Compound Fault Feature Extraction of Gearbox with Improved Dual-tree Complex Wavelet Transform by Meitao Ye, Huili Chai

“…The obtained sub-bands are subjected to frequency removal, the sub-band FFT is used to determine the main frequency and its notch filtering is performed to ensure that the frequency aliasing is eliminated, so that each sub-band only contains a unique characteristic frequency. Then using the proposed method and the methods such as Variational Mode Decomposition, the noise-containing simulation signals are decomposed and compared to verify the feasibility of the proposed method. …”
