Ensemble difference mode decomposition based on transmission path elimination technology for rotating machinery fault diagnosis Mech. Syst. Signal Process. (IF 8.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-13 Jianchun Guo, Yi Liu, Ronggang Yang, Weifang Sun, Jiawei Xiang
Difference mode decomposition (DMD) is an effective technique for accurately separating a signal into fault, natural, and noise components. However, DMD relies on the assumption that noise spectral lines have zero amplitude, making it less effective in cases with a low signal-to-noise ratio. In practical scenarios, signals from bearing faults are often weak and can get buried under strong noise due
