this paper proposed a new method of directly extracting the image text features from scalogram of continuous wavelet transform of rotor faults signals.Firstly
the rotor fault experimental rig was used to simulate unbalance
misalignment
rubbing and oil whirling faults
and faults samples were obtained;secondly
the scalograms of typical faults was analyzed
and the sensitivity of digital features of scalograms to faults was studied;finally
the integrated back propagation(BP) neural network was used to carry out the diagnosis based on digital features of scalogram.The results fully show the effectivity of the new digital features of scalogram put forward in this paper.
