In this paper, a study has presented the performance of a neural networks technique to detect the broken rotor bars (BRBs) fault in induction motors (IMs). In this context, the fast Fourier transform (FFT) applied on Hilbert modulus obtained via the stator current signal has been used as a diagnostic signal to replace the FFT classic, the characteristics frequency are selected from the Hilbert modulus spectrum, in addition, the different load conditions are used as three inputs data for the neural networks. The efficiency of the proposed method is verified by simulation in MATLAB environment.

Abstract The frequency response function (FRF), defined as the ratio between the Fourier transform of the time-domain output and the Fourier transform of the time-domain input, is a common tool to analyze the relationships between inputs and outputs of a mechanical system. Learning the FRF for mechanical systems can facilitate system identification, condition-based health monitoring, and improve performance metrics, by providing an input-output model that describes the system dynamics. Existing FRF identification assumes there is a one-to-one mapping between each input frequency component and output frequency component. However, during dynamic operations, the FRF can present complex dependencies with frequency cross-correlations due to modulation effects, nonlinearities, and mechanical noise. Furthermore, existing FRFs assume linearity between input-output spectrums with varying mechanical loads, while in practice FRFs can depend on the operating conditions and show high nonlinearities. Outputs of existing neural networks are typically low-dimensional labels rather than real-time high-dimensional measurements. This paper proposes a vector regression method based on deep neural networks for the learning of runtime FRFs from measurement data under different operating conditions. More specifically, a neural network based on an encoder-decoder with a symmetric compression structure is proposed. The deep encoder-decoder network features simultaneous learning of the regression relationship between input and output embeddings, as well as a discriminative model for output spectrum classification under different operating conditions. The learning model is validated using experimental data from a high-pressure hydraulic test rig. The results show that the proposed model can learn the FRF between sensor measurements under different operating conditions with high accuracy and denoising capability. The learned FRF model provides an estimation for sensor measurements when a physical sensor is not feasible and can be used for operating condition recognition.

Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is commonly employed in multiple domains to realize inexpensive and flexible material extrusion systems with thermoplastic materials. Among the several types of thermoplastic materials, polylactic acid (PLA), an environment-friendly bio-plastic, is commonly used for FFF for the sake of the safety of the manufacturing process. However, thermal degradation of three-dimensionally (3D)-printed PLA products is inevitable, and it is one of the failure mechanisms of thermoplastic products. The present study focuses on the thermal degradation of 3D-printed PLA specimens. A classification methodology using artificial neural networks (ANNs) based on Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and was developed. Under the given experimental conditions, the ANN model could classify four levels of thermal degradation. Among the FTIR spectra recorded from 650 cm−1 to 4000 cm−1, the ANN model could suggest the best wavenumber ranges for classification.

Cluster analysis and artificial neural networks (ANNs) are applied to the automated assessment of disease state in Fourier transform infrared microscopic imaging measurements of normal and carcinomatous immortalized human breast cell lines. K-means clustering is used to implement an automated algorithm for the assignment of pixels in the image to cell and non-cell categories. Cell pixels are subsequently classified into carcinoma and normal categories through the use of a feed-forward ANN computed with the Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno training algorithm. Inputs to the ANN consist of principal component scores computed from Fourier filtered absorbance data. A grid search optimization procedure is used to identify the optimal network architecture and filter frequency response. Data from three images corresponding to normal cells, carcinoma cells, and a mixture of normal and carcinoma cells are used to build and test the classification methodology. A successful classifier is developed through this work, although differences in the spectral backgrounds between the three images are observed to complicate the classification problem. The robustness of the final classifier is improved through the use of a rejection threshold procedure to prevent classification of outlying pixels.

Abstract Respirable crystalline silica (RCS) overexposure can lead to the development of silicosis which is a chronic, irreversible, potentially fatal respiratory disease. The most significant prerequisite for any silica exposure control plan is an accurate occupational exposure assessment. The results of crystalline silica analysis are often affected by other mineral interferences and are influenced by an analyst’s knowledge of mineralogy to accurately interpret infrared spectra and correct matrix interferences. Partial least squares (PLS) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) are two multivariate calibration methods to overcome the problem of spectral interferences without the need for an analyst intervention. The performance of these two methods in quantitative analysis of quartz in the presence of mineral interferences was evaluated and compared in this study. Fifty mixtures with different crystalline silica content ratios were prepared by mixing quartz with four common mineral interferences including kaolinite, albite, muscovite, and amorphous silica. Fourier-transform infrared spectra of the mixtures were split into training and test datasets. The optimal architecture of the ANN model was achieved using a two-level full factorial design experiment and data were modeled using ANN and PLS regression analysis. Root mean squared error of prediction values of 1.69 and 6.12 µg quartz for ANN and PLS models, respectively, revealed the fact that the both models performed very well in quantitative analysis of quartz in the presence of mineral interferences, with a better relative performance of the ANN model which can be related to the inherent nonlinear predictive ability of ANNs. Given the excellent predictive ability of the ANN model which can deal with a completely overlapped peak without any need of user’s intervention, it is recommended that the ANN model be optimized in future studies and utilized for reliable and rapid on-field assessment of RCS exposure.
