeatures In addition the noise content of the first and secondlayer waveform components in each state is larger than that ofthe other layer components and the energy of the signal ismainly concentrated in the first two components

According to the analysis of AWD results we can easilyobtain the main components and then the LempelndashZivcomplexmeasure analysis is performed on each signal by usingthe LZC algorithm Table 2 shows the LZC features of the time-domain signal for the rolling bearing in four states at differentspeeds with the damage size 05334mmtimes 02794mm Table 3shows the LZC features of the time-domain signal for therolling bearings in fault states under different damage di-ameters with the speed 1750 rmin

It can be seen from Table 2 that the LZC values of rollingbear in the inner ring fault state are gradually decreased withthe speed decreased from 1797 rmin to 1730 rmin but theLZC values are increased in the other three states-e reasonmay be as follows With the decreasing of the rotational thebearing load increases relatively and the modulation effecton the signal is more significant -e contact between theouter ring and the rolling element is basically fixed and itsmain role is frequency modulation So the new frequencychange is increased -e complexity of the signal leads to ahigher LZC value However when the inner ring rotates withthe axis the contact area of pitting fault changes continu-ously and its main role is to generate a low-frequencyamplitude modulation It is different from frequencymodulation that the signal is affected globally in the low-frequency oscillation mode -erefore the periodicity isenhanced and the randomness is reduced which results in alower LZC value

In Table 3 with the increasing of the damage diameterfrom 01778mm to 07112mm the LZC values of rollingbear in the inner ring fault state are gradually decreasedwhile the LZC values are decreased in the other three states-at is because the rotation speed is constant the load isrelatively stable the damage area is enlarged the actualcontact area between the rolling element and the outer ringis reduced the contact pressure is rapidly increased anddecreased and the impact feature is more obvious -einfluence is dominant reflecting a wider frequency band andharmonics on the spectrum -e result indicates that therandomness of the original signal is more prominent and itresults in a higher LZC value However due to the influenceof the low frequency the vibration signal of inner ringpresents the amplitude modulation feature -e order oforiginal signal is enhanced and the randomness is reducedwhich results in a lower LZC value

43 LZCFeatureExtractionofRollingBearing inTime-FrequencyDomain According to the analysis above we can find that

the time domain features of vibration signal the rollingbearing as shown in Figure 15 cannot directly and accuratelyidentify the characteristic frequency especially for dis-tinguishing the normal state and the fault state of the rollingelement with low signal-to-noise ratio For the complexnonstationary signal of rolling bearing in this section thetime-frequency analysis based on the local frequency andAWD method is applied -e result is shown in Figure 17

In Figure 17 the time-frequency distribution diagram ofthe vibration signal in four states of the rolling bearing showsa typical AM-FM features and the local frequency fluctuatesaround a certain constant value with time -e carrierfrequency in the normal state is 88Hz which is near thetriple frequency of the fundamental frequency and thecarrier frequencies in the inner ring fault state the outer ringfault state and the rolling element fault state are 158Hz105Hz and 138Hz respectively -is is consistent with thetheoretical frequency of each fault state calculated byequations (18)ndash(20) which can further verify the effective-ness of the proposed method In addition according to thetime-frequency analysis it is obvious that the feature of therolling element fault is the most ambiguous the fluctuationis the most severe and the noise is the most seriousHowever the time-frequency distribution of the vibrationsignal under normal condition is relatively stable

In order to accurately quantify these time-frequencyfeature of rolling bearings the LempelndashZiv complexityanalysis method is applied Table 4 shows the LZC com-parison results of the rolling bearing in the time-frequencydomain at different speeds and Table 5 shows the LZCcomparison results of the rolling bearing in time-frequencydomain under different damage diameters It can be seenthat the structural complexity of time-frequency distributionin each state of the rolling bearing has a similar change lawwith the time domain With the decreasing of the rotationalspeed or the improvement of the damage degree the LZCvalues of time-frequency distribution in the inner ring faultgradually decrease but they are increased in the other threestates-e result indicates that the time-frequency transform

preserves the nature of randomness and nonlinearity of theoriginal signal itself which can easily and quickly quantifythe complexity of different fault states In addition com-pared with the LZC value in the time domain the LZC valuein the time-frequency domain is correspondingly reduced-erefore the time-frequency analysis can reduce thestructural complexity of the signal making the fault featureclearer and clearer and suppressing the randomness of thenoise to some extent -e role of sexual interference has laida good foundation for the fault diagnosis of rolling bearings

5 Conclusions

A novel local frequency concept and AWD algorithm isproposed for the purpose of time-frequency feature ex-traction for the vibration signal of rolling bearings pre-sented multisource impact nonlinear and nonstationarycharacteristics Compared with the commonly usedmethod of time-frequency analysis based on traditionalfrequency or instantaneous frequency the proposedmethod develops the limitation of frequency definition on

where the local frequency v(t) represents the number of timescompleting the vibration in a unit of local time It is used tomeasure the speed of local vibration and the unit is still Hz

-e characteristic curves of local amplitude a(t) localmean m(t) and local frequency v(t) calculated by equations(3) to (4) are all broken lines In order to improve the ac-curacy of analysis results and to get a smoother curve themoving average (MA) technology is applied for processingthe curves and the principle is as follows [39]

Let the original broken line sequence be y(i) ∣ i 1113864

1 2 3 n Every point after being smoothed shouldsatisfy the formula as follows

(6)

where 2N+ 1 is a smooth interval span 2N+ 1lt nObviously the difference in span selection has a direct

influence on the smoothing effect which will cause differenterrors in the calculation results of the local feature quantitiesFor the impact signal in order to ensure that the impactextreme value is not lost during the smoothing process it isnecessary to adjust the span to 15 of the maximum intervalof the adjacent maximum value as the best effect -esmoothing result of the characteristic curve of the arbitrarysignal x(t) is shown in Figures 3 and 4

22 Construction of Time-Frequency Distribution Based onLocal Frequency In order to analyze the nonstationarysignal it is necessary to construct a method of time-fre-quency distribution based on local frequency According tothe local amplitude curve a(t) defined in equation (4) itrepresents the absolute amplitude of the V-wave in acomplete local period In order to eliminate the influence ofthe equilibrium position point fluctuation the local meancurve m(t) should be removed ie

aprime(t) |a(t)minusm(t)| (7)

where aprime(t) represents the fluctuation amplitude of the localfrequency component v(t) respected to the equilibriumposition with time

Plotting the time t the local frequency v(t) and the localamplitude aprime(t) on a three-dimensional map and the localamplitude aprime(t) is represented by a contour of a different color-en a typical time-frequency distribution diagram of thesignal x(t) based on the local frequency is formed Figure 5shows the time-frequency distribution of the signal x(t) isconsistent with the local frequency feature extracted in Figure 4

23 Adaptive Waveform Decomposition AlgorithmAccording to definition of local frequency and its time-frequency distribution we can only analyze the signal withsingle component For many test signals of machine itusually contains various components from different exci-tations So if we want to extract the time-frequency featureof each component the multicomponent signal should bedecomposed firstly In the calculation of the traditionalfrequency and instantaneous frequency of the multicom-ponent nonstationary signal the signal can be finally re-duced to the following two forms

where R(t) is the residual term-e two forms of decomposition have great similarities

number of other shape waveforms Considering the effi-ciency accuracy and frequency physical meaning of signaldecomposition the harmonic waveform combination doesnot conform to the essential features of the signal-erefore based on the local frequency concept a newadaptive waveform decomposition (AWD) method isproposed to adapt to the feature extraction of non-stationary signal with multicomponents

x(t) 1113944N

m1sm(t) + W(t) (9)

where sm(t) represents themth waveform function containedin the original signal and W(t) is the residual term -eimplementation process is as follows

(1) Assume that the discrete time series correspondingto the signal x(t) is x(i) ∣ i 1 2 3 n -enaccording to formula (12) find the local maxima n1in the signal x(t) as the first layer extreme valuesequence p1(k) ∣ k 1 2 3 N11113864 1113865

(2) Calculate the local amplitude a1(t) the local meanm1(t) and the local frequency v1(t) corresponding tothe first-order extreme value sequence p1(t)according to formulas (3) to (5)

(3) Smooth a1(t) m1(t) and v1(t) using the movingaverage technique

(4) De-average the local amplitude to obtain the am-plitude envelope curve a1prime(t) which is

a1prime(t) a(t)minusm(t) (10)

(5) Similarly find the n2 local maxima as the secondlayer p2(k) ∣ k 1 2 3 N21113864 1113865 in the first layer ofextreme sequence p1(k) ∣ k 1 2 3 N21113864 1113865continue smoothing and de-averaging processing toobtain the amplitude envelope curve a2prime(t) accordingto steps (2) (3) and (4)

(6) Repeat the above steps until you find the m-th orderextremum sequence pm(k) ∣ k 1 2 3 Nm1113864 1113865When it satisfiesNmle 2 the decomposition is ended

According to the above method x(t) can obtain mminus 1amplitude envelope curves a1prime(t) a2prime(t) amminus1prime (t) so eachcomponent decomposed from x(t) is obtained as follows

-e abovementioned decomposition process only de-pends on characteristics of the signal x(t) itself and the localfrequency of each components s1(t) s2(t) sm(t) doesnot depend on the harmonic form -erefore the proposedAWD method has good adaptability

24 Applicability Analysis of the Proposed Method In thissection some simulation examples are taken as the researchobject and the main characteristics of the proposed methodabove in time-frequency analysis of multicomponent signalsare described in detail by comparing with the EMD (em-pirical mode decomposition) method [40]

241 Combination of Multiple Harmonic Signals

x1(t) sin(2π middot 10 middot t) + sin(2π middot 30 middot t) + sin(2π middot 80 middot t)

(12)

