To improve the fault diagnosis performance for rotating machinery, an efficient, noise-resistant end-to-end deep learning (DL) algorithm is proposed based on the advantages of the wavelet packet transform in vibration signal processing (the capability to extract multiscale information and more spectral distribution features) and deep convolutional neural networks (good classification performance, data-driven design and high transfer-learning ability). First, a vibration signal is subjected to pyramid wavelet packet decomposition, and each sub-band coefficient is used as the input for each channel of a deep convolutional network (DCN). Then, based on the lightweight modeling requirements and techniques, a new DCN structure is designed for the fault diagnosis. The proposed algorithm is compared with the support vector machine algorithm and the published DL algorithms based on a bearing dataset produced by Case Western Reserve University. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is superior to the existing algorithms in terms of accuracy, memory space, computational complexity, noise resistance, and transfer performance, producing good results.

Spindle devices, which are among the core components of mine hoists, are typical rotor-bearing systems. Vibration-based fault diagnosis techniques are often used to help prevent mechanical failures of such systems. The fault vibration signals generally include pulse information reflecting fault type, independent vibration components caused by other non-faulty mechanical components, noise in the surrounding environment and so on. The reduction of noise in the vibration signal collected by the sensor is of practical significance for the correct diagnosis of subsequent rotating machinery faults. To solve this problem, a fault diagnosis method based on a smooth (SM) filtering algorithm combined with variational mode decomposition (VMD) and a support vector machine (SVM) is proposed. Wavelet transform (WT) and wavelet packet transform (WPT) methods are used to compare the noise reduction. The reliability and effectiveness of the method are verified by experiments on a hoist mechanical fault simulator. Experimental results show that the proposed method has high prediction accuracy and can provide a good practical reference for fault diagnosis of rotating machinery.

The key to fault diagnosis of rotating machinery is to extract fault features effectively and select the appropriate classification algorithm. As a common signal decomposition method, the effect of wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) largely depends on the applicability of the wavelet basis function (WBF). In this paper, a novel fault diagnosis approach for rotating machinery based on feature importance ranking and selection is proposed. Firstly, a two-step principle is proposed to select the most suitable WBF for the vibration signal, based on which an optimized WPD (OWPD) method is proposed to decompose the vibration signal and extract the fault information in the frequency domain. Secondly, FE is utilized to extract fault features of the decomposed subsignals of OWPD. Thirdly, the categorical boosting (CatBoost) algorithm is introduced to rank the fault features by a certain strategy, and the optimal feature set is further utilized to identify and diagnose the fault types. A hybrid dataset of bearing and rotor faults and an actual dataset of the one-stage reduction gearbox are utilized for experimental verification. Experimental results indicate that the proposed approach can achieve higher fault diagnosis accuracy using fewer features under complex working conditions.

Vibration signal of rotating machinery is often submerged in a large amount of noise, leading to the decrease of fault diagnosis accuracy. In order to improve the denoising effect of the vibration signal, an adaptive redundant second-generation wavelet (ARSGW) denoising method is proposed. In this method, a new index for denoising result evaluation (IDRE) is constructed first. Then, the maximum value of IDRE and the genetic algorithm are taken as the optimization objective and the optimization algorithm, respectively, to search for the optimal parameters of the ARSGW. The obtained optimal redundant second-generation wavelet (RSGW) is used for vibration signal denoising. After that, features are extracted from the denoised signal and then input into the support vector machine method for fault recognition. The application result indicates that the proposed ARSGW denoising method can effectively improve the accuracy of rotating machinery fault diagnosis.

Fault diagnosis is critical to ensuring the safety and reliable operation of rotating machinery systems. Long short-term memory networks (LSTM) have received a great deal of attention in this field. Most of the LSTM-based fault diagnosis methods have too many parameters and calculation, resulting in large memory occupancy and high calculation delay. Thus, this paper proposes a low-delay lightweight recurrent neural network (LLRNN) model for mechanical fault diagnosis, based on a special LSTM cell structure with a forget gate. The input vibration signal is segmented into several shorter sub-signals in order to shorten the length of the time sequence. Then, these sub-signals are sent into the network directly and converted into the final diagnostic results without any manual participation. Compared with some existing methods, our experiments illustrate that the proposed method has less memory space occupancy and lower computational delay while maintaining the same level of accuracy.

In the fault monitoring of rotating machinery, the vibration signal of the bearing and gear in a complex operating environment has poor stationarity and high noise. How to accurately and efficiently identify various fault categories is a major challenge in rotary fault diagnosis. Most of the existing methods only analyze the single channel vibration signal and do not comprehensively consider the multi-channel vibration signal. Therefore, this paper presents Refined Composite Multivariate Multiscale Fluctuation Dispersion Entropy (RCMMFDE), a method which extracts the recognition information of multi-channel signals with different scale factors, and the refined composite analysis ensures the recognition stability. The simulation results show that this method has the characteristics of low sensitivity to signal length and strong anti-noise ability. At the same time, combined with Joint Mutual Information Maximisation (JMIM) and support vector machine (SVM), RCMMFDE-JMIM-SVM fault diagnosis method has been proposed. This method uses RCMMFDE to extract the state characteristics of the multiple vibration signals of the rotary machine, and then uses the JMIM method to extract the sensitive characteristics. Finally, different states of the rotary machine are classified by SVM. The validity of the method is verified by the composite gear fault data set and bearing fault data set. The diagnostic accuracy of the method is 99.25% and 100.00%. The experimental results show that RCMMFDE-JMIM-SVM can effectively recognize multiple signals.

This paper studies the roller bearing fault diagnosis method with harmonic wavelet packet and Decision Tree-Support Vector Machine (DT-SVM). The harmonic wavelet packet possesses better performances for its box-shaped spectrum and unlimited subdivision compared with the conventional time-frequency feature exaction method. Firstly, the proposed method decomposes the roller bearing vibration signal with harmonic wavelet packet and extracts the feature energy with coefficients of each spectrum. After the feature energy is normalized, feature vector are available. Based on multi-level binary tree, this paper designs the multi-classification SVM model due to its superior nonlinear mapping capability. Three two-classifications are incorporated to diagnosis the roller bearing faults. Finally, the proposed method is illustrated with the vibration data from the roller bearing stand of electric engineering lab in case western reserve university. Experimental results illustrate the higher accuracy of the proposed method compared with conventional method.

To deal with the difficulty to obtain a large number of fault samples under the practical condition for mechanical fault diagnosis, a hybrid method that combined wavelet packet decomposition and support vector classification (SVC) is proposed. The wavelet packet is employed to decompose the vibration signal to obtain the energy ratio in each frequency band. Taking energy ratios as feature vectors, the pattern recognition results are obtained by the SVC. The rolling bearing and gear fault diagnostic results of the typical experimental platform show that the present approach is robust to noise and has higher classification accuracy and, thus, provides a better way to diagnose mechanical faults under the condition of small fault samples.

Targeting the characteristics that periodic impulses usually occur whilst the rotating machinery exhibits local faults and the limitations of singular value decomposition (SVD) techniques, the SVD technique based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is applied to the fault feature extraction of the rotating machinery vibration signals. The EMD method is used to decompose the vibration signal into a number of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) by which the initial feature vector matrices could be formed automatically. By applying the SVD technique to the initial feature vector matrices, the singular values of matrices could be obtained, which could be used as the fault feature vectors of support vector machines (SVMs) classifier. The analysis results from the gear and roller bearing vibration signals show that the fault diagnosis method based on EMD, SVD and SVM can extract fault features effectively and classify working conditions and fault patterns of gears and roller bearings accurately even when the number of samples is small.
