Abstract: Aiming at simultaneously multi-channel signal filtering and multiple faults diagnosis of the roller bearings, a novel multi-channel signal denoising technique is proposed based on tensor factorization. The original vibration signals are first formulated as a 3-way tensor via temporal signal, frequency and channel in a high dimensional space. The tensor model is factorized using Tucker-3 decomposition. Then, key parameters used in the truncated HOSVD are obtained according to the L-curve criterion. Finally, tensor model is solved by those selected truncated parameters, while target tensor is reconstructed by inverse transformation. The performance of the developed technique in detecting faults of roller bearings has been thoroughly evaluated through simulation signals. The presented approach is then applied to reduce noise in vibration signal collected on bearing test-rigs. Experimental results showed that the feasibility and validity of the proposed method in multiple faults detection of the bearings. Multidimensional signal filtering based on tensor will broaden the view in dealing with heterogeneous and multiaspect data in an age of big data.