Figure 6 shows the decomposition effects of the simu-lation signal x2(t) based on AWD and EMD Obviously bothof them can effectively extract the three harmonic wave-forms contained in the original signal which are decom-posed from high frequency to low frequency respectively Asthe number of decomposition layers increases the distancebetween the first extreme point of the layer and the first datapoint increases Whether it is the sliding average method orthe spline envelope method it is difficult to give a satis-factory fit Although many scholars have given various end-point extension methods it has always been ineffective fornonlinear and nonstationary signals

Figure 7 shows the time-frequency distribution result ofthe signal x1(t) based on the fusion method of local fre-quency and AWD and Figure 8 shows the result based onthe fusion method of instantaneous frequency and EMD Itcan be seen that both the local frequency and instantaneousfrequency can accurately represent the stationary distribu-tion of the three harmonic components in the original signalx1(t) But the time-frequency resolution of the fusionmethod of local frequency and AWD is higher than thefusion method of instantaneous frequency and EMD

242 Combination of Harmonic Signal and FM-AM Signal

middot cos[2π middot 150 middot t + 2 cos(2π middot 5 middot t)](13)

Figure 9 shows the decomposition effects of the sim-ulation signal x2(t) based on AWD and EMD Similarlythere is still a high degree of coincidence and the signalx2(t) is adaptively decomposed into three components Itcan be seen that the first layer of AWD and EMD result is

the FM-AM component the second layer is the harmoniccomponent and the third layer is the trend term

Figure 10 shows the time-frequency distribution result ofthe signal x2(t) based on the fusion method of local fre-quency and AWD and Figure 11 shows the result based onthe fusion method of instantaneous frequency and EMD

In the time-frequency distribution result of the signalx2(t) based on the fusion method of local frequency andAWD as shown in Figure 10 the 30Hz stationary harmonicand FM-AM with 150Hz carrier frequency are clearly

extracted However in Figure 11 the fusion method ofinstantaneous frequency and EMD generate some in-terference information at the low frequency because of thetrend term Additionally comparing Figure 10 withFigure 11 it can be seen that the time-frequency featuresextracted by using the proposed method in this paper haveno false redundant frequency and the resolution is sig-nificantly higher

In summary by comparing the time-frequency analysisof the multicomponent signals it is shown that both the

AWD and the EMD can achieve a good adaptive de-composition effect and both of them have the same accu-racy However in time-frequency analysis the localfrequency is clearer in resolution than instantaneous fre-quency and it not only has clear physical meaning but alsocontains less interference components -erefore the pro-posed method can accurately obtain the essential features ofthe frequency components contained in the original signaland its validity and applicability is verified according tosimulation signals above

3 Quantitative Measure of the Complexity ofNonlinear Time Series

31 Algorithm of LZC -e definition of complex measure isproposed by Kolmogorov and is characterized by thenumber of bits of the shortest program required to produce asequence of symbols Later Lempel and Ziv proposed analgorithm to achieve this complexity called LempelndashZivcomplexity (LZC) which is widely used in nonlinear sci-entific research [41] LZC analysis is based on coarsegraining of the measurements Before the LZC measure iscalculated the time series must be transformed into a finitesymbol sequence Generally an arbitrary time seriesx(i) ∣ i 1 2 3 middot middot middot n is converted into a binary series Bycomparison with the threshold x(i) is converted into a 0-1series S(i) ∣ i 1 2 3 middot middot middot n as follows [42]

S(i) 0 x(i)lt xave

1 x(i)ge xave1113896 (14)

where xave is the mean of time series of x(i) -en the LZCmeasure can be estimated by using the following algorithmas shown in Figure 12

-e abovementioned algorithm is repeated until Q is thelast character -e measure of complexity is c(n) In order toobtain a complexity measure which is independent of theseries length c(n) must be normalized If the length of thesequence is n and the number of different symbols in thesymbol set is 2 it has been proved that the upper bound ofc(n) is given by

limnrarrinfin

c(n) b(n) n

log2(n) (15)

and c(n) can be normalized via b(n)

0leC c(n)

b(n)le 1 (16)

where the normalized complexity index C is called theLempelndashZiv complexity

Obviously equation (17) can be established only if thesample length n is large enough -e literature has given theexperience valve nge 3600 [43] -e complexity index Cpresents the random degree of time series For the com-pletely random time series C is close to 1 On the contrarythe periodic time series is close to 0 In practice the vibrationsignals of reciprocating compressor vary with each faultstates randomly so the LZC can be extracted as a usefulmeasure for machine health condition feature

32 Performance Experiment of LZC To identify the effec-tiveness of LZC method the typical nonlinear dynamicalsystem is taken as an example to investigate the performanceof LZC Consider the following logistic map [44]

xn+1 λ middot xn middot 1minusxn( 1113857 (17)

where xn isin [0 1] λ isin [28 4] λ is the control parameters andthe step size is 001 -e sample length of nonlinear timeseries is N 5000

According to the LZC algorithm the complexity index Cof logistic map with different parameters λ can be calculated-e result is shown in Figure 13

Observe Figures 13(a) and 13(b) it indicates the dynamicalbehaviour of logistic map with different control parameters λ-e trends of Lyapunov exponent and the complexity index Care much synchronous When 28le λlt 357 the Lyapunovexponent is less than zero and it shows that the logistic systementers in the periodic or quasiperiodic region Moreover mostvalues of LZC are close to zero When 357lt λle 4 Lyapunovexponent is greater than zero it indicates that the systementers the chaos region Meanwhile the complexity index Ctends to be around 05 During this region the Lyapunovexponent less than zero including λ 363 λ 374 andλ 383 are called periodic windows In these regions thecomplexity index C is still close to zero

In summary LZC can be used as identifying the dy-namical behaviour of nonlinear system effectively -eanalysis results are stable and reliable when the number ofsamples increase -erefore the LZC value of differentsystem states can be compared together without any priorknowledge about fault mechanism

Figure 15 shows the time domain waveform of the vi-bration signal of rolling bearing in four states including thenormal state inner ring fault state outer ring fault state androlling element fault state -e rotation speed is 1750 rminand the damage size is 05334mmtimes 02794mm It can beseen that the vibration signals in the fault state of the innerring and the outer ring have obvious impact feature whilethe features of the rolling element fault state and the normalstate are not obvious It shows that the vibration amplitudeof the normal state is the smallest and the the amplitude ofthe outer ring state is the largest -is is mainly because theselected outer ring fault position is in the main bearingdirection and the load of the rotor increases the impactenergy of the rolling element falling into the outer ring

Figure 16 shows the AWD results of the above four states ofrolling bearings -e vibration signals in each state are adap-tively decomposed into six components As the number ofdecomposition layers increases the frequency graduallychanges from the high-frequency band to the low-frequencyband -e components of each layer in the normal state donot have obvious impact features the signal-to-noise ratio is

relatively low and the main feature of components is not easilyrecognized -e first three components of the inner ring faultstate present the impact features and the latter three compo-nents present the harmonic features However the outer ringfault state and the rolling element fault state have the significantperiodic impact features in the first four components and theremaining component are low-frequency harmonic periodicfeatures In addition the noise content of the first and secondlayer waveform components in each state is larger than that ofthe other layer components and the energy of the signal ismainly concentrated in the first two components

According to the analysis of AWD results we can easilyobtain the main components and then the LempelndashZivcomplexmeasure analysis is performed on each signal by usingthe LZC algorithm Table 2 shows the LZC features of the time-domain signal for the rolling bearing in four states at differentspeeds with the damage size 05334mmtimes 02794mm Table 3shows the LZC features of the time-domain signal for therolling bearings in fault states under different damage di-ameters with the speed 1750 rmin

It can be seen from Table 2 that the LZC values of rollingbear in the inner ring fault state are gradually decreased withthe speed decreased from 1797 rmin to 1730 rmin but theLZC values are increased in the other three states-e reasonmay be as follows With the decreasing of the rotational thebearing load increases relatively and the modulation effecton the signal is more significant -e contact between theouter ring and the rolling element is basically fixed and itsmain role is frequency modulation So the new frequencychange is increased -e complexity of the signal leads to ahigher LZC value However when the inner ring rotates withthe axis the contact area of pitting fault changes continu-ously and its main role is to generate a low-frequencyamplitude modulation It is different from frequencymodulation that the signal is affected globally in the low-frequency oscillation mode -erefore the periodicity isenhanced and the randomness is reduced which results in alower LZC value

In Table 3 with the increasing of the damage diameterfrom 01778mm to 07112mm the LZC values of rollingbear in the inner ring fault state are gradually decreasedwhile the LZC values are decreased in the other three states-at is because the rotation speed is constant the load isrelatively stable the damage area is enlarged the actualcontact area between the rolling element and the outer ringis reduced the contact pressure is rapidly increased anddecreased and the impact feature is more obvious -einfluence is dominant reflecting a wider frequency band andharmonics on the spectrum -e result indicates that therandomness of the original signal is more prominent and itresults in a higher LZC value However due to the influenceof the low frequency the vibration signal of inner ringpresents the amplitude modulation feature -e order oforiginal signal is enhanced and the randomness is reducedwhich results in a lower LZC value

43 LZCFeatureExtractionofRollingBearing inTime-FrequencyDomain According to the analysis above we can find that

the time domain features of vibration signal the rollingbearing as shown in Figure 15 cannot directly and accuratelyidentify the characteristic frequency especially for dis-tinguishing the normal state and the fault state of the rollingelement with low signal-to-noise ratio For the complexnonstationary signal of rolling bearing in this section thetime-frequency analysis based on the local frequency andAWD method is applied -e result is shown in Figure 17

