To solve the problem that the time-frequency analysis method Wigner-Vile spectrum (WVS) could not extract the fault feature effectively when the impulsion characteristic fault signal of rolling element bearing is buried by strong background noise
the cyclic spectral density Wigner-Vile spectrum (CSDWVS) time-frequency method was proposed based on the property of cyclostationarity of the bearing’ fault signal by combing the cyclic spectral density (CSD) based on second order cyclostationarity statistics with the WVS. Through the verification of simulation and test
the proposed method had the much more noise-resistant advantages than traditional WV method
and it could extract the inner race fault characteristic frequency of 51.9 Hz and the outer race fault characteristic frequency of 32.1 Hz correctly.
