Rolling Bearings Fault Diagnosis under Variable Speed Conditions Based on Multitime-Frequency Ridge Extraction by Qing Xiong, Yixuan Li, Xiaoli Qiu, Dong Yu, Weihua Zhang, Qingze Chen

“…The frequency ratio of each ridge to the additional ridge, the average value of the ratio, and the variance of the ratio are calculated, respectively, and finally, the matching degree between the average ratio and the fault feature coefficient is compared with the diagnosis of the bearing fault. The simulation and experimental results show that the FPOMRE method can effectively diagnose the bearing fault under constant speed and variable speed conditions, and the extraction accuracy of time-frequency ridges under constant speed is higher than that under variable speed, and the extraction accuracy under high speed is higher than that under low speed. …”
