Abstract – A time-frequency analysis method based on improved variational mode decomposition and
Teager energy operator (IVMD-TEO) is proposed for bearing fault diagnosis. The variational mode
decomposition (VMD), it is an intrinsic, adaptive and quasi-orthogonal decomposition method, which can
be applied to non-linear and non-stationary signal, VMD solve mode-mixing problem in decomposition
result and has high precision and noise robustness. To determine the number of intrinsic mode function
(IMF) adaptively, VMD is improved using the correlation coefficient criterion. Firstly, IVMD algorithm
is used to decompose a multicomponent signal into a number of IMFS adaptively. Second, all the
monocomponent signals’ instantaneous amplitude and instantaneous frequency are demodulated via TEO,
respectively, because TEO has fast and high precision demodulation advantages to monocomponent
signal. Finally, the time-frequency representation of original signal is exhibited by superposing the time-
frequency representations of all the monocomponents. The analysis results of simulation signal and public
online dataset for bearing vibration data (Ottawa, Canada) demonstrate that the proposed method has
perfect multicomponent signal decomposition capacity and good time-frequency expression. It is a
promising time-frequency analysis method for rotor fault diagnosis.
