Rolling bearings are the most fault-prone parts in rotating machinery. In order to find faults in time and reduce losses, this paper presents an intelligent diagnosis method for rolling bearings. At present, the deep residual network (RESNET) is the most widely used convolutional neural network (CNN) and has become one of the hotspots in fault diagnosis. However, the fully connected layer of the deep residual network has the disadvantage of too many training parameters, which makes the model training and testing time longer. So, we proposed a new network structure which the global average pooling (GAP) technology replaces the fully connected layer part of the traditional RESNET. It effectively solves the problem of too many parameters of the traditional RESNET model, and uses data enhancement, dropout, and other deep learning training techniques to prevent the model from overfitting. Experiments show that the accuracy of fault diagnosis of the improved algorithm reaches 99.83%, training time has been shortened. Also, the whole process of rolling bearing fault detection does not need any manually extract features, and this “end-to-end” algorithm has good versatility and operability.

Rolling bearings are vital components in rotary machinery, and their operating condition affects the entire mechanical systems. As one of the most important denoising methods for nonlinear systems, local projection (LP) denoising method can be used to reduce noise effectively. Afterwards, high-order polynomials are utilized to estimate the centroid of the neighborhood to better preserve complete geometry of attractors; thus, high-order local projection (HLP) can improve noise reduction performance. This paper proposed an adaptive high-order local projection (AHLP) denoising method in the field of fault diagnosis of rolling bearings to deal with different kinds of vibration signals of faulty rolling bearings. Optimal orders can be selected corresponding to vibration signals of outer ring fault (ORF) and inner ring fault (IRF) rolling bearings, because they have different nonlinear geometric structures. The vibration signal model of faulty rolling bearing is adopted in numerical simulations, and the characteristic frequencies of simulated signals can be well extracted by the proposed method. Furthermore, two kinds of experimental data have been processed in application researches, and fault frequencies of ORF and IRF rolling bearings can be both clearly extracted by the proposed method. The theoretical derivation, numerical simulations, and application research can indicate that the proposed novel approach is promising in the field of fault diagnosis of rolling bearing.

The condition monitoring of rotating machinery is always a focus of intelligent fault diagnosis. In view of the traditional methods’ excessive dependence on prior knowledge to manually extract features, their limited capacity to learn complex nonlinear relations in fault signals and the mixing of the collected signals with environmental noise in the course of the work of rotating machines, this article proposes a novel approach for detecting the bearing fault, which is based on deep learning. To effectively detect, locate, and identify faults in rolling bearings, a stacked noise reduction autoencoder is utilized for abstracting characteristic from the original vibration of signals, and then, the characteristic is provided as input for backpropagation (BP) network classifier. The results output by this classifier represent different fault categories. Experimental results obtained on rolling bearing datasets show that this method can be used to effectively diagnose bearing faults based on original time-domain signals.

Abstract Blind deconvolution (BD) is an effective algorithm for enhancing the impulsive signature of rolling bearings. As a convex optimization problem, the existing BDs have poor optimization performance and cannot effectively enhance the impulsive signature excited by weak faults. Moreover, the existing BDs require manual derivation of the calculation process, which brings great inconvenience to the researcher's personalized design of the maximization criterion. A new BD algorithm based on backward automatic differentiation (BAD) is proposed, which is named BADBD. The calculation process does not require manual derivation so a general solution of BDs based on different maximization criteria is realized. BADBD constructs multiple cascaded filters to filter the raw vibration signal, which makes up for the deficiency of single filter performance. The filter coefficients are determined by Adam algorithm, which improves the optimization performance of the proposed BADBD. BADBD is compared with classic BDs by synthesized and real vibration signals. The results reveal superior capability of BADBD to enhance the impulsive signature and the fault diagnosis performance is significantly better than the classic BDs.

Vibration signals are used to diagnosis faults of the rolling bearing which is symmetric structure. Stochastic resonance (SR) has been widely applied in weak signal feature extraction in recent years. It can utilize noise and enhance weak signals. However, the traditional SR method has poor performance, and it is difficult to determine parameters of SR. Therefore, a new second-order tristable SR method (STSR) based on a new potential combining the classical bistable potential with Woods-Saxon potential is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the envelope signal of rolling bearings is the input signal of STSR. Then, the output of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is used as the fitness function of the Seeker Optimization Algorithm (SOA) in order to optimize the parameters of SR. Finally, the optimal parameters are used to set the STSR system in order to enhance and extract weak signals of rolling bearings. Simulated and experimental signals are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of STSR. The diagnosis results show that the proposed STSR method can obtain higher output SNR and better filtering performance than the traditional SR methods. It provides a new idea for fault diagnosis of rotating machinery.

