Blind Fault Extraction of Rolling-Bearing Compound Fault Based on Improved Morphological Filtering and Sparse Component Analysis

In order to effectively separate and extract bearing composite faults, in view of the non-linearity, strong interference and unknown number of fault source signals of the measured fault signals, a composite fault-diagnosis blind extraction method based on improved morphological filtering of sinC function (SMF), density peak clustering (DPC) and orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) is proposed. In this method, the sinC function is used as the structural element of the morphological filter for the first time to improve the traditional morphological filter. After the observation signal is processed by the improved morphological filter, the impact characteristics of the signal are improved, and the signal meets the sparsity. Then, on the premise that the number of clustering is unknown, the density peak algorithm is used to cluster sparse signals to obtain the clustering center, which is equivalent to the hybrid matrix. Finally, the hybrid matrix is transformed into a sensing matrix, and the signal is transformed into the frequency domain to complete the compressive sensing and reconstruction of the signal in the frequency domain. Both simulation and measured signal results show that this algorithm can effectively complete the blind separation of rolling bearing faults when the number of fault sources is unknown, and the time cost can be reduced by about 75%.
