Feature Extraction Technology for Rolling Bearings Based on Local Tangent Space Alignment

摘要

Health assessment and fault diagnosis for rolling bearings mostly adopt traditional methods, such as time-frequency, spectral, and wavelet packet analyses, to extract the feature vector. These methods are suitable for processing data with a linear structure. However, for the non-linear and non-stationary signal, the result of these methods is not ideal. Thus, this study proposes a suitable method to extract the feature vector in nonlinear signals. Local tangent space alignment of a manifold algorithm is employed to extract the feature vector from the rolling bearings. Results verify the advantage of the manifold algorithm for non-linear and non-stationary signals.
