In this paper, a novel bearing fault diagnosis approach based on pseudo fourth-order moment is proposed and verified. Based on the wavelet decomposition of different vibration signals, the pseudo fourth-order moment is calculated, and a new fault feature-the feature angle is proposed. Feature angle between these pseudo fourth-order moments is obtained, and corresponding working condition maybe characterized by this feature angle. The ranges of these feature angles are determined by simulation experiments with a large amount of data. An assessment index (namely selection index of optimal data size) is constructed to select the optimal amount of computational data. Meanwhile, extreme learning machine (ELM) model is established to classify different working conditions. According to the ELM model obtained from training data, the accuracy of test data classification reaches 95.42%, which proves the effectiveness of present bearing fault diagnosis method.
