主　　题：Wheel polygonal wear Fault diagnosis Nonstationary condition Adaptive mode decomposition Time–frequency analysis 

摘      要：Wheel polygonal wear is a common and severe defect,which seriously threatens the running safety and reliability of a railway vehicle especially a *** to non-stationary running conditions(e.g.,traction and braking)of the locomotive,the passing frequencies of a polygonal wheel will exhibit time-varying behaviors,which makes it too difficult to effectively detect the wheel ***,most existing methods only achieve qualitative fault diagnosis and they cannot accurately identify defect *** address these issues,this paper reports a novel quantitative method for fault detection of wheel polygonization under non-stationary conditions based on a recently proposed adaptive chirp mode decomposition(ACMD)***,a coarse-to-fine method based on the time–frequency ridge detection and ACMD is developed to accurately estimate a time-varying gear meshing frequency and thus obtain a wheel rotating frequency from a vibration acceleration signal of a *** the rotating frequency is obtained,signal resampling and order analysis techniques are applied to an acceleration signal of an axle box to identify harmonic orders related to polygonal ***,the ACMD is combined with an inertial algorithm to estimate polygonal wear *** only a dynamics simulation but a field test was carried out to show that the proposed method can effectively detect both harmonic orders and their amplitudes of the wheel polygonization under non-stationary conditions.
