Vibration-condition monitoring aims to detect bearing damages of rotating machinery’s incipient failures mainly through time–frequency methods because of their efficient analysis of nonstationary signals. However, by having failures with impulse behavior, short-term events have a tendency to be diluted under variable-speed conditions, while information on frequency changes tends to be lost. Here, we introduce an approach to highlighting bearing impulsive failures by measuring short-term spectral components to deal with variable-speed vibrations. The short-term estimator employs two sliding windows: a small one that measures the instantaneous amplitude level and tracks impulsive components and a large interval that evaluates the average background amplitude. Aiming to characterize cyclo-non-stationary processes with impulsive behavior, the emphasizing high-order-based estimator based on the principle of spectral entropy is introduced. For evaluation, both visual inspection and classifier performance are assessed, contrasting the spectral-entropy estimator with the widely used spectral-kurtosis approach for dealing with impulsive signals. The validation of short-time/-angle spectral analysis performed on three datasets at variable speed showed that the proposed spectral-entropy estimator is a promising indicator for emphasizing bearing failures with impulse behavior.
