description Aiming to address the difficulty in extracting the early weak fault features of bearings under complex operating conditions, a fault diagnosis method is proposed based on the adaptive fusion of time-varying filtering empirical mode decomposition (TVF-EMD) modal components and singular value decomposition (SVD) noise reduction. First, the snake optimization (SO) technique is used to optimize the TVF-EMD algorithm in order to determine the optimal parameters that match the input signal. Then, the bearing signal is divided into a number of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) using TVF-EMD in order to reduce the nonlinearity and non-stationary characteristics of the fault signal. An index for the envelope fault information energy ratio (EFIER) is created to overcome the drawback of there being too many IMF components after TVF-EMD decomposition. The IMF components are ranked in descending order according to the EFIER, and they are fused according to the maximum principle of the energy ratio of envelope fault information until the optimal fusion component is determined. Finally, the fault feature is extracted when the optimal fusion component is denoised using SVD. Two measured bearing fault signals and simulation signals are used to validate the performance of the proposed method. The experimental findings demonstrate that the approach has good sensitive feature screening, fusion, and noise reduction capabilities. The proposed method can more precisely extract the early fault features of bearings and accurately identify fault types.
