Study of Slope Integral Extension Mode Decomposition Method for Bearing-Nonlinear Vibration Signal

This study aims to solve the problem of extreme point ambiguity caused by energy instability at the signal end. Thus, an adaptive nonlinear signal decomposition method based on motion energy accumulation division is proposed, namely slope integral extension mode decomposition (SIEMD). The proposed method considers the fluctuation rate and vibration energy between the peaks of the waveform as its scale. Firstly, the comprehensive index is defined to adaptively select the ideal interval, and the extension characteristics of the waveform signal are obtained. Secondly, the energy of the waveform interval is iterated. Hence, the optimal extension waveform is fitted by combining the edge position information of the curve. The experimental part verifies that the method can extract 92 % of the fault information, and verifies that the proposed method overcomes the limitation of the previous one-dimensional signal waveform dimension. Moreover, from the perspective of signal energy, it eliminates the false information of the intrinsic modal function (IMF) components, more suitable for the randomness of the signal, thereby providing a new way for fault feature extraction.
