The rolling bearing is an important part of mechanical equipment, and its performance significantly affects the quality and life of the mechanical equipment. This article uses the integrated fiber Bragg grating resonant structure sensor excited by periodic micro-shocks caused by micro faults to realize the extraction of information relating to potential faults. Because the fault signal is weak and can easily be interfered with by ambient noise, in order to extract the effective signal, this article determines the autoregressive model of bearing vibration by the final prediction error criterion and the recursive least squares estimation algorithm. The augmented state space model is established based on the autoregressive model. A Kalman filter is used to reduce the noise interference, and then the reduction noisy signal is analyzed by power spectrum and improved autocorrelation envelope spectrum to realize the detection of bearing faults. Through data analysis and method comparison, the proposed improved autocorrelation envelope spectrum analysis can directly extract the bearing fault frequency, which is superior to other methods such as cepstral analysis.
