Aiming at the difficult problem of fault feature extraction for rolling bearings, a fault feature extraction method is proposed by comprehensively applying singular value decomposition (SVD), dung beetle optimisation algorithm (DBO) and variational modal decomposition (VMD). Firstly, the vibration signal is reconstructed into a matrix, and the SVD noise reduction order is set through the difference spectrum to complete the vibration signal preprocessing; secondly, the VMD parameters are optimised using the DBO, and the optimal modal number K decomposition signals are selected to obtain the IMFs components; lastly, the IMF components, which contain rich and sensitive fault information, are subjected to the Hilbert envelope spectral analysis in order to achieve the effective extraction of the fault frequencies. The results verified by the experimental dataset show that this method can more accurately extract the rolling bearing periodic collision features and identify the fault types, providing an effective means for the rolling bearing fault feature extraction method.