In Figure 17 the time-frequency distribution diagram ofthe vibration signal in four states of the rolling bearing showsa typical AM-FM features and the local frequency fluctuatesaround a certain constant value with time -e carrierfrequency in the normal state is 88Hz which is near thetriple frequency of the fundamental frequency and thecarrier frequencies in the inner ring fault state the outer ringfault state and the rolling element fault state are 158Hz105Hz and 138Hz respectively -is is consistent with thetheoretical frequency of each fault state calculated byequations (18)ndash(20) which can further verify the effective-ness of the proposed method In addition according to thetime-frequency analysis it is obvious that the feature of therolling element fault is the most ambiguous the fluctuationis the most severe and the noise is the most seriousHowever the time-frequency distribution of the vibrationsignal under normal condition is relatively stable

In order to accurately quantify these time-frequencyfeature of rolling bearings the LempelndashZiv complexityanalysis method is applied Table 4 shows the LZC com-parison results of the rolling bearing in the time-frequencydomain at different speeds and Table 5 shows the LZCcomparison results of the rolling bearing in time-frequencydomain under different damage diameters It can be seenthat the structural complexity of time-frequency distributionin each state of the rolling bearing has a similar change lawwith the time domain With the decreasing of the rotationalspeed or the improvement of the damage degree the LZCvalues of time-frequency distribution in the inner ring faultgradually decrease but they are increased in the other threestates-e result indicates that the time-frequency transform

preserves the nature of randomness and nonlinearity of theoriginal signal itself which can easily and quickly quantifythe complexity of different fault states In addition com-pared with the LZC value in the time domain the LZC valuein the time-frequency domain is correspondingly reduced-erefore the time-frequency analysis can reduce thestructural complexity of the signal making the fault featureclearer and clearer and suppressing the randomness of thenoise to some extent -e role of sexual interference has laida good foundation for the fault diagnosis of rolling bearings

5 Conclusions

A novel local frequency concept and AWD algorithm isproposed for the purpose of time-frequency feature ex-traction for the vibration signal of rolling bearings pre-sented multisource impact nonlinear and nonstationarycharacteristics Compared with the commonly usedmethod of time-frequency analysis based on traditionalfrequency or instantaneous frequency the proposedmethod develops the limitation of frequency definition on

number of other shape waveforms Considering the effi-ciency accuracy and frequency physical meaning of signaldecomposition the harmonic waveform combination doesnot conform to the essential features of the signal-erefore based on the local frequency concept a newadaptive waveform decomposition (AWD) method isproposed to adapt to the feature extraction of non-stationary signal with multicomponents

x(t) 1113944N

m1sm(t) + W(t) (9)

where sm(t) represents themth waveform function containedin the original signal and W(t) is the residual term -eimplementation process is as follows

(1) Assume that the discrete time series correspondingto the signal x(t) is x(i) ∣ i 1 2 3 n -enaccording to formula (12) find the local maxima n1in the signal x(t) as the first layer extreme valuesequence p1(k) ∣ k 1 2 3 N11113864 1113865

(2) Calculate the local amplitude a1(t) the local meanm1(t) and the local frequency v1(t) corresponding tothe first-order extreme value sequence p1(t)according to formulas (3) to (5)

(3) Smooth a1(t) m1(t) and v1(t) using the movingaverage technique

(4) De-average the local amplitude to obtain the am-plitude envelope curve a1prime(t) which is

a1prime(t) a(t)minusm(t) (10)

(5) Similarly find the n2 local maxima as the secondlayer p2(k) ∣ k 1 2 3 N21113864 1113865 in the first layer ofextreme sequence p1(k) ∣ k 1 2 3 N21113864 1113865continue smoothing and de-averaging processing toobtain the amplitude envelope curve a2prime(t) accordingto steps (2) (3) and (4)

(6) Repeat the above steps until you find the m-th orderextremum sequence pm(k) ∣ k 1 2 3 Nm1113864 1113865When it satisfiesNmle 2 the decomposition is ended

According to the above method x(t) can obtain mminus 1amplitude envelope curves a1prime(t) a2prime(t) amminus1prime (t) so eachcomponent decomposed from x(t) is obtained as follows

-e abovementioned decomposition process only de-pends on characteristics of the signal x(t) itself and the localfrequency of each components s1(t) s2(t) sm(t) doesnot depend on the harmonic form -erefore the proposedAWD method has good adaptability

24 Applicability Analysis of the Proposed Method In thissection some simulation examples are taken as the researchobject and the main characteristics of the proposed methodabove in time-frequency analysis of multicomponent signalsare described in detail by comparing with the EMD (em-pirical mode decomposition) method [40]

241 Combination of Multiple Harmonic Signals

x1(t) sin(2π middot 10 middot t) + sin(2π middot 30 middot t) + sin(2π middot 80 middot t)

(12)

Figure 6 shows the decomposition effects of the simu-lation signal x2(t) based on AWD and EMD Obviously bothof them can effectively extract the three harmonic wave-forms contained in the original signal which are decom-posed from high frequency to low frequency respectively Asthe number of decomposition layers increases the distancebetween the first extreme point of the layer and the first datapoint increases Whether it is the sliding average method orthe spline envelope method it is difficult to give a satis-factory fit Although many scholars have given various end-point extension methods it has always been ineffective fornonlinear and nonstationary signals

Figure 7 shows the time-frequency distribution result ofthe signal x1(t) based on the fusion method of local fre-quency and AWD and Figure 8 shows the result based onthe fusion method of instantaneous frequency and EMD Itcan be seen that both the local frequency and instantaneousfrequency can accurately represent the stationary distribu-tion of the three harmonic components in the original signalx1(t) But the time-frequency resolution of the fusionmethod of local frequency and AWD is higher than thefusion method of instantaneous frequency and EMD

242 Combination of Harmonic Signal and FM-AM Signal

x2(t) sin(2π middot 30t) +[1 + 05 sin(2π middot 10 middot t)]

middot cos[2π middot 150 middot t + 2 cos(2π middot 5 middot t)](13)

Figure 9 shows the decomposition effects of the sim-ulation signal x2(t) based on AWD and EMD Similarlythere is still a high degree of coincidence and the signalx2(t) is adaptively decomposed into three components Itcan be seen that the first layer of AWD and EMD result is

the FM-AM component the second layer is the harmoniccomponent and the third layer is the trend term

Figure 10 shows the time-frequency distribution result ofthe signal x2(t) based on the fusion method of local fre-quency and AWD and Figure 11 shows the result based onthe fusion method of instantaneous frequency and EMD

In the time-frequency distribution result of the signalx2(t) based on the fusion method of local frequency andAWD as shown in Figure 10 the 30Hz stationary harmonicand FM-AM with 150Hz carrier frequency are clearly

extracted However in Figure 11 the fusion method ofinstantaneous frequency and EMD generate some in-terference information at the low frequency because of thetrend term Additionally comparing Figure 10 withFigure 11 it can be seen that the time-frequency featuresextracted by using the proposed method in this paper haveno false redundant frequency and the resolution is sig-nificantly higher

In summary by comparing the time-frequency analysisof the multicomponent signals it is shown that both the

AWD and the EMD can achieve a good adaptive de-composition effect and both of them have the same accu-racy However in time-frequency analysis the localfrequency is clearer in resolution than instantaneous fre-quency and it not only has clear physical meaning but alsocontains less interference components -erefore the pro-posed method can accurately obtain the essential features ofthe frequency components contained in the original signaland its validity and applicability is verified according tosimulation signals above

3 Quantitative Measure of the Complexity ofNonlinear Time Series

31 Algorithm of LZC -e definition of complex measure isproposed by Kolmogorov and is characterized by thenumber of bits of the shortest program required to produce asequence of symbols Later Lempel and Ziv proposed analgorithm to achieve this complexity called LempelndashZivcomplexity (LZC) which is widely used in nonlinear sci-entific research [41] LZC analysis is based on coarsegraining of the measurements Before the LZC measure iscalculated the time series must be transformed into a finitesymbol sequence Generally an arbitrary time seriesx(i) ∣ i 1 2 3 middot middot middot n is converted into a binary series Bycomparison with the threshold x(i) is converted into a 0-1series S(i) ∣ i 1 2 3 middot middot middot n as follows [42]

S(i) 0 x(i)lt xave

1 x(i)ge xave1113896 (14)

where xave is the mean of time series of x(i) -en the LZCmeasure can be estimated by using the following algorithmas shown in Figure 12

-e abovementioned algorithm is repeated until Q is thelast character -e measure of complexity is c(n) In order toobtain a complexity measure which is independent of theseries length c(n) must be normalized If the length of thesequence is n and the number of different symbols in thesymbol set is 2 it has been proved that the upper bound ofc(n) is given by

limnrarrinfin

c(n) b(n) n

log2(n) (15)

and c(n) can be normalized via b(n)

0leC c(n)

b(n)le 1 (16)

where the normalized complexity index C is called theLempelndashZiv complexity

Obviously equation (17) can be established only if thesample length n is large enough -e literature has given theexperience valve nge 3600 [43] -e complexity index Cpresents the random degree of time series For the com-pletely random time series C is close to 1 On the contrarythe periodic time series is close to 0 In practice the vibrationsignals of reciprocating compressor vary with each faultstates randomly so the LZC can be extracted as a usefulmeasure for machine health condition feature

32 Performance Experiment of LZC To identify the effec-tiveness of LZC method the typical nonlinear dynamicalsystem is taken as an example to investigate the performanceof LZC Consider the following logistic map [44]

xn+1 λ middot xn middot 1minusxn( 1113857 (17)

where xn isin [0 1] λ isin [28 4] λ is the control parameters andthe step size is 001 -e sample length of nonlinear timeseries is N 5000

According to the LZC algorithm the complexity index Cof logistic map with different parameters λ can be calculated-e result is shown in Figure 13

