Fault Identification of Low-Speed Hub Bearing of Crane Based on MBMD and BP Neural Network by Li-Hong Guo, Lai-Ming Yang, Yan-Feng Peng, Yong Guo

“…The main idea of the broadband mode decomposition (BMD) method previously proposed is to search in the association dictionary library containing broadband and narrowband signals. However, when it is applied to the broadband signals interfered by strong noise, the decomposition is easy to produce modal confusion, so the modulated broadband mode decomposition (MBMD) method is proposed. …”
