The Novel Successive Variational Mode Decomposition and Weighted Regularized Extreme Learning Machine for Fault Diagnosis of Automobile Gearbox

Abstract

In order to improve the diagnosis accuracies of the current diagnosis methods, a novel fault diagnosis method of automobile gearbox based on novel successive variational mode decomposition and weighted regularized extreme learning machine is presented for fault diagnosis of gearbox in this paper. The novel successive variational mode decomposition (SVMD) is presented to improve the traditional variational mode decomposition, which finds modes one after the other, and this succession helps increase convergence rate and also not extract the unwanted modes; weighted regularized extreme learning machine (WRELM) is presented to improve the traditional extreme learning machine, which uses the weight of each sample with the nonparametric kernel density estimation and can find the optimal weight for each sample. The test results indicate that the diagnosis accuracy of SVMD-WRELM for gearbox is better than that of VMD-WRELM, VMD-ELM.