Observe Figures 13(a) and 13(b) it indicates the dynamicalbehaviour of logistic map with different control parameters λ-e trends of Lyapunov exponent and the complexity index Care much synchronous When 28le λlt 357 the Lyapunovexponent is less than zero and it shows that the logistic systementers in the periodic or quasiperiodic region Moreover mostvalues of LZC are close to zero When 357lt λle 4 Lyapunovexponent is greater than zero it indicates that the systementers the chaos region Meanwhile the complexity index Ctends to be around 05 During this region the Lyapunovexponent less than zero including λ 363 λ 374 andλ 383 are called periodic windows In these regions thecomplexity index C is still close to zero

In summary LZC can be used as identifying the dy-namical behaviour of nonlinear system effectively -eanalysis results are stable and reliable when the number ofsamples increase -erefore the LZC value of differentsystem states can be compared together without any priorknowledge about fault mechanism

According to the proposed AWD method in this paperthe original vibration signal with background noise can beadaptively decomposed into a series of waveform compo-nent signals s1(t) s2(t) sm(t) -e MI value of eachcomponent signal and the original signal were calculatedfollowing the steps of equation (18) respectively By sortingone or more correlated component signals are selected to berecombined to form a noise reduction signal

42 LZC Feature Extraction of Rolling Bearing in TimeDomain In this section vibration signals of the rollingbearings under different faults are taken as an applicationobject -e standard data are obtained from the bearingdata center of the Electrical Engineering Laboratory of CaseWestern Reserve University and its experimental benchstructure is shown in Figure 14 In the experiment the deepgroove ball bearing was selected at the motor drive end-edetailed parameters are shown in Table 1 In this experi-ment the tiny pits of the inner ring the outer ring and therolling element of the bearing are processed by the elec-tric spark machine to simulate the single-point damagefault diameter and depth size are 01778mmtimes 02794mm

According to the parameters in Table 1 taking the speedof 1750 rmin as an example the frequency features of faultsin each part can be calculated separately as follows

where fIR fOR fBE and f0 are corresponding to the faultfrequency of the inner ring the outer ring the rolling el-ement and the fundamental frequency of rotation speedrespectively

Figure 15 shows the time domain waveform of the vi-bration signal of rolling bearing in four states including thenormal state inner ring fault state outer ring fault state androlling element fault state -e rotation speed is 1750 rminand the damage size is 05334mmtimes 02794mm It can beseen that the vibration signals in the fault state of the innerring and the outer ring have obvious impact feature whilethe features of the rolling element fault state and the normalstate are not obvious It shows that the vibration amplitudeof the normal state is the smallest and the the amplitude ofthe outer ring state is the largest -is is mainly because theselected outer ring fault position is in the main bearingdirection and the load of the rotor increases the impactenergy of the rolling element falling into the outer ring

Figure 16 shows the AWD results of the above four states ofrolling bearings -e vibration signals in each state are adap-tively decomposed into six components As the number ofdecomposition layers increases the frequency graduallychanges from the high-frequency band to the low-frequencyband -e components of each layer in the normal state donot have obvious impact features the signal-to-noise ratio is

relatively low and the main feature of components is not easilyrecognized -e first three components of the inner ring faultstate present the impact features and the latter three compo-nents present the harmonic features However the outer ringfault state and the rolling element fault state have the significantperiodic impact features in the first four components and theremaining component are low-frequency harmonic periodicfeatures In addition the noise content of the first and secondlayer waveform components in each state is larger than that ofthe other layer components and the energy of the signal ismainly concentrated in the first two components

According to the analysis of AWD results we can easilyobtain the main components and then the LempelndashZivcomplexmeasure analysis is performed on each signal by usingthe LZC algorithm Table 2 shows the LZC features of the time-domain signal for the rolling bearing in four states at differentspeeds with the damage size 05334mmtimes 02794mm Table 3shows the LZC features of the time-domain signal for therolling bearings in fault states under different damage di-ameters with the speed 1750 rmin

It can be seen from Table 2 that the LZC values of rollingbear in the inner ring fault state are gradually decreased withthe speed decreased from 1797 rmin to 1730 rmin but theLZC values are increased in the other three states-e reasonmay be as follows With the decreasing of the rotational thebearing load increases relatively and the modulation effecton the signal is more significant -e contact between theouter ring and the rolling element is basically fixed and itsmain role is frequency modulation So the new frequencychange is increased -e complexity of the signal leads to ahigher LZC value However when the inner ring rotates withthe axis the contact area of pitting fault changes continu-ously and its main role is to generate a low-frequencyamplitude modulation It is different from frequencymodulation that the signal is affected globally in the low-frequency oscillation mode -erefore the periodicity isenhanced and the randomness is reduced which results in alower LZC value

In Table 3 with the increasing of the damage diameterfrom 01778mm to 07112mm the LZC values of rollingbear in the inner ring fault state are gradually decreasedwhile the LZC values are decreased in the other three states-at is because the rotation speed is constant the load isrelatively stable the damage area is enlarged the actualcontact area between the rolling element and the outer ringis reduced the contact pressure is rapidly increased anddecreased and the impact feature is more obvious -einfluence is dominant reflecting a wider frequency band andharmonics on the spectrum -e result indicates that therandomness of the original signal is more prominent and itresults in a higher LZC value However due to the influenceof the low frequency the vibration signal of inner ringpresents the amplitude modulation feature -e order oforiginal signal is enhanced and the randomness is reducedwhich results in a lower LZC value

43 LZCFeatureExtractionofRollingBearing inTime-FrequencyDomain According to the analysis above we can find that

the time domain features of vibration signal the rollingbearing as shown in Figure 15 cannot directly and accuratelyidentify the characteristic frequency especially for dis-tinguishing the normal state and the fault state of the rollingelement with low signal-to-noise ratio For the complexnonstationary signal of rolling bearing in this section thetime-frequency analysis based on the local frequency andAWD method is applied -e result is shown in Figure 17

In Figure 17 the time-frequency distribution diagram ofthe vibration signal in four states of the rolling bearing showsa typical AM-FM features and the local frequency fluctuatesaround a certain constant value with time -e carrierfrequency in the normal state is 88Hz which is near thetriple frequency of the fundamental frequency and thecarrier frequencies in the inner ring fault state the outer ringfault state and the rolling element fault state are 158Hz105Hz and 138Hz respectively -is is consistent with thetheoretical frequency of each fault state calculated byequations (18)ndash(20) which can further verify the effective-ness of the proposed method In addition according to thetime-frequency analysis it is obvious that the feature of therolling element fault is the most ambiguous the fluctuationis the most severe and the noise is the most seriousHowever the time-frequency distribution of the vibrationsignal under normal condition is relatively stable

In order to accurately quantify these time-frequencyfeature of rolling bearings the LempelndashZiv complexityanalysis method is applied Table 4 shows the LZC com-parison results of the rolling bearing in the time-frequencydomain at different speeds and Table 5 shows the LZCcomparison results of the rolling bearing in time-frequencydomain under different damage diameters It can be seenthat the structural complexity of time-frequency distributionin each state of the rolling bearing has a similar change lawwith the time domain With the decreasing of the rotationalspeed or the improvement of the damage degree the LZCvalues of time-frequency distribution in the inner ring faultgradually decrease but they are increased in the other threestates-e result indicates that the time-frequency transform

preserves the nature of randomness and nonlinearity of theoriginal signal itself which can easily and quickly quantifythe complexity of different fault states In addition com-pared with the LZC value in the time domain the LZC valuein the time-frequency domain is correspondingly reduced-erefore the time-frequency analysis can reduce thestructural complexity of the signal making the fault featureclearer and clearer and suppressing the randomness of thenoise to some extent -e role of sexual interference has laida good foundation for the fault diagnosis of rolling bearings

-e abovementioned decomposition process only de-pends on characteristics of the signal x(t) itself and the localfrequency of each components s1(t) s2(t) sm(t) doesnot depend on the harmonic form -erefore the proposedAWD method has good adaptability

24 Applicability Analysis of the Proposed Method In thissection some simulation examples are taken as the researchobject and the main characteristics of the proposed methodabove in time-frequency analysis of multicomponent signalsare described in detail by comparing with the EMD (em-pirical mode decomposition) method [40]

241 Combination of Multiple Harmonic Signals

x1(t) sin(2π middot 10 middot t) + sin(2π middot 30 middot t) + sin(2π middot 80 middot t)

(12)

Figure 6 shows the decomposition effects of the simu-lation signal x2(t) based on AWD and EMD Obviously bothof them can effectively extract the three harmonic wave-forms contained in the original signal which are decom-posed from high frequency to low frequency respectively Asthe number of decomposition layers increases the distancebetween the first extreme point of the layer and the first datapoint increases Whether it is the sliding average method orthe spline envelope method it is difficult to give a satis-factory fit Although many scholars have given various end-point extension methods it has always been ineffective fornonlinear and nonstationary signals

Figure 7 shows the time-frequency distribution result ofthe signal x1(t) based on the fusion method of local fre-quency and AWD and Figure 8 shows the result based onthe fusion method of instantaneous frequency and EMD Itcan be seen that both the local frequency and instantaneousfrequency can accurately represent the stationary distribu-tion of the three harmonic components in the original signalx1(t) But the time-frequency resolution of the fusionmethod of local frequency and AWD is higher than thefusion method of instantaneous frequency and EMD

242 Combination of Harmonic Signal and FM-AM Signal

middot cos[2π middot 150 middot t + 2 cos(2π middot 5 middot t)](13)

Figure 9 shows the decomposition effects of the sim-ulation signal x2(t) based on AWD and EMD Similarlythere is still a high degree of coincidence and the signalx2(t) is adaptively decomposed into three components Itcan be seen that the first layer of AWD and EMD result is

the FM-AM component the second layer is the harmoniccomponent and the third layer is the trend term

Figure 10 shows the time-frequency distribution result ofthe signal x2(t) based on the fusion method of local fre-quency and AWD and Figure 11 shows the result based onthe fusion method of instantaneous frequency and EMD

