A novel intelligent identification approach based on modified hierarchical diversity entropy and extension theory for diagnosis of rotating machinery faults

Aiming at the troubles of difficult extraction of fault features and low fault recognition rate in rotating equipment fault detection approach, a new technique for intelligent diagnosis based on modified hierarchical diversity entropy (MHDE) and extension theory (ET) is proposed in the thesis. Firstly, MHDEemploys to comprehensively describe the fault information of the given signals. Secondly, the MHDE feature sets are regarded as the characteristic parameters of the extension matter element model, and the matter element model in various states is established. Finally, the testing datasets are fed into the matter element model for each operating conditions, and the correlation function is used to compute the comprehensive correlation between the testing datasets and the various conditions of the rotating machinery, so as to realize the qualitative and quantitative identification of the testing datasets. The reliability and superiority of the proposed new approach is validated by real experimental datasets on various rotating machinery types. The analysis results show that the proposed novel technology can effectively excavate the feature information and accurately identify various fault conditions of rotating machinery. In addition, compared with other combined model technology in the paper, the proposed intelligent fault diagnosis technology has better classification performance.
