2. Signature waveform and its spectrum:
Bearing and its nearby structure resonate.
Bearing signature is impulsive and low duty

Note: The signal energy is distributed over a
wide-band and can be easily masked by noise.

3. Kurtosis = is a statistical variable
that measures the overall impulsiveness
of the Signature (Bad bearing if Kurtosis>3)
In fact, all even moments (4th, 6th,) can be
used. Alternatively, odd moments of rectified
signal can be used as well.

High-pass filtering enveloping (e.g. short time energy)
Advantage:
Excellent immunity to noise
Disadvantage:
At early stage of damage, the amplitude
modulation effect may not be obvious.
At the final stage, when a number of rollers
strike defects all over the raceway, it also
looses its effectiveness. ( like driving on a
gravel road )

6. Short-time Signal Processing
Short-time energy:
It is a demodulation scheme. The squaring
emphasizes the larger amplitude, the convolution
with a window is a low-pass filtering, i.e.,
enveloping.