In the time-frequency distribution result of the signalx2(t) based on the fusion method of local frequency andAWD as shown in Figure 10 the 30Hz stationary harmonicand FM-AM with 150Hz carrier frequency are clearly

extracted However in Figure 11 the fusion method ofinstantaneous frequency and EMD generate some in-terference information at the low frequency because of thetrend term Additionally comparing Figure 10 withFigure 11 it can be seen that the time-frequency featuresextracted by using the proposed method in this paper haveno false redundant frequency and the resolution is sig-nificantly higher

In summary by comparing the time-frequency analysisof the multicomponent signals it is shown that both the

AWD and the EMD can achieve a good adaptive de-composition effect and both of them have the same accu-racy However in time-frequency analysis the localfrequency is clearer in resolution than instantaneous fre-quency and it not only has clear physical meaning but alsocontains less interference components -erefore the pro-posed method can accurately obtain the essential features ofthe frequency components contained in the original signaland its validity and applicability is verified according tosimulation signals above

3 Quantitative Measure of the Complexity ofNonlinear Time Series

31 Algorithm of LZC -e definition of complex measure isproposed by Kolmogorov and is characterized by thenumber of bits of the shortest program required to produce asequence of symbols Later Lempel and Ziv proposed analgorithm to achieve this complexity called LempelndashZivcomplexity (LZC) which is widely used in nonlinear sci-entific research [41] LZC analysis is based on coarsegraining of the measurements Before the LZC measure iscalculated the time series must be transformed into a finitesymbol sequence Generally an arbitrary time seriesx(i) ∣ i 1 2 3 middot middot middot n is converted into a binary series Bycomparison with the threshold x(i) is converted into a 0-1series S(i) ∣ i 1 2 3 middot middot middot n as follows [42]

S(i) 0 x(i)lt xave

1 x(i)ge xave1113896 (14)

where xave is the mean of time series of x(i) -en the LZCmeasure can be estimated by using the following algorithmas shown in Figure 12

-e abovementioned algorithm is repeated until Q is thelast character -e measure of complexity is c(n) In order toobtain a complexity measure which is independent of theseries length c(n) must be normalized If the length of thesequence is n and the number of different symbols in thesymbol set is 2 it has been proved that the upper bound ofc(n) is given by

limnrarrinfin

c(n) b(n) n

log2(n) (15)

and c(n) can be normalized via b(n)

0leC c(n)

b(n)le 1 (16)

where the normalized complexity index C is called theLempelndashZiv complexity

Obviously equation (17) can be established only if thesample length n is large enough -e literature has given theexperience valve nge 3600 [43] -e complexity index Cpresents the random degree of time series For the com-pletely random time series C is close to 1 On the contrarythe periodic time series is close to 0 In practice the vibrationsignals of reciprocating compressor vary with each faultstates randomly so the LZC can be extracted as a usefulmeasure for machine health condition feature

32 Performance Experiment of LZC To identify the effec-tiveness of LZC method the typical nonlinear dynamicalsystem is taken as an example to investigate the performanceof LZC Consider the following logistic map [44]

xn+1 λ middot xn middot 1minusxn( 1113857 (17)

where xn isin [0 1] λ isin [28 4] λ is the control parameters andthe step size is 001 -e sample length of nonlinear timeseries is N 5000

According to the LZC algorithm the complexity index Cof logistic map with different parameters λ can be calculated-e result is shown in Figure 13

Observe Figures 13(a) and 13(b) it indicates the dynamicalbehaviour of logistic map with different control parameters λ-e trends of Lyapunov exponent and the complexity index Care much synchronous When 28le λlt 357 the Lyapunovexponent is less than zero and it shows that the logistic systementers in the periodic or quasiperiodic region Moreover mostvalues of LZC are close to zero When 357lt λle 4 Lyapunovexponent is greater than zero it indicates that the systementers the chaos region Meanwhile the complexity index Ctends to be around 05 During this region the Lyapunovexponent less than zero including λ 363 λ 374 andλ 383 are called periodic windows In these regions thecomplexity index C is still close to zero

In summary LZC can be used as identifying the dy-namical behaviour of nonlinear system effectively -eanalysis results are stable and reliable when the number ofsamples increase -erefore the LZC value of differentsystem states can be compared together without any priorknowledge about fault mechanism

Figure 15 shows the time domain waveform of the vi-bration signal of rolling bearing in four states including thenormal state inner ring fault state outer ring fault state androlling element fault state -e rotation speed is 1750 rminand the damage size is 05334mmtimes 02794mm It can beseen that the vibration signals in the fault state of the innerring and the outer ring have obvious impact feature whilethe features of the rolling element fault state and the normalstate are not obvious It shows that the vibration amplitudeof the normal state is the smallest and the the amplitude ofthe outer ring state is the largest -is is mainly because theselected outer ring fault position is in the main bearingdirection and the load of the rotor increases the impactenergy of the rolling element falling into the outer ring

Figure 16 shows the AWD results of the above four states ofrolling bearings -e vibration signals in each state are adap-tively decomposed into six components As the number ofdecomposition layers increases the frequency graduallychanges from the high-frequency band to the low-frequencyband -e components of each layer in the normal state donot have obvious impact features the signal-to-noise ratio is

relatively low and the main feature of components is not easilyrecognized -e first three components of the inner ring faultstate present the impact features and the latter three compo-nents present the harmonic features However the outer ringfault state and the rolling element fault state have the significantperiodic impact features in the first four components and theremaining component are low-frequency harmonic periodicfeatures In addition the noise content of the first and secondlayer waveform components in each state is larger than that ofthe other layer components and the energy of the signal ismainly concentrated in the first two components

According to the analysis of AWD results we can easilyobtain the main components and then the LempelndashZivcomplexmeasure analysis is performed on each signal by usingthe LZC algorithm Table 2 shows the LZC features of the time-domain signal for the rolling bearing in four states at differentspeeds with the damage size 05334mmtimes 02794mm Table 3shows the LZC features of the time-domain signal for therolling bearings in fault states under different damage di-ameters with the speed 1750 rmin

It can be seen from Table 2 that the LZC values of rollingbear in the inner ring fault state are gradually decreased withthe speed decreased from 1797 rmin to 1730 rmin but theLZC values are increased in the other three states-e reasonmay be as follows With the decreasing of the rotational thebearing load increases relatively and the modulation effecton the signal is more significant -e contact between theouter ring and the rolling element is basically fixed and itsmain role is frequency modulation So the new frequencychange is increased -e complexity of the signal leads to ahigher LZC value However when the inner ring rotates withthe axis the contact area of pitting fault changes continu-ously and its main role is to generate a low-frequencyamplitude modulation It is different from frequencymodulation that the signal is affected globally in the low-frequency oscillation mode -erefore the periodicity isenhanced and the randomness is reduced which results in alower LZC value

In Table 3 with the increasing of the damage diameterfrom 01778mm to 07112mm the LZC values of rollingbear in the inner ring fault state are gradually decreasedwhile the LZC values are decreased in the other three states-at is because the rotation speed is constant the load isrelatively stable the damage area is enlarged the actualcontact area between the rolling element and the outer ringis reduced the contact pressure is rapidly increased anddecreased and the impact feature is more obvious -einfluence is dominant reflecting a wider frequency band andharmonics on the spectrum -e result indicates that therandomness of the original signal is more prominent and itresults in a higher LZC value However due to the influenceof the low frequency the vibration signal of inner ringpresents the amplitude modulation feature -e order oforiginal signal is enhanced and the randomness is reducedwhich results in a lower LZC value

43 LZCFeatureExtractionofRollingBearing inTime-FrequencyDomain According to the analysis above we can find that

the time domain features of vibration signal the rollingbearing as shown in Figure 15 cannot directly and accuratelyidentify the characteristic frequency especially for dis-tinguishing the normal state and the fault state of the rollingelement with low signal-to-noise ratio For the complexnonstationary signal of rolling bearing in this section thetime-frequency analysis based on the local frequency andAWD method is applied -e result is shown in Figure 17

In Figure 17 the time-frequency distribution diagram ofthe vibration signal in four states of the rolling bearing showsa typical AM-FM features and the local frequency fluctuatesaround a certain constant value with time -e carrierfrequency in the normal state is 88Hz which is near thetriple frequency of the fundamental frequency and thecarrier frequencies in the inner ring fault state the outer ringfault state and the rolling element fault state are 158Hz105Hz and 138Hz respectively -is is consistent with thetheoretical frequency of each fault state calculated byequations (18)ndash(20) which can further verify the effective-ness of the proposed method In addition according to thetime-frequency analysis it is obvious that the feature of therolling element fault is the most ambiguous the fluctuationis the most severe and the noise is the most seriousHowever the time-frequency distribution of the vibrationsignal under normal condition is relatively stable

In order to accurately quantify these time-frequencyfeature of rolling bearings the LempelndashZiv complexityanalysis method is applied Table 4 shows the LZC com-parison results of the rolling bearing in the time-frequencydomain at different speeds and Table 5 shows the LZCcomparison results of the rolling bearing in time-frequencydomain under different damage diameters It can be seenthat the structural complexity of time-frequency distributionin each state of the rolling bearing has a similar change lawwith the time domain With the decreasing of the rotationalspeed or the improvement of the damage degree the LZCvalues of time-frequency distribution in the inner ring faultgradually decrease but they are increased in the other threestates-e result indicates that the time-frequency transform

preserves the nature of randomness and nonlinearity of theoriginal signal itself which can easily and quickly quantifythe complexity of different fault states In addition com-pared with the LZC value in the time domain the LZC valuein the time-frequency domain is correspondingly reduced-erefore the time-frequency analysis can reduce thestructural complexity of the signal making the fault featureclearer and clearer and suppressing the randomness of thenoise to some extent -e role of sexual interference has laida good foundation for the fault diagnosis of rolling bearings

