Time‐Delayed Feedback Tristable Stochastic Resonance Weak Fault Diagnosis Method and Its Application

Pulses caused by rotating mechanical faults are weak and often submerged in strong background noise, which can affect the accuracy of fault detection. To solve this problem, we study the stochastic resonance phenomenon of a tristable potential system based on strong noise background and also investigate the influence of time‐delayed feedback on this stochastic resonance model. The effects of time‐delayed feedback strength on potential energy, steady‐state probability density function, and signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) are discussed. The results show that stochastic resonance can be enhanced or suppressed by adjusting the delay time and feedback strength. Combined with bearing fault diagnosis simulation research and experimental verification evaluation, the proposed time‐delayed feedback tristable stochastic resonance fault diagnosis method is more effective than the classical stochastic resonance method.
