Abstract: | As the result of vibration emission in air, a machine sound signal carries important information about the working condition
of machinery. But in practice, the sound signal is typically received with a very low signal-to-noise ratio. To obtain features
of the original sound signal, uncorrelated sound signals must be removed and the wavelet coefficients related to fault condition
must be retrieved. In this paper, the blind source separation technique is used to recover the wavelet coefficients of a monitored
source from complex observed signals. Since in the proposed blind source separation (BSS) algorithms it is generally assumed
that the number of sources is known, the Gerschgorin disk estimator method is introduced to determine the number of sound
sources before applying the BSS method. This method can estimate the number of sound sources under non-Gaussian and non-white
noise conditions. Then, the partial singular value analysis method is used to select these significant observations for BSS
analysis. This method ensures that signals are separated with the smallest distortion. Afterwards, the time-frequency separation
algorithm, converted to a suitable BSS algorithm for the separation of a non-stationary signal, is introduced. The transfer
channel between observations and sources and the wavelet coefficients of the source signals can be blindly identified via
this algorithm. The reconstructed wavelet coefficients can be used for diagnosis. Finally, the separation results obtained
from the observed signals recorded in a semi-anechoic chamber demonstrate the effectiveness of the presented methods . |
