A New Piecewise Nonlinear Asymmetry Bistable Stochastic Resonance Model for Weak Fault Extraction
Li Cui, Wuzhen Xu
Abstract
In order to solve output saturation problems found in traditional stochastic resonance methods and to improve the diagnosis ability of weak faults, a new piecewise nonlinear asymmetric bistable stochastic resonance (PNABSR) method is proposed. This model uses a left and right potential function with an asymmetrical shape, which makes it easier to induce stochastic resonance phenomena. Based on the PNABSR model, the expression of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is derived, and the changes in the SNR with different parameters in the PNABSR model are analyzed. Then, the parameters in the PNABSR model are optimized using the adaptive intelligent algorithm to enhance the diagnostic ability. The diagnosis properties of the weak fault are compared between the PNABSR model and the classical bistable stochastic resonance model (CBSR). The experimental results prove that the PNABSR model can effectively extract the weak fault characteristic frequency under a strong noise background, verifying the effectiveness of this method.
