Data-Driven Iterative Vibration Signal Enhancement Strategy Using Alpha Stable Distribution

الملخص EN

The authors propose a novel procedure for enhancement of the signal to noise ratio in vibration data acquired from machines working in mining industry environment.

Proposed method allows performing data-driven reduction of the deterministic, high energy, and low frequency components.

Furthermore, it provides a way to enhance signal of interest.

Procedure incorporates application of the time-frequency decomposition, α-stable distribution based signal modeling, and stability parameter in the time domain as a stoppage criterion for iterative part of the procedure.

An advantage of the proposed algorithm is data-driven, automative detection of the informative frequency band as well as band with high energy due to the properties of the used distribution.

Furthermore, there is no need to have knowledge regarding kinematics, speed, and so on.

The proposed algorithm is applied towards real data acquired from the belt conveyor pulley drive’s gearbox.
