ABSTRACT:
Aiming at the problem that ICA can only be confined to the condition that the number of observed signals is larger than the number of source signals; a single channel blind source separation method combining EEMD, PCA and RobustICA is proposed. Through the eemd decomposition of the single-channel mechanical vibration observation signal the multidimensional IMF components are obtained, and the principal component analysis (PCA) is performed on the matrix of these IMF components. The number of principal components is determined and a new matrix is generated to satisfy the overdetermined blind source separation conditions, the new matrix input RobustICA, to achieve the separation of the source signal. Finally, the isolated signals are respectively analyzed by the envelope spectrum, the fault frequency is extracted, and the fault type is judged according to the prior knowledge. The experiment was carried out by using the simulation signal and the mechanical signal. The results show that the algorithm is effective and can accurately diagnose the location of mechanical fault.
