Abstract

Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) Spectrum is analyzed, and is compared with Wigner-Ville distribution(WVD). And it is proposed a method that is “band pass filtering --signal purification and reconstruction --HHT spectrum analyses” method to carry on the state recognition and fault diagnosis of the mechanical equipment. The compared signals include: the signals of harmonic, amplitude modulation and frequency modulation, and the mixed signals that are composed of these single signal, then it is pointed out: HHT Spectrum have higher frequency resolution than WVD, and it has overcome the latter influence of cross-term interference. At last, real signals of fault gear are analyzed by this method, and it is indicated that the method can offer a new and effective method for fault diagnosis and condition monitoring.
