Bearing Fault Diagnosis Based on Parameter Optimized VMD and ELM with Improved SSA by Yang Sen, Wang Hengdi, Cui Yongcun, Li Chang, Tang Yuanchao

“…Aiming at the problem that the initial fault signal of rolling bearings is weak and the fault characteristic is difficult to extract, this study proposes a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on variational modal decomposition (VMD) for adaptive parameter optimization based on the improved sparrow search algorithm (SSA) and the extreme learning machine (ELM) with multi-layer feature vector fusion. Firstly, the optimization step size of SSA is adaptively changed according to the fittness function value and the number of iterations. …”
