The health condition of rolling bearing possesses a significant impact on the safety and efficiency of rotating machinery. Accordingly, to diagnose the faults in rolling bearings effectively and accurately, a novel hybrid approach coupling variational mode decomposition (VMD), composite multiscale fine-sorted dispersion entropy (CMFSDE) and support vector machine (SVM) optimized by mutation sine cosine algorithm and Harris hawks optimization (MSCAHHO) is proposed in the paper. Firstly, VMD is employed to decompose raw vibration signals with various fault types into different sets of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) to weaken the non-stationarity of signals, before which the parameter K of VMD is decided through central frequency observation method. Subsequently, CMFSDE is put forward in this paper to analyze the complexity of fault signals by fully considering the relationship between neighboring elements based on composite multiscale technique, with which the representative features of different fault samples are extracted to construct feature vectors. Later, an enhanced hybrid optimization approach called MSCAHHO is proposed by integrating sine cosine algorithm (SCA) and a periodic mutation strategy to improve Harris hawks optimization (HHO). Then, MSCAHHO is employed to optimize the parameters of SVM, after which the optimal SVM model is utilized for fault classification. Finally, the performance of the proposed methodology is evaluated with four validity indices through comparative experiments. The experimental results reveal that the proposed VMD-CMFSDE-MSCAHHO-SVM method achieves favorable diagnosis results comparing with other relevant methods.
