Rotating machinery has a complicated structure and interaction of multiple components, which usually results in coupling faults with complex dynamic characteristics. Fault diagnosis methods based on vibration signals have been widely used, however, these methods are intricate when identifying coupling faults, especially in the situation where coupling faults share similar patterns. As a noncontact and nonintrusive temperature-measuring technique, methods by infrared images can recognize multiple faults through temperature variations; however, it is not effective if the faults are temperature-insensitive. In this paper, an improved machinery fault diagnosis technique based on information fusion of infrared images and vibration signals is studied, to have better utilization of multisource sensors and to solve the problems when one single type of data is separately used. Firstly, data enhancement for infrared images and data visualization for vibration are performed on the dataset by using the principle of graphics and Short-Term Fourier Transform, which increases the diversity of the dataset and enhances the generalization ability of the model. Then, a multichannel convolution neural network-based method is constructed to achieve data-level information fusion and improve the fault diagnosis accuracy. The effectiveness of the presented method is validated by the experimental studies on a rotor test stand, the results illustrate that the coupling faults can be effectively identified by the information fusion method, and the fault diagnosis accuracy is higher in comparison with the method by a signal from single-source sensors.

Abstract Considering the vibration signals are easily contaminated by the strong and highly non-stationary noise, extracting more sensitive and effective features from the noised vibration signals is still a great challenge for intelligent fault diagnosis of rotating machinery. This paper proposed a multiscale kernel-based network with improved attention mechanism (IA-MKNet) to overcome this challenge. In the proposed method, an improved attention mechanism (IAM) for multiscale convolution is firstly developed to adaptively extract the meaningful fault features and automatically suppress noise. Then, due to the inherent multiple time characteristics of vibration signals, an adaptive multiscale kernel-based residual block (AMKRB) with IAM is designed to capture fault features in multi-time scales of vibration signals. Finally, a combination strategy based on an adaptive ensemble learner is proposed to increase the diversity of features by fusing the outputs of multiple IA-MKNets, which further improves diagnosis accuracy and stability. The experimental results, verified by two bearing datasets with noise interference, confirm that the proposed method improves the fault diagnosis accuracy of rotating machinery under noisy environment, which performance is superior to the other five benchmark methods.

Diagnosis Model

To achieve a more desirable fault diagnosis accuracy by applying multi-domain features of vibration signals, it is significative and challenging to refine the most representative and intrinsic feature components from the original high dimensional feature space. A novel dimensionality reduction method for fault diagnosis is proposed based on local Fisher discriminant analysis (LFDA) which takes both label information and local geometric structure of the high dimensional features into consideration. Multi-kernel trick is introduced into the LFDA to improve its performance in dealing with the nonlinearity of mapping high dimensional feature space into a lower one. To obtain an optimal diagnosis accuracy by the reduced features of low dimensionality, binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO) algorithm is utilized to search for the most appropriate parameters of kernels and K-nearest neighbor (kNN) recognition model. Samples with labels are used to train the optimal multi-kernel LFDA and kNN (OMKLFDA-kNN) fault diagnosis model to obtain the optimal transformation matrix. Consequently, the trained fault diagnosis model implements the recognition of machinery health condition with the most representative feature space of vibration signals. A bearing fault diagnosis experiment is conducted to verify the effectiveness of proposed diagnostic approach. Performance comparison with some other methods are investigated, and the improvement for fault diagnosis of the proposed method are confirmed in different aspects.

Abstract Impulsive acoustic and vibration signals within rotating machinery are often induced by irregular impacting. Thus the detection of these impulses can be useful for fault diagnosis. Recently there is an increasing trend towards the use of higher order statistics for fault detection within mechanical systems based on the observation that impulsive signals tend to increase the kurtosis values. We show that the fourth order Wigner Moment Spectrum, called the Wigner Trispectrum, has superior detection performance to second order Wigner distribution for typical impulsive signals found in a condition monitoring application. These methods are also applied to data sets measured within a car engine and industrial gearbox.

