Abstract

In this paper we propose one method for mechanical vibration signal analysis. The given mechanical vibration signal is firstly decomposed into several intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) by the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) method. The Hilbert transform of each IMF, calculated by a recently developed fast algorithm, is then implemented and the analytical signal corresponding to each IMF is obtained. After writing the analytical signal in polar coordinates, we do the refinement Fourier spectrum analysis for the phase function of every analytical signal. By comparing the behavior of these analytical signals, which correspond to different IMFs, in the frequency domain with the characteristic frequency of the mechanical system, we distinguish the IMFs which contain the effective information from the IMFs which consist of noise in the original signal. Numerical results show that the combination of the Hilbert transform and the Fourier analysis works well for practical signals.
