The reconstruction based on the singular value decomposition can effectively separate and suppress random noise components in monitoring signals
but its performance is limited by the construction of trajectory matrixes and effective component evaluation and selection. To solve this problem
an adaptive sum singular value pair (SSVP) optimization framework based on the min mutual information (MMI) is proposed and applied to the feature extraction of machine tool bearing fault signals. Firstly
singular value and singular value vector are calculated with the anti-angular average method
and singular value pairs (SVP) are obtained with the characterization ability of the SVP of sub-signal energy. Then
the optimal reconstructed components are obtained adaptively based on the MMI index
avoiding over-noise reduction or under-noise reduction. Meanwhile
the singular value ratio indexes of MMI are combined to determine the number of optimal decomposition dimensions of the Hankel matrix. Finally
the validity of the MMI-SSVP method is verified with the data of the faulty bearings of a spindle and the feeding system of a machining center in an industrial site respectively.
