In order to extract the fault feature frequency of weak bearing signals, we put forward a local mean
decomposition (LMD) method combining with the second generation wavelet transform. After performing the
second generation wavelet denoising, the spline-based LMD is used to decompose the high-frequency detail signals
of the second generation wavelet signals into a number of production functions (PFs). Power spectrum analysis
is applied to the PFs to detect bearing fault information and identify the fault patterns. Application in inner and
outer race fault diagnosis of rolling bearing shows that the method can extract the vibration features of rolling
bearing fault. This method is suitable for extracting the fault characteristics of the weak fault signals in strong
noise.
