To identify the weak fault impulses from axle-box bearing vibration signals
high-order frequency-weighted energy operator(FWEO)is utili-ed to demodulate the fault signals and diagnose the fault. The FWEO improves demodulation robustness in interference environment by introducing the weight of the instantaneous frequency. The FWEO
however
is invalid to extract fault related information under heavy interference
therefore the high-order frequency-weighted energy operator(HFWEO)is adopted based on FWEO and higher-order derivative operation. This strategy improves the demodulation robustness by enhancing the weight of instantaneous frequency with high-order derivative operation; and the correlation kurtosis criterion is utili-ed to determine the appropriate order to guarantee that less noise is introduced with increasing order
and achieve reliable axle-box bearing fault diagnosis. The simulated and test signals are analy-ed by the proposed strategy and compared with the other tradition
