Abstract

This paper presents a hybrid signal processing approach combining the wavelet transform and spectral analysis. A new approach to selecting a mother wavelet for decomposition of vibration signals was demonstrated. Subsequently, the best-suited decomposition scale was selected based on the energy content of the wavelet coefficients. Subsequently, the envelope spectrum of the wavelet coefficients at the best-suited decomposition scale was used to identify the defect and its location. Experimental analysis of signals from a defect-seeded bearing has shown that the developed approach is more efficient than the conventional spectral analysis techniques.
