With the booming development of intelligent manufacturing in modern industry, intelligent fault diagnosis systems have become a necessity to equipment and machine, which have attracted many researchers’ attention. However, due to the requirements of enough labeled data for most of the current approaches, it is difficult to implement them in real industrial scenarios. In this paper, an unsupervised intelligent fault diagnosis system based on feature transfer is constructed to extract the historical labeled data of the source domain, using feature transfer to facilitate the fault diagnosis of the target domain. The original feature set is acquired by EEMD time-frequency analysis. Then, the transfer component analysis algorithm is adopted to minimize the distance between the marginal distributions of the source and target domains which reduces the discrepancy of features between the different domains. Finally, SVM is used in multiclassification to identify different categories of faults. The performance of the fault diagnosis system under different loads is tested on the CWRU bearing data set, and the experiments show that the proposed system could effectively improve the recognition ability of unsupervised fault diagnosis.

Motor failure is one of the biggest problems in the safe and reliable operation of large mechanical equipment such as wind power equipment, electric vehicles, and computer numerical control machines. Fault diagnosis is a method to ensure the safe operation of motor equipment. This research proposes an automatic fault diagnosis system combined with variational mode decomposition (VMD) and residual neural network 101 (ResNet101). This method unifies the pre-analysis, feature extraction, and health status recognition of motor fault signals under one framework to realize end-to-end intelligent fault diagnosis. Research data are used to compare the performance of the three models through a data set released by the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). VMD is a non-recursive adaptive signal decomposition method that is suitable for processing the vibration signals of motor equipment under variable working conditions. Applied to bearing fault diagnosis, high-dimensional fault features are extracted. Deep learning shows an absolute advantage in the field of fault diagnosis with its powerful feature extraction capabilities. ResNet101 is used to build a model of motor fault diagnosis. The method of using ResNet101 for image feature learning can extract features for each image block of the image and give full play to the advantages of deep learning to obtain accurate results. Through the three links of signal acquisition, feature extraction, and fault identification and prediction, a mechanical intelligent fault diagnosis system is established to identify the healthy or faulty state of a motor. The experimental results show that this method can accurately identify six common motor faults, and the prediction accuracy rate is 94%. Thus, this work provides a more effective method for motor fault diagnosis that has a wide range of application prospects in fault diagnosis engineering.

It is a difficulty to combine artificial neural networks (ANN) with the fault diagnosis of electrohydraulic servo valve. To slolve this problem, the fault diagnosis mechanism of electrohydraulic servo system is analysed, the effecitveness of fault diagnosis based on ANN is verified, and the pressure characteristic data are used to construct ANN samples. Finally, the algorithms of RBF, BP and Elman are compared with the built system and sampled. The results show the RBF algorithm is more rapid and accurate and the proposed intelligent fault diagnosis system of electrohydraulic servo valve is valuable.
