Abstract: Addressing the insufficient capability of Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) in extracting high-frequency features of idler bearing faults, a novel fault diagnosis method for idler bearings based on Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient and inverse-Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC-IMFCC) hybrid cepstral coefficients and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks was proposed. Firstly, the acoustic signals of idler under three states were analyzed, revealing that the bearing fault information mainly resided in the mid-to-high-frequency range. Then, to effectively retain high-frequency information, MFCC-IMFCC were extracted and combined in a frame-level concatenation to form hybrid cepstral features. Finally, the hybrid cepstral features were input into a two-layer LSTM model for training, establishing a diagnostic model for idler bearing faults. The research results indicate that, for normal state, rolling element fault state, and eccentric rotation fault state, the average recognition accuracy of LSTM combined with hybrid cepstral features reaches 96.72%. Comparing to using individual MFCC and IMFCC features, the accuracy is improved by 3.94% and 7.41%, highlighting the significant advantage of hybrid cepstral features in representing information about idler bearing faults.
