GSWOA is integrated to optimize VMD decomposition, significantly suppressing background noise and providing high-quality input for reliable feature extraction and fault diagnosis.
An improved refined composite multiscale entropy (IRCMSE) method is proposed to accurately extract and distinguish diverse gear fault features, enhancing both diagnostic precision and stability.
The proposed method demonstrates strong noise robustness and generalization across variable-speed and variable-load conditions, validated on both public and real-world datasets.
Wind turbine gearboxes operate under alternating loads and complex noise, resulting in vibration signals characterized by strong interference, nonlinearity, and non-stationarity—factors that complicate fault diagnosis. To address this, a novel method is proposed that combines a gravitational search-enhanced whale optimization algorithm (GSWOA) with variational mode decomposition (VMD) and improved refined composite multiscale sample entropy (IRCMSE). GSWOA adaptively tunes VMD parameters, enhancing decomposition and reducing mode mixing and edge effects. IRCMSE, derived via enhanced coarse-graining, boosts sensitivity to weak fault signatures across multiple time scales. Extracted features are processed by a CNN-BiLSTM model that merges spatial and temporal learning for accurate fault classification. Experimental validation on the WFD-1000 platform confirms superior performance in signal reconstruction, feature separation, and fault identification, supporting the method’s suitability for intelligent diagnostics under complex conditions.
