Summary: | Vibration analysis is one of the main effective ways for rolling bearing fault diagnosis, and a challenge is how to accurately separate the inner and outer race fault features from noisy compound faults signals. Therefore, a novel compound fault separation algorithm based on parallel dual-Q-factors and improved maximum correlation kurtosis deconvolution (IMCKD) is proposed. First, the compound fault signal is sparse-decomposed by the parallel dual-Q-factor, and the low-resonance components of the signal (compound fault impact component and small amount of noise) are obtained, but it can only highlight the impact of compound faults, and failed to separate the inner and outer race compound fault signal. Then, the MCKD is improved (IMCKD) by optimizing the selection of parameters (the shift order M and the filter length L) based on the iterative calculation method with the Teager envelope spectral kurtosis (TEK) index. Finally, after the composite fault signal is filtered and de-noised by the proposed method, the inner and outer race fault signals are obtained respectively. The fault characteristic frequency is consistent with the theoretical calculation value. The results show that the proposed method can efficiently separate the mixed fault information and avoid the mutual interference between the components of the compound fault.
