Two-dimensional quad-stable Gaussian potential stochastic resonance model for enhanced bearing fault diagnosis

In this study, a two-dimensional quad-stable Gaussian potential stochastic resonance model is explored for the first time. First, the structure of the proposed model is analyzed to have a broader potential field and verified to break through the severe output saturation inherent in the classical two-dimensional quad-stable stochastic resonance model. Then, we analyze the relationship between the structure and parameters of the model and derive the steady-state probability density and the mean first-passage time using adiabatic approximation theory to describe the specific process of the Brownian particle transitions. By combining the adiabatic approximation theory and the probability flow equation, the spectral amplification factor of the model is derived, and the effects of different parameters on the model performance are investigated. Further, a fourth-order Runge-Kutta algorithm was applied to evaluate the model performance in multiple dimensions. Finally, the model parameters were optimized using an adaptive genetic algorithm and applied to complex practical engineering detection. The experimental results show that the proposed model is superior and universal in fault diagnosis. Overall, this study provides important mathematical support for solving various engineering problems and demonstrates a wide range of practical applications. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