5 Conclusions

A novel local frequency concept and AWD algorithm isproposed for the purpose of time-frequency feature ex-traction for the vibration signal of rolling bearings pre-sented multisource impact nonlinear and nonstationarycharacteristics Compared with the commonly usedmethod of time-frequency analysis based on traditionalfrequency or instantaneous frequency the proposedmethod develops the limitation of frequency definition on

extracted However in Figure 11 the fusion method ofinstantaneous frequency and EMD generate some in-terference information at the low frequency because of thetrend term Additionally comparing Figure 10 withFigure 11 it can be seen that the time-frequency featuresextracted by using the proposed method in this paper haveno false redundant frequency and the resolution is sig-nificantly higher

In summary by comparing the time-frequency analysisof the multicomponent signals it is shown that both the

AWD and the EMD can achieve a good adaptive de-composition effect and both of them have the same accu-racy However in time-frequency analysis the localfrequency is clearer in resolution than instantaneous fre-quency and it not only has clear physical meaning but alsocontains less interference components -erefore the pro-posed method can accurately obtain the essential features ofthe frequency components contained in the original signaland its validity and applicability is verified according tosimulation signals above

3 Quantitative Measure of the Complexity ofNonlinear Time Series

31 Algorithm of LZC -e definition of complex measure isproposed by Kolmogorov and is characterized by thenumber of bits of the shortest program required to produce asequence of symbols Later Lempel and Ziv proposed analgorithm to achieve this complexity called LempelndashZivcomplexity (LZC) which is widely used in nonlinear sci-entific research [41] LZC analysis is based on coarsegraining of the measurements Before the LZC measure iscalculated the time series must be transformed into a finitesymbol sequence Generally an arbitrary time seriesx(i) ∣ i 1 2 3 middot middot middot n is converted into a binary series Bycomparison with the threshold x(i) is converted into a 0-1series S(i) ∣ i 1 2 3 middot middot middot n as follows [42]

S(i) 0 x(i)lt xave

1 x(i)ge xave1113896 (14)

where xave is the mean of time series of x(i) -en the LZCmeasure can be estimated by using the following algorithmas shown in Figure 12

-e abovementioned algorithm is repeated until Q is thelast character -e measure of complexity is c(n) In order toobtain a complexity measure which is independent of theseries length c(n) must be normalized If the length of thesequence is n and the number of different symbols in thesymbol set is 2 it has been proved that the upper bound ofc(n) is given by

limnrarrinfin

c(n) b(n) n

log2(n) (15)

and c(n) can be normalized via b(n)

0leC c(n)

b(n)le 1 (16)

where the normalized complexity index C is called theLempelndashZiv complexity

Obviously equation (17) can be established only if thesample length n is large enough -e literature has given theexperience valve nge 3600 [43] -e complexity index Cpresents the random degree of time series For the com-pletely random time series C is close to 1 On the contrarythe periodic time series is close to 0 In practice the vibrationsignals of reciprocating compressor vary with each faultstates randomly so the LZC can be extracted as a usefulmeasure for machine health condition feature

32 Performance Experiment of LZC To identify the effec-tiveness of LZC method the typical nonlinear dynamicalsystem is taken as an example to investigate the performanceof LZC Consider the following logistic map [44]

xn+1 λ middot xn middot 1minusxn( 1113857 (17)

where xn isin [0 1] λ isin [28 4] λ is the control parameters andthe step size is 001 -e sample length of nonlinear timeseries is N 5000

According to the LZC algorithm the complexity index Cof logistic map with different parameters λ can be calculated-e result is shown in Figure 13

Observe Figures 13(a) and 13(b) it indicates the dynamicalbehaviour of logistic map with different control parameters λ-e trends of Lyapunov exponent and the complexity index Care much synchronous When 28le λlt 357 the Lyapunovexponent is less than zero and it shows that the logistic systementers in the periodic or quasiperiodic region Moreover mostvalues of LZC are close to zero When 357lt λle 4 Lyapunovexponent is greater than zero it indicates that the systementers the chaos region Meanwhile the complexity index Ctends to be around 05 During this region the Lyapunovexponent less than zero including λ 363 λ 374 andλ 383 are called periodic windows In these regions thecomplexity index C is still close to zero

In summary LZC can be used as identifying the dy-namical behaviour of nonlinear system effectively -eanalysis results are stable and reliable when the number ofsamples increase -erefore the LZC value of differentsystem states can be compared together without any priorknowledge about fault mechanism

Figure 15 shows the time domain waveform of the vi-bration signal of rolling bearing in four states including thenormal state inner ring fault state outer ring fault state androlling element fault state -e rotation speed is 1750 rminand the damage size is 05334mmtimes 02794mm It can beseen that the vibration signals in the fault state of the innerring and the outer ring have obvious impact feature whilethe features of the rolling element fault state and the normalstate are not obvious It shows that the vibration amplitudeof the normal state is the smallest and the the amplitude ofthe outer ring state is the largest -is is mainly because theselected outer ring fault position is in the main bearingdirection and the load of the rotor increases the impactenergy of the rolling element falling into the outer ring

Figure 16 shows the AWD results of the above four states ofrolling bearings -e vibration signals in each state are adap-tively decomposed into six components As the number ofdecomposition layers increases the frequency graduallychanges from the high-frequency band to the low-frequencyband -e components of each layer in the normal state donot have obvious impact features the signal-to-noise ratio is

relatively low and the main feature of components is not easilyrecognized -e first three components of the inner ring faultstate present the impact features and the latter three compo-nents present the harmonic features However the outer ringfault state and the rolling element fault state have the significantperiodic impact features in the first four components and theremaining component are low-frequency harmonic periodicfeatures In addition the noise content of the first and secondlayer waveform components in each state is larger than that ofthe other layer components and the energy of the signal ismainly concentrated in the first two components

According to the analysis of AWD results we can easilyobtain the main components and then the LempelndashZivcomplexmeasure analysis is performed on each signal by usingthe LZC algorithm Table 2 shows the LZC features of the time-domain signal for the rolling bearing in four states at differentspeeds with the damage size 05334mmtimes 02794mm Table 3shows the LZC features of the time-domain signal for therolling bearings in fault states under different damage di-ameters with the speed 1750 rmin

It can be seen from Table 2 that the LZC values of rollingbear in the inner ring fault state are gradually decreased withthe speed decreased from 1797 rmin to 1730 rmin but theLZC values are increased in the other three states-e reasonmay be as follows With the decreasing of the rotational thebearing load increases relatively and the modulation effecton the signal is more significant -e contact between theouter ring and the rolling element is basically fixed and itsmain role is frequency modulation So the new frequencychange is increased -e complexity of the signal leads to ahigher LZC value However when the inner ring rotates withthe axis the contact area of pitting fault changes continu-ously and its main role is to generate a low-frequencyamplitude modulation It is different from frequencymodulation that the signal is affected globally in the low-frequency oscillation mode -erefore the periodicity isenhanced and the randomness is reduced which results in alower LZC value

In Table 3 with the increasing of the damage diameterfrom 01778mm to 07112mm the LZC values of rollingbear in the inner ring fault state are gradually decreasedwhile the LZC values are decreased in the other three states-at is because the rotation speed is constant the load isrelatively stable the damage area is enlarged the actualcontact area between the rolling element and the outer ringis reduced the contact pressure is rapidly increased anddecreased and the impact feature is more obvious -einfluence is dominant reflecting a wider frequency band andharmonics on the spectrum -e result indicates that therandomness of the original signal is more prominent and itresults in a higher LZC value However due to the influenceof the low frequency the vibration signal of inner ringpresents the amplitude modulation feature -e order oforiginal signal is enhanced and the randomness is reducedwhich results in a lower LZC value

43 LZCFeatureExtractionofRollingBearing inTime-FrequencyDomain According to the analysis above we can find that

the time domain features of vibration signal the rollingbearing as shown in Figure 15 cannot directly and accuratelyidentify the characteristic frequency especially for dis-tinguishing the normal state and the fault state of the rollingelement with low signal-to-noise ratio For the complexnonstationary signal of rolling bearing in this section thetime-frequency analysis based on the local frequency andAWD method is applied -e result is shown in Figure 17

In Figure 17 the time-frequency distribution diagram ofthe vibration signal in four states of the rolling bearing showsa typical AM-FM features and the local frequency fluctuatesaround a certain constant value with time -e carrierfrequency in the normal state is 88Hz which is near thetriple frequency of the fundamental frequency and thecarrier frequencies in the inner ring fault state the outer ringfault state and the rolling element fault state are 158Hz105Hz and 138Hz respectively -is is consistent with thetheoretical frequency of each fault state calculated byequations (18)ndash(20) which can further verify the effective-ness of the proposed method In addition according to thetime-frequency analysis it is obvious that the feature of therolling element fault is the most ambiguous the fluctuationis the most severe and the noise is the most seriousHowever the time-frequency distribution of the vibrationsignal under normal condition is relatively stable

In order to accurately quantify these time-frequencyfeature of rolling bearings the LempelndashZiv complexityanalysis method is applied Table 4 shows the LZC com-parison results of the rolling bearing in the time-frequencydomain at different speeds and Table 5 shows the LZCcomparison results of the rolling bearing in time-frequencydomain under different damage diameters It can be seenthat the structural complexity of time-frequency distributionin each state of the rolling bearing has a similar change lawwith the time domain With the decreasing of the rotationalspeed or the improvement of the damage degree the LZCvalues of time-frequency distribution in the inner ring faultgradually decrease but they are increased in the other threestates-e result indicates that the time-frequency transform

preserves the nature of randomness and nonlinearity of theoriginal signal itself which can easily and quickly quantifythe complexity of different fault states In addition com-pared with the LZC value in the time domain the LZC valuein the time-frequency domain is correspondingly reduced-erefore the time-frequency analysis can reduce thestructural complexity of the signal making the fault featureclearer and clearer and suppressing the randomness of thenoise to some extent -e role of sexual interference has laida good foundation for the fault diagnosis of rolling bearings

