Abstract: In view of the nonlinear, non-stationary and strong interference characteristics of rolling bearing vibration signals in strong noise environment, which leads to difficulty of fault feature extraction and low accuracy of fault diagnosis, this paper proposes a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method on the basis of combination of variational mode decomposition (VMD)-multi-scale permutation entropy (MPE)- kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) and multi-class relevant vector machine (MRVM). In this method, high-dimensional fault features of rolling bearing vibration signals are extracted first by VMD-MPE, and then the extracted fault features are visually reduced dimensionally by KPCA. Finally, the dimensionally-reduced fault features are input into MRVM which can realize different sample probability output for rolling bearing fault diagnosis. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by a set of rolling bearing fault data published by Western Reserve University in the United States. The results show that the proposed rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on “VMD-MPE-KPCA” feature extraction and MRVM may extract and identify rolling bearing fault features effectively. If compared with those fault diagnosis methods reported in related literature, the fault identification accuracy of the proposed hybrid intelligent fault diagnosis method reaches up to 99.18%.
