Fault Diagnosis of Planetary Gear Based on Fuzzy Entropy of CEEMDAN and MLP Neural Network by Using Vibration Signal

Abstract

A method of planetary gear fault diagnosis based on the fuzzy entropy of complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) and multi-layer perceptron (MLP) neural network is proposed. The vibration signal is decomposed into multiple intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) by CEEMDAN, and the fuzzy entropy that combines the fuzzy function and sample entropy is proposed and used to extract the feature information contained in each IMF. The fuzzy entropies of each IMF are defined as the input of the MLP neural network, and the planetary gear status can be recognized by the output. The experiments prove the proposed method is effective.