5 Conclusions

A novel local frequency concept and AWD algorithm isproposed for the purpose of time-frequency feature ex-traction for the vibration signal of rolling bearings pre-sented multisource impact nonlinear and nonstationarycharacteristics Compared with the commonly usedmethod of time-frequency analysis based on traditionalfrequency or instantaneous frequency the proposedmethod develops the limitation of frequency definition on

32 Performance Experiment of LZC To identify the effec-tiveness of LZC method the typical nonlinear dynamicalsystem is taken as an example to investigate the performanceof LZC Consider the following logistic map [44]

xn+1 λ middot xn middot 1minusxn( 1113857 (17)

where xn isin [0 1] λ isin [28 4] λ is the control parameters andthe step size is 001 -e sample length of nonlinear timeseries is N 5000

According to the LZC algorithm the complexity index Cof logistic map with different parameters λ can be calculated-e result is shown in Figure 13

Observe Figures 13(a) and 13(b) it indicates the dynamicalbehaviour of logistic map with different control parameters λ-e trends of Lyapunov exponent and the complexity index Care much synchronous When 28le λlt 357 the Lyapunovexponent is less than zero and it shows that the logistic systementers in the periodic or quasiperiodic region Moreover mostvalues of LZC are close to zero When 357lt λle 4 Lyapunovexponent is greater than zero it indicates that the systementers the chaos region Meanwhile the complexity index Ctends to be around 05 During this region the Lyapunovexponent less than zero including λ 363 λ 374 andλ 383 are called periodic windows In these regions thecomplexity index C is still close to zero

In summary LZC can be used as identifying the dy-namical behaviour of nonlinear system effectively -eanalysis results are stable and reliable when the number ofsamples increase -erefore the LZC value of differentsystem states can be compared together without any priorknowledge about fault mechanism

According to the parameters in Table 1 taking the speedof 1750 rmin as an example the frequency features of faultsin each part can be calculated separately as follows

Figure 15 shows the time domain waveform of the vi-bration signal of rolling bearing in four states including thenormal state inner ring fault state outer ring fault state androlling element fault state -e rotation speed is 1750 rminand the damage size is 05334mmtimes 02794mm It can beseen that the vibration signals in the fault state of the innerring and the outer ring have obvious impact feature whilethe features of the rolling element fault state and the normalstate are not obvious It shows that the vibration amplitudeof the normal state is the smallest and the the amplitude ofthe outer ring state is the largest -is is mainly because theselected outer ring fault position is in the main bearingdirection and the load of the rotor increases the impactenergy of the rolling element falling into the outer ring

Figure 16 shows the AWD results of the above four states ofrolling bearings -e vibration signals in each state are adap-tively decomposed into six components As the number ofdecomposition layers increases the frequency graduallychanges from the high-frequency band to the low-frequencyband -e components of each layer in the normal state donot have obvious impact features the signal-to-noise ratio is

relatively low and the main feature of components is not easilyrecognized -e first three components of the inner ring faultstate present the impact features and the latter three compo-nents present the harmonic features However the outer ringfault state and the rolling element fault state have the significantperiodic impact features in the first four components and theremaining component are low-frequency harmonic periodicfeatures In addition the noise content of the first and secondlayer waveform components in each state is larger than that ofthe other layer components and the energy of the signal ismainly concentrated in the first two components

According to the analysis of AWD results we can easilyobtain the main components and then the LempelndashZivcomplexmeasure analysis is performed on each signal by usingthe LZC algorithm Table 2 shows the LZC features of the time-domain signal for the rolling bearing in four states at differentspeeds with the damage size 05334mmtimes 02794mm Table 3shows the LZC features of the time-domain signal for therolling bearings in fault states under different damage di-ameters with the speed 1750 rmin

It can be seen from Table 2 that the LZC values of rollingbear in the inner ring fault state are gradually decreased withthe speed decreased from 1797 rmin to 1730 rmin but theLZC values are increased in the other three states-e reasonmay be as follows With the decreasing of the rotational thebearing load increases relatively and the modulation effecton the signal is more significant -e contact between theouter ring and the rolling element is basically fixed and itsmain role is frequency modulation So the new frequencychange is increased -e complexity of the signal leads to ahigher LZC value However when the inner ring rotates withthe axis the contact area of pitting fault changes continu-ously and its main role is to generate a low-frequencyamplitude modulation It is different from frequencymodulation that the signal is affected globally in the low-frequency oscillation mode -erefore the periodicity isenhanced and the randomness is reduced which results in alower LZC value

In Table 3 with the increasing of the damage diameterfrom 01778mm to 07112mm the LZC values of rollingbear in the inner ring fault state are gradually decreasedwhile the LZC values are decreased in the other three states-at is because the rotation speed is constant the load isrelatively stable the damage area is enlarged the actualcontact area between the rolling element and the outer ringis reduced the contact pressure is rapidly increased anddecreased and the impact feature is more obvious -einfluence is dominant reflecting a wider frequency band andharmonics on the spectrum -e result indicates that therandomness of the original signal is more prominent and itresults in a higher LZC value However due to the influenceof the low frequency the vibration signal of inner ringpresents the amplitude modulation feature -e order oforiginal signal is enhanced and the randomness is reducedwhich results in a lower LZC value

43 LZCFeatureExtractionofRollingBearing inTime-FrequencyDomain According to the analysis above we can find that

the time domain features of vibration signal the rollingbearing as shown in Figure 15 cannot directly and accuratelyidentify the characteristic frequency especially for dis-tinguishing the normal state and the fault state of the rollingelement with low signal-to-noise ratio For the complexnonstationary signal of rolling bearing in this section thetime-frequency analysis based on the local frequency andAWD method is applied -e result is shown in Figure 17

In Figure 17 the time-frequency distribution diagram ofthe vibration signal in four states of the rolling bearing showsa typical AM-FM features and the local frequency fluctuatesaround a certain constant value with time -e carrierfrequency in the normal state is 88Hz which is near thetriple frequency of the fundamental frequency and thecarrier frequencies in the inner ring fault state the outer ringfault state and the rolling element fault state are 158Hz105Hz and 138Hz respectively -is is consistent with thetheoretical frequency of each fault state calculated byequations (18)ndash(20) which can further verify the effective-ness of the proposed method In addition according to thetime-frequency analysis it is obvious that the feature of therolling element fault is the most ambiguous the fluctuationis the most severe and the noise is the most seriousHowever the time-frequency distribution of the vibrationsignal under normal condition is relatively stable

In order to accurately quantify these time-frequencyfeature of rolling bearings the LempelndashZiv complexityanalysis method is applied Table 4 shows the LZC com-parison results of the rolling bearing in the time-frequencydomain at different speeds and Table 5 shows the LZCcomparison results of the rolling bearing in time-frequencydomain under different damage diameters It can be seenthat the structural complexity of time-frequency distributionin each state of the rolling bearing has a similar change lawwith the time domain With the decreasing of the rotationalspeed or the improvement of the damage degree the LZCvalues of time-frequency distribution in the inner ring faultgradually decrease but they are increased in the other threestates-e result indicates that the time-frequency transform

preserves the nature of randomness and nonlinearity of theoriginal signal itself which can easily and quickly quantifythe complexity of different fault states In addition com-pared with the LZC value in the time domain the LZC valuein the time-frequency domain is correspondingly reduced-erefore the time-frequency analysis can reduce thestructural complexity of the signal making the fault featureclearer and clearer and suppressing the randomness of thenoise to some extent -e role of sexual interference has laida good foundation for the fault diagnosis of rolling bearings

5 Conclusions

A novel local frequency concept and AWD algorithm isproposed for the purpose of time-frequency feature ex-traction for the vibration signal of rolling bearings pre-sented multisource impact nonlinear and nonstationarycharacteristics Compared with the commonly usedmethod of time-frequency analysis based on traditionalfrequency or instantaneous frequency the proposedmethod develops the limitation of frequency definition on

03556mm times 02794mm 05334mm times 02794mm and07112mm times 127mm respectively -e sampling fre-quency fs is 12000Hz the running speed is set separatelyinto 1797 rmin 1772 rmin 1750 rmin and 1730 rminwhich are corresponding to fundamental frequency f0 of therolling bearings 2995Hz 2953Hz 2917Hz and 2883HzWhere the fault position of the outer ring is selected at the 6orsquoclock direction which is the main load position

According to the parameters in Table 1 taking the speedof 1750 rmin as an example the frequency features of faultsin each part can be calculated separately as follows

where fIR fOR fBE and f0 are corresponding to the faultfrequency of the inner ring the outer ring the rolling el-ement and the fundamental frequency of rotation speedrespectively

Figure 15 shows the time domain waveform of the vi-bration signal of rolling bearing in four states including thenormal state inner ring fault state outer ring fault state androlling element fault state -e rotation speed is 1750 rminand the damage size is 05334mmtimes 02794mm It can beseen that the vibration signals in the fault state of the innerring and the outer ring have obvious impact feature whilethe features of the rolling element fault state and the normalstate are not obvious It shows that the vibration amplitudeof the normal state is the smallest and the the amplitude ofthe outer ring state is the largest -is is mainly because theselected outer ring fault position is in the main bearingdirection and the load of the rotor increases the impactenergy of the rolling element falling into the outer ring

Figure 16 shows the AWD results of the above four states ofrolling bearings -e vibration signals in each state are adap-tively decomposed into six components As the number ofdecomposition layers increases the frequency graduallychanges from the high-frequency band to the low-frequencyband -e components of each layer in the normal state donot have obvious impact features the signal-to-noise ratio is

relatively low and the main feature of components is not easilyrecognized -e first three components of the inner ring faultstate present the impact features and the latter three compo-nents present the harmonic features However the outer ringfault state and the rolling element fault state have the significantperiodic impact features in the first four components and theremaining component are low-frequency harmonic periodicfeatures In addition the noise content of the first and secondlayer waveform components in each state is larger than that ofthe other layer components and the energy of the signal ismainly concentrated in the first two components

