TL;DR: Successful fault diagnosis of rolling element bearings under complicated operating conditions, including early bearing fault signals in run-to-failure test datasets, signals with impulsive noise and planet bearing signals, demonstrates that the proposed FIVMD is a superior approach in extracting weak bearing repetitive transients.

TL;DR: A new approach for the EMD based on the direct construction of the mean envelope of the signal is presented, achieved through the resolution of a quadratic programming problem with equality and inequality constraints.
Abstract: The empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is an algorithmic construction that aims at decomposing a signal into several modes called intrinsic mode functions. In this letter, we present a new approach for the EMD based on the direct construction of the mean envelope of the signal. The definition of the mean envelope is achieved through the resolution of a quadratic programming problem with equality and inequality constraints. Some numerical experiments conclude this letter, and comparisons are carried out with the classical EMD.

TL;DR: A multi-fault diagnosis method for rotating machinery based on orthogonal supervised linear local tangent space alignment (OSLLTSA) and least square support vector machine (LS-SVM) that achieves the combination of intrinsic structure information and class label information of dataset but also improves the discrimination of the low-dimensional fault features.

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental investigation on the applicability of the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) for identifying structural damage caused by a sudden change of structural stiffness is presented.
Abstract: This paper presents an experimental investigation on the applicability of the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) for identifying structural damage caused by a sudden change of structural stiffness. A three-story shear building model was constructed and installed on a shaking table with two springs horizontally connected to the first floor of the building to provide additional structural stiffness. Structural damage was simulated by suddenly releasing two pretensioned springs either simultaneously or successively. Various damage severities were produced using springs of different stiffness. A series of free vibration, random vibration, and earthquake simulation tests were performed on the building with sudden stiffness changes. Dynamic responses including floor accelerations and displacements, column strains, and spring releasing time instants were measured. The EMD was then applied to measured time histories to identify damage time instant and damage location for various test cases. The comparison of identified results with measured ones showed that damage time instants could be accurately detected in terms of damage spikes extracted directly from the measurement data by EMD. The damage location could be determined by the spatial distribution of the spikes along the building. The influence of damage severity, sampling frequency, and measured quantities on the performance of EMD for damage detection was also discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that nonperiodic solutions are ordinarily unstable with respect to small modifications, so that slightly differing initial states can evolve into considerably different states, and systems with bounded solutions are shown to possess bounded numerical solutions.
Abstract: Finite systems of deterministic ordinary nonlinear differential equations may be designed to represent forced dissipative hydrodynamic flow. Solutions of these equations can be identified with trajectories in phase space For those systems with bounded solutions, it is found that nonperiodic solutions are ordinarily unstable with respect to small modifications, so that slightly differing initial states can evolve into considerably different states. Systems with bounded solutions are shown to possess bounded numerical solutions.

TL;DR: A revised and expanded edition of this classic reference/text, covering the latest techniques for the analysis and measurement of stationary and nonstationary random data passing through physical systems, is presented in this article.
Abstract: From the Publisher:
A revised and expanded edition of this classic reference/text, covering the latest techniques for the analysis and measurement of stationary and nonstationary random data passing through physical systems. With more than 100,000 copies in print and six foreign translations, the first edition standardized the methodology in this field. This new edition covers all new procedures developed since 1971 and extends the application of random data analysis to aerospace and automotive research; digital data analysis; dynamic test programs; fluid turbulence analysis; industrial noise control; oceanographic data analysis; system identification problems; and many other fields. Includes new formulas for statistical error analysis of desired estimates, new examples and problem sets.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the representations of the noise currents given in Section 2.8 to derive some statistical properties of I(t) and its zeros and maxima.
Abstract: In this section we use the representations of the noise currents given in section 2.8 to derive some statistical properties of I(t). The first six sections are concerned with the probability distribution of I(t) and of its zeros and maxima. Sections 3.7 and 3.8 are concerned with the statistical properties of the envelope of I(t). Fluctuations of integrals involving I2(t) are discussed in section 3.9. The probability distribution of a sine wave plus a noise current is given in 3.10 and in 3.11 an alternative method of deriving the results of Part III is mentioned. Prof. Uhlenbeck has pointed out that much of the material in this Part is closely connected with the theory of Markoff processes. Also S. Chandrasekhar has written a review of a class of physical problems which is related, in a general way, to the present subject.22