Modern machinery becomes more precious with the advance of science, and fault diagnosis is vital for avoiding economical losses or casualties. Among massive diagnosis methods, deep learning algorithms stand out to open an era of intelligent fault diagnosis. Deep residual networks are the state-of-the-art deep learning models which can continuously improve performance by deepening the network structures. However, in vibration-based fault diagnosis, the transient property instability of vibration signal usually calls for time–frequency analysis methods, and the characters of time–frequency matrices are distinct from standard images, which brings some natural limitations for the diagnosis performance of deep learning algorithms. To handle this issue, an enhanced deep residual network named the multilevel correlation stack-deep residual network is proposed in this article. Wavelet packet transform is used to preprocess the sensor signal, and then the proposed multilevel correlation stack-deep residual network uses kernels with different shapes to fully dig various kinds of useful information from any local regions of the processed input. Experiments on two rolling bearing datasets are carried out. Test results show that the multilevel correlation stack-deep residual network exhibits a more satisfactory classification performance than original deep residual networks and other similar methods, revealing significant potentials for realistic fault diagnosis applications.

The multisource information fusion technique is currently one of the common methods for rolling bearing fault diagnosis. However, the current research rarely fuses information from the data of different sensors. At the same time, the dispersion itself in the VAE method has asymmetric characteristics, which can enhance the robustness of the system. Therefore, in this paper, the information fusion method of the variational autoencoder (VAE) and random forest (RF) methods are targeted for subsequent lifetime evolution analysis. This fusion method achieves, for the first time, the simultaneous monitoring of acceleration signals, weak magnetic signals and temperature signals of rolling bearings, thus improving the fault diagnosis capability and laying the foundation for subsequent life evolution analysis and the study of the fault–slip correlation. Drawing on the experimental procedure of the CWRU’s rolling bearing dataset, the proposed VAERF technique was evaluated by conducting inner ring fault diagnosis experiments on the experimental platform of the self-research project. The proposed method exhibits the best performance compared to other point-to-point algorithms, achieving a classification rate of 98.19%. The comparison results further demonstrate that the deep learning fusion of weak magnetic and vibration signals can improve the fault diagnosis of rolling bearings.

Rolling bearings are widely used in industrial manufacturing, and ensuring their stable and effective fault detection is a core requirement in the manufacturing process. However, it is a great challenge to achieve a highly accurate rolling bearing fault diagnosis because of the severe imbalance and distribution differences in fault data due to weak early fault features and interference from environmental noise. An intelligent fault diagnosis strategy for rolling bearings based on grayscale image transformation, a generative adversative network, and a convolutional neural network was proposed to solve this problem. First, the original vibration signal is converted into a grayscale image. Then more training samples are generated using GANs to solve severe imbalance and distribution differences in fault data. Finally, the rolling bearing condition detection and fault identification are carried out by using SECNN. The availability of the method is substantiated by experiments on datasets with different data imbalance ratios. In addition, the superiority of this diagnosis strategy is verified by comparing it with other mainstream intelligent diagnosis techniques. The experimental result demonstrates that this strategy can reach more than 99.6% recognition accuracy even under substantial environmental noise interference or changing working conditions and has good stability in the presence of a severe imbalance in fault data.

Each pattern recognition method has its advantages and disadvantages to diagnose the state of rotating machinery. There are many fault types of rolling bearings with apparent uncertainty. The optimal fusion level is usually challenging to be selected for a specific fault diagnosis task, and extensive human labour and prior knowledge are also highly required during these selections. To solve the above problems, a multimodel decision fusion method based on Deep Convolutional Neural Network and Improved Dempster-Shafer Evidence Theory (DCNN-IDST) is proposed for the inspection of rolling bearing. To solve the defect of the original evidence theory method in the fusion of high-conflict evidence, the fuzzy consistency matrix is introduced. By calculating the factor weight, the reliability and rationality of D-S evidence theory are improved. The DCNN model can learn features from the original data and carry out adaptive feature extraction for multiple sensor information. The features extracted by DCNN adaptively are input into multiple network models for decision fusion. The new method of DCNN-IDST multimodel decision fusion is applied to detect the damage of rolling bearings. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, both the BP neural network and RBF neural network are used to set up a multigroup comparison test. The result demonstrates that the proposed method can detect the fault of the rolling bearing effectively and achieve the highest diagnosis accuracy among all the tested methods in the experiment.