According to the analysis of AWD results we can easilyobtain the main components and then the LempelndashZivcomplexmeasure analysis is performed on each signal by usingthe LZC algorithm Table 2 shows the LZC features of the time-domain signal for the rolling bearing in four states at differentspeeds with the damage size 05334mmtimes 02794mm Table 3shows the LZC features of the time-domain signal for therolling bearings in fault states under different damage di-ameters with the speed 1750 rmin

It can be seen from Table 2 that the LZC values of rollingbear in the inner ring fault state are gradually decreased withthe speed decreased from 1797 rmin to 1730 rmin but theLZC values are increased in the other three states-e reasonmay be as follows With the decreasing of the rotational thebearing load increases relatively and the modulation effecton the signal is more significant -e contact between theouter ring and the rolling element is basically fixed and itsmain role is frequency modulation So the new frequencychange is increased -e complexity of the signal leads to ahigher LZC value However when the inner ring rotates withthe axis the contact area of pitting fault changes continu-ously and its main role is to generate a low-frequencyamplitude modulation It is different from frequencymodulation that the signal is affected globally in the low-frequency oscillation mode -erefore the periodicity isenhanced and the randomness is reduced which results in alower LZC value

In Table 3 with the increasing of the damage diameterfrom 01778mm to 07112mm the LZC values of rollingbear in the inner ring fault state are gradually decreasedwhile the LZC values are decreased in the other three states-at is because the rotation speed is constant the load isrelatively stable the damage area is enlarged the actualcontact area between the rolling element and the outer ringis reduced the contact pressure is rapidly increased anddecreased and the impact feature is more obvious -einfluence is dominant reflecting a wider frequency band andharmonics on the spectrum -e result indicates that therandomness of the original signal is more prominent and itresults in a higher LZC value However due to the influenceof the low frequency the vibration signal of inner ringpresents the amplitude modulation feature -e order oforiginal signal is enhanced and the randomness is reducedwhich results in a lower LZC value

43 LZCFeatureExtractionofRollingBearing inTime-FrequencyDomain According to the analysis above we can find that

the time domain features of vibration signal the rollingbearing as shown in Figure 15 cannot directly and accuratelyidentify the characteristic frequency especially for dis-tinguishing the normal state and the fault state of the rollingelement with low signal-to-noise ratio For the complexnonstationary signal of rolling bearing in this section thetime-frequency analysis based on the local frequency andAWD method is applied -e result is shown in Figure 17

In Figure 17 the time-frequency distribution diagram ofthe vibration signal in four states of the rolling bearing showsa typical AM-FM features and the local frequency fluctuatesaround a certain constant value with time -e carrierfrequency in the normal state is 88Hz which is near thetriple frequency of the fundamental frequency and thecarrier frequencies in the inner ring fault state the outer ringfault state and the rolling element fault state are 158Hz105Hz and 138Hz respectively -is is consistent with thetheoretical frequency of each fault state calculated byequations (18)ndash(20) which can further verify the effective-ness of the proposed method In addition according to thetime-frequency analysis it is obvious that the feature of therolling element fault is the most ambiguous the fluctuationis the most severe and the noise is the most seriousHowever the time-frequency distribution of the vibrationsignal under normal condition is relatively stable

In order to accurately quantify these time-frequencyfeature of rolling bearings the LempelndashZiv complexityanalysis method is applied Table 4 shows the LZC com-parison results of the rolling bearing in the time-frequencydomain at different speeds and Table 5 shows the LZCcomparison results of the rolling bearing in time-frequencydomain under different damage diameters It can be seenthat the structural complexity of time-frequency distributionin each state of the rolling bearing has a similar change lawwith the time domain With the decreasing of the rotationalspeed or the improvement of the damage degree the LZCvalues of time-frequency distribution in the inner ring faultgradually decrease but they are increased in the other threestates-e result indicates that the time-frequency transform

preserves the nature of randomness and nonlinearity of theoriginal signal itself which can easily and quickly quantifythe complexity of different fault states In addition com-pared with the LZC value in the time domain the LZC valuein the time-frequency domain is correspondingly reduced-erefore the time-frequency analysis can reduce thestructural complexity of the signal making the fault featureclearer and clearer and suppressing the randomness of thenoise to some extent -e role of sexual interference has laida good foundation for the fault diagnosis of rolling bearings

5 Conclusions

A novel local frequency concept and AWD algorithm isproposed for the purpose of time-frequency feature ex-traction for the vibration signal of rolling bearings pre-sented multisource impact nonlinear and nonstationarycharacteristics Compared with the commonly usedmethod of time-frequency analysis based on traditionalfrequency or instantaneous frequency the proposedmethod develops the limitation of frequency definition on

relatively low and the main feature of components is not easilyrecognized -e first three components of the inner ring faultstate present the impact features and the latter three compo-nents present the harmonic features However the outer ringfault state and the rolling element fault state have the significantperiodic impact features in the first four components and theremaining component are low-frequency harmonic periodicfeatures In addition the noise content of the first and secondlayer waveform components in each state is larger than that ofthe other layer components and the energy of the signal ismainly concentrated in the first two components

According to the analysis of AWD results we can easilyobtain the main components and then the LempelndashZivcomplexmeasure analysis is performed on each signal by usingthe LZC algorithm Table 2 shows the LZC features of the time-domain signal for the rolling bearing in four states at differentspeeds with the damage size 05334mmtimes 02794mm Table 3shows the LZC features of the time-domain signal for therolling bearings in fault states under different damage di-ameters with the speed 1750 rmin

It can be seen from Table 2 that the LZC values of rollingbear in the inner ring fault state are gradually decreased withthe speed decreased from 1797 rmin to 1730 rmin but theLZC values are increased in the other three states-e reasonmay be as follows With the decreasing of the rotational thebearing load increases relatively and the modulation effecton the signal is more significant -e contact between theouter ring and the rolling element is basically fixed and itsmain role is frequency modulation So the new frequencychange is increased -e complexity of the signal leads to ahigher LZC value However when the inner ring rotates withthe axis the contact area of pitting fault changes continu-ously and its main role is to generate a low-frequencyamplitude modulation It is different from frequencymodulation that the signal is affected globally in the low-frequency oscillation mode -erefore the periodicity isenhanced and the randomness is reduced which results in alower LZC value

In Table 3 with the increasing of the damage diameterfrom 01778mm to 07112mm the LZC values of rollingbear in the inner ring fault state are gradually decreasedwhile the LZC values are decreased in the other three states-at is because the rotation speed is constant the load isrelatively stable the damage area is enlarged the actualcontact area between the rolling element and the outer ringis reduced the contact pressure is rapidly increased anddecreased and the impact feature is more obvious -einfluence is dominant reflecting a wider frequency band andharmonics on the spectrum -e result indicates that therandomness of the original signal is more prominent and itresults in a higher LZC value However due to the influenceof the low frequency the vibration signal of inner ringpresents the amplitude modulation feature -e order oforiginal signal is enhanced and the randomness is reducedwhich results in a lower LZC value

43 LZCFeatureExtractionofRollingBearing inTime-FrequencyDomain According to the analysis above we can find that

the time domain features of vibration signal the rollingbearing as shown in Figure 15 cannot directly and accuratelyidentify the characteristic frequency especially for dis-tinguishing the normal state and the fault state of the rollingelement with low signal-to-noise ratio For the complexnonstationary signal of rolling bearing in this section thetime-frequency analysis based on the local frequency andAWD method is applied -e result is shown in Figure 17

In Figure 17 the time-frequency distribution diagram ofthe vibration signal in four states of the rolling bearing showsa typical AM-FM features and the local frequency fluctuatesaround a certain constant value with time -e carrierfrequency in the normal state is 88Hz which is near thetriple frequency of the fundamental frequency and thecarrier frequencies in the inner ring fault state the outer ringfault state and the rolling element fault state are 158Hz105Hz and 138Hz respectively -is is consistent with thetheoretical frequency of each fault state calculated byequations (18)ndash(20) which can further verify the effective-ness of the proposed method In addition according to thetime-frequency analysis it is obvious that the feature of therolling element fault is the most ambiguous the fluctuationis the most severe and the noise is the most seriousHowever the time-frequency distribution of the vibrationsignal under normal condition is relatively stable

In order to accurately quantify these time-frequencyfeature of rolling bearings the LempelndashZiv complexityanalysis method is applied Table 4 shows the LZC com-parison results of the rolling bearing in the time-frequencydomain at different speeds and Table 5 shows the LZCcomparison results of the rolling bearing in time-frequencydomain under different damage diameters It can be seenthat the structural complexity of time-frequency distributionin each state of the rolling bearing has a similar change lawwith the time domain With the decreasing of the rotationalspeed or the improvement of the damage degree the LZCvalues of time-frequency distribution in the inner ring faultgradually decrease but they are increased in the other threestates-e result indicates that the time-frequency transform

preserves the nature of randomness and nonlinearity of theoriginal signal itself which can easily and quickly quantifythe complexity of different fault states In addition com-pared with the LZC value in the time domain the LZC valuein the time-frequency domain is correspondingly reduced-erefore the time-frequency analysis can reduce thestructural complexity of the signal making the fault featureclearer and clearer and suppressing the randomness of thenoise to some extent -e role of sexual interference has laida good foundation for the fault diagnosis of rolling bearings

5 Conclusions

A novel local frequency concept and AWD algorithm isproposed for the purpose of time-frequency feature ex-traction for the vibration signal of rolling bearings pre-sented multisource impact nonlinear and nonstationarycharacteristics Compared with the commonly usedmethod of time-frequency analysis based on traditionalfrequency or instantaneous frequency the proposedmethod develops the limitation of frequency definition on
