Abstract

Rolling bearings are often in a state of high-speed operation, making them highly susceptible to failure. To address this issue, the WOA-VMD-YOLOv8 fault diagnosis model was designed by combining the advantages of Whale optimization algorithm (WOA), variational mode decomposition (VMD) and YOLOv8. The bearing vibration signals collected by Case Western Reserve University were used as experimental data. WOA was applied to optimize the VMD parameters, and the time-frequency diagrams of the WOA-VMD output signals were used as the dataset for YOLOv8. The experimental results show that, compared to the Wavelet Transform(WT)-YOLOv8, the WOA-VMD-YOLOv8 achieves better predictive performance for bearing faults, with Recall rate of 99.7%, mAP@0.5 of 99.5%, and mAP@0.5-0.95 of 99.4%. Therefore, the WOA-VMDYOLOv8 demonstrates practical value in bearing fault detection technology.