Abstract The reliability and safety of aero-engine are often the decisive factors for the safe and reliable flight of commercial aircraft. Hence, the vibration source location and fault diagnosis of aero-engine are of prime importance to detect faults and carry out fast and effective maintenance in time. However, the vibration signals collected by the sensors arranged on the casing of the aero-engine are generally the mixed signals of the main vibration sources inside the engine, and the components are extremely complicated. Therefore, the vibration source identification is a big challenge for a fault diagnosis and health management of the engine. In order to separate the key vibration sources of rotating machinery such as aero-engine, a Joint Wavelet Transform and Time Synchronous Averaging based algorithm (JWTS) is proposed in this paper. Based on the fact that the fundamental frequency and its harmonic and sub-harmonic components are generally included in the vibration spectrum of shaft fault signal of rotating machinery, wavelet transform and time synchronous averaging algorithm are combined to extract them. The algorithm completes separating the main vibration sources with three steps. First, the source number and fundamental frequency of each source are estimated using the wavelet transform. Second, every source is extracted from each observed signal by the time synchronous averaging method. Time synchronous averaging method can effectively extract a signal of cycle and harmonic rotor components and can suppress noise. Third, the optimal estimation of each source is determined according to signal’s 2-norm. Since the extracted source with a larger energy is closer to the real source, and signal’s 2-norm is a good indicator of the signal energy. Hence, the key vibration sources related to rotary speeds of the engine are obtained separately. The method is verified by synthetic mixed signals first. Three periodic signals of different frequencies are used to simulate the vibration sources of the aeroengine. The fundamental, harmonic and sub-harmonic components of them, as well as Gaussian white noise, are randomly mixed. The results show that the JWTS algorithm can estimate the number of the main sources and can extract each source effectively. Then the method is demonstrated using vibration signals of a real aero-engine. The results indicate that the proposed JWTS method has extracted and located the main sources within the aero-engine, including sources from the low-pressure rotor, high-pressure rotor, combustion chamber and accessory. Therefore, the proposed method provides a new fault diagnosis technology for rotating machinery, especially for a real aero-engine.

In actual engineering applications, inevitable noise seriously affects the accuracy of fault diagnosis for rotating machinery. To effectively identify the fault classes of rotating machinery under noise interference, an efficient fault diagnosis method without additional denoising procedures is proposed. First, a one-dimensional deep residual shrinkage network, which directly takes the raw vibration signals contaminated by noise as input, is developed to realize end-to-end fault diagnosis. Then, to further enhance the noise immunity of the diagnosis model, the first layer of the model is set to a wide convolution layer to extract short time features. Moreover, an adaptive batch normalization algorithm (AdaBN) is introduced into the diagnosis model to enhance the adaptability to noise. Experimental results illustrate that the fault diagnosis model for rotating machinery based on one-dimensional deep residual shrinkage network with a wide convolution layer (1D-WDRSN) can accurately identify the fault classes even under noise interference.

This study proposes a symmetrized dot pattern (SDP) characteristic information fusion-based convolutional neural network (CNN) fault diagnosis method to resolve issues of high complexity, nonlinearity, and instability in original rotor vibration signals. The method was used to conduct information fusion of real modal components of vibration signals and SDP image identification using CNN in order to achieve vibration fault diagnosis. Compared with other graphic processing methods, the proposed method more fully expressed the characteristics of different vibration signals and thus presented variations between different vibration states in a simpler and more intuitive way. The proposed method was experimentally investigated using simulation signals and rotor test-rig signals, and its validity and advancements were demonstrated using experimental analysis. By using CNN through deep learning to adaptively extract SDP characteristic information, vibration fault identification was ultimately realized.

Faults Diagnosis

Research on data-driven fault diagnosis methods has received much attention in recent years. The deep belief network (DBN) is a commonly used deep learning method for fault diagnosis. In the past, when people used DBN to diagnose gear pitting faults, it was found that the diagnosis result was not good with continuous time domain vibration signals as direct inputs into DBN. Therefore, most researchers extracted features from time domain vibration signals as inputs into DBN. However, it is desirable to use raw vibration signals as direct inputs to achieve good fault diagnosis results. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel method by stacking spare autoencoder (SAE) and Gauss-Binary restricted Boltzmann machine (GBRBM) for early gear pitting faults diagnosis with raw vibration signals as direct inputs. The SAE layer is used to compress the raw vibration data and the GBRBM layer is used to effectively process continuous time domain vibration signals. Vibration signals of seven early gear pitting faults collected from a gear test rig are used to validate the proposed method. The validation results show that the proposed method maintains a good diagnosis performance under different working conditions and gives higher diagnosis accuracy compared to other traditional methods.
