Kurtosis has been widely used to measure peakedness and to detect machine faults featuring impulsive signals. However, the kurtosis metric is susceptible to outliers caused by random events. One or a few outliers in the signal can lead to large increase in the kurtosis value. Such increase in the kurtosis value will propagate and further escalate afterwards, which can mislead the diagnosis process. This paper reports an L-kurtosis approach to impulsive fault feature detection for rotating machines. The L-kurtosis can effectively capture impulses but is robust to outliers. The L-kurtosis values of the Gaussian noise and the sinusoidal interfering signal are unique and can be used to discern the target fault signature, noise and unwanted interfering signal components. Both simulation and experimental analyses have demonstrated that the L-kurtosis measure can identify the effective frequency band to obtain the preferred envelope spectrum for bearing fault detection and is more robust than the conventional kurtosis metric in handling data with outliers.
