An optimal global projection denoising algorithm and its application to shaft orbit purification

Noise reduction is a main step in fault diagnosis of the rotating machinery. However, it is not effective enough to purify the nonlinear fault features from the vibration shaft orbits using the traditional signal denoising techniques. This article improved the global projection denoising algorithm via calculating the optimal time delay τ and embedding dimension m, which can be regarded as an extension of the global phase space reconstruction. The de-noising effects of Lorenz signal and the experiment cases illustrated the optimal global projection method is very effective and reliable in reducing the noise and reconstructing the signals. Consequently, it is heavily recommended for use in fault diagnosis of large rotating machinery as well as in the other kinds of machinery.
