Applications of genetic programming (GP) include many areas. However applications of GP in the area of machine condition monitoring and diagnostics is very recent and yet to be fully exploited. In this paper, a study is presented to show the performance of machine fault detection using GP. The time domain vibration signals of a rotating machine with normal and defective gears are processed for feature extraction. The extracted features from original and preprocessed signals are used as inputs to GP for two class (normal or fault) recognition. The number of features and the features are automatically selected in GP maximizing the classification success. The results of fault detection are compared with genetic algorithm (GA) based artificial neural network (ANN)- termed here as GA-ANN. The number of hidden nodes in the ANN and the selection of input features are optimized using GAs. Two different normalization schemes for the features have been used. For each trial, the GP and GA-ANN are trained with a subset of the experimental data for known machine conditions. The trained GP and GA-ANN are tested using the remaining set of data. The procedure is illustrated using the experimental vibration data of a gearbox. The results compare the effectiveness of both types of classifiers with GP and GA based selection of features.

The fault-induced impulses with uneven amplitudes and durations are always accompanied with amplitude modulation and (or) frequency modulation, which leads to that the acquired vibration/acoustic signals for rotating machine fault diagnosis always present nonlinear and nonstationary properties. Such an effect affects precise fault detection, especially when the impulses are submerged in heavy background noise. To address this issue, a nonstationary weak signal detection strategy is proposed based on a time-delayed feedback stochastic resonance (TFSR) model. The TFSR is a long-memory system that can utilize historical information to enhance the signal periodicity in the feedback process, and such an effect is beneficial to periodic signal detection. By selecting the proper parameters including time delay, feedback intensity, and calculation step in the regime of TFSR, the weak signal, the noise, and the potential can be matched with each other to an extreme, and consequently a regular output waveform with low-noise interference can be obtained with the assistant of the distinct band-pass filtering effect. Simulation study and experimental verification are performed to evaluate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed TFSR method in comparison with a traditional stochastic resonance (SR) method. The proposed method is suitable for detecting signals with strong nonlinear and nonstationary properties and (or) being subjected to heavy multiscale noise interference.

Machine fault detection has great practical significance. Compared with the detection method that requires external sensors, the detection of machine fault by sound signal does not need to destroy its structure. The current popular audio-based fault detection often needs a lot of learning data and complex learning process, and needs the support of known fault database. The fault detection method based on audio proposed in this paper only needs to ensure that the machine works normally in the first second. Through the correlation coefficient calculation, energy analysis, EMD and other methods to carry out time-frequency analysis of the subsequent collected sound signals, we can detect whether the machine has fault.

In the last decade, predictive maintenance has attracted a lot of attention in industrial factories because of its wide use of the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence algorithms for data management. However, in the early phases where the abnormal and faulty machines rarely appeared in factories, there were limited sets of machine fault samples. With limited fault samples, it is difficult to perform a training process for fault classification due to the imbalance of input data. Therefore, data augmentation was required to increase the accuracy of the learning model. However, there were limited methods to generate and evaluate the data applied for data analysis. In this paper, we introduce a method of using the generative adversarial network as the fault signal augmentation method to enrich the dataset. The enhanced data set could increase the accuracy of the machine fault detection model in the training process. We also performed fault detection using a variety of preprocessing approaches and classified the models to evaluate the similarities between the generated data and authentic data. The generated fault data has high similarity with the original data and it significantly improves the accuracy of the model. The accuracy of fault machine detection reaches 99.41% with 20% original fault machine data set and 93.1% with 0% original fault machine data set (only use generate data only). Based on this, we concluded that the generated data could be used to mix with original data and improve the model performance.
