To evaluate the performance of this new method, this paper investigates the effect of two parameters pertinent to EEMD: the amplitude of added white noise and the number of ensemble trials. A test signal with mode mixing that mimics realistic bearing vibration signals measured on a bearing test bed was developed to enable quantitative evaluation of the EEMD and provide guidance on how to choose the two parameters appropriately for bearing signal decomposition. Subsequently, a modified EEMD (MEEMD) method is proposed to reduce the computational cost of the original EEMD method as well as improving its performance. Numerical evaluation and systematic study using vibration data measured on an experimental bearing test bed verified the effectiveness and computational efficiency of the proposed MEEMD method for bearing defect diagnosis. 1. Introduction In recent years, time–frequency and time-scale analysis techniques such as short time Fourier transform (STFT) [1] and wavelet transform [2, 3] have been increasingly investigated for non-stationary and/or nonlinear signal processing in machine health diagnosis. These techniques, while having shown to be successful in various applications, are non-adaptive in nature. As a result, once the window type or a base wavelet has been chosen, the analysis function remains the same during the subsequent signal decomposition process. In comparison, the Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT) [4,5] decomposes a signal into a set of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) through the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) process, thus only involving the signal being analyzed itself instead of requiring an analysis function to be convoluted with. As a
