Description
Summary:For mechanical compound fault, it is of great significance to employ the vibration signal of a single-channel compound fault to analyze and realize the separation of multiple fault sources, which is essentially the problem of single-channel blind source separation. Shift invariant K-means singular value decomposition (shift invariant K-SVD) dictionary learning is suitable to extract the periodic and repeated fault features of a rotating machinery fault, hence in this article a single-channel compound fault analysis method is put forward which combines shift invariant K-SVD with improved fast independent component analysis (improved FastICA) algorithm. Firstly, based on single-channel compound fault signal, the shift invariant K-SVD algorithm can be used for learning multiple latent components that can be constructed as a virtual multi-channel signal. Then the improved FastICA algorithm is utilized to realize the separation of multiple fault source signals. With regard to the FastICA algorithm, the third-order convergence Newton iteration method is adopted to improve convergence speed. Moreover, in order to address the problem that FastICA is very sensitive to initialization, a steepest descent method can be applied. The experimental analysis of the compound fault of rolling bearing verifies that the presented method is effective to separate multiple fault source signals and the improved FastICA algorithm can increase convergence rate and overcome the problem of sensitivity to initialization.
