Intelligent fault diagnosis can be related to applications of machine learning theories to machine fault diagnosis. Although there is a large number of successful examples, there is a gap in the optimization of the hyper-parameters of the machine learning model, which ultimately has a major impact on the performance of the model. Machine learning experts are required to configure a set of hyper-parameter values manually. This work presents a convolutional neural network based data-driven intelligent fault diagnosis technique for rotary machinery which uses model with optimized hyper-parameters and network structure. The proposed technique input raw three axes accelerometer signal as high definition 1-D data into deep learning layers with optimized hyper-parameters. Input is consisted of wide 12,800 × 1 × 3 vibration signal matrix. Model learning phase includes Bayesian optimization that optimizes hyper-parameters of the convolutional neural network. Finally, by using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model with optimized hyper-parameters, classification in one of the 8 different machine states and 2 rotational speeds can be performed. This study accomplished the effective classification of different rotary machinery states in different rotational speeds using optimized convolutional artificial neural network for classification of raw three axis accelerometer signal input. Overall classification accuracy of 99.94% on evaluation set is obtained with the CNN model based on 19 layers. Additionally, more data are collected on the same machine with altered bearings to test the model for overfitting. Result of classification accuracy of 100% on second evaluation set has been achieved, proving the potential of using the proposed technique.

In recent years, machine learning techniques have been widely used in intelligent fault diagnosis field. As a major unsupervised learning technology, cluster analysis plays an important role in fault intelligent diagnosis based on machine learning. In rolling bearing fault diagnosis, the traditional spectrum analysis method usually adopts the resonant demodulation technology, but when the inner circle, rolling body or multi-point faults produce composite modulation, it is difficulty to identify the fault type from demodulation spectral lines. According to this, a novel rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on KFCM (Kernel-based Fuzzy C-Means) cluster analysis is proposed. Through clustering on test data and the known samples, the memberships of test data are obtained. From these, the rolling bearing fault type can be determined. Experimental results show that this method is effective.

The shaft, rotor, bearing and gear are the important elements of the rotating machines. Most of the problems in rotating machines are caused due to bearings and shaft. The failure of rotating machine causes production downtime and economic & safety issues. Vibration signal analysis is highly accepted technique in fault diagnosis of rotating machine. For automation of fault diagnosis, machine learning approach has been followed. Machine learning classifies fault based on variation in signatures pattern of the machine. But its effectiveness gets reduced when it is used for multi fault class problem. So in the present work, sound signals are also used along with vibration signals for applying sensor fusion techniques. In sensor fusion, signals from various sensors are fused in three levels such as data fusion, feature fusion and decision level fusion and the fused data sets are used for fault classification using machine learning algorithm. The performance of each technique is studied in detail and compared using classification accuracy. A new method is proposed by combination of fusion techniques to enhance the performance

The failure of rotating machine elements causes unnecessary downtime of the machine. Fault in the rotating machinery can be identified from noises, vibration signals obtained from sensors. Bearing and shaft are the most important basic rotating machine elements. Detection of fault from vibration signals is widely used method in condition monitoring techniques for diagnosis of machine elements. Fault diagnosis from sound signals is cost effective than vibration signals. Sound signal analysis is not well explored in the field of automated fault diagnosis. Under various simulated fault conditions, the sound signals are obtained by placing microphone near the bearing for different speeds. The features are extracted by using statistical and histogram methods. The best features of sound signals are obtained by decision tree algorithm. The extracted features are used as inputs to the classifier-Artificial Neural Network. The classification accuracy results from statistical and histogram features are obtained and compared.

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have shown potential in intelligent fault diagnosis of rotating machinery. However, traditional DNNs such as the back-propagation neural network are highly sensitive to the initial weights and easily fall into the local optimum, which restricts the feature learning capability and diagnostic performance. To overcome the above problems, a deep sparse filtering network (DSFN) constructed by stacked sparse filtering is developed in this paper and applied to fault diagnosis. The developed DSFN is pre-trained by sparse filtering in an unsupervised way. The back-propagation algorithm is employed to optimize the DSFN after pre-training. Then, the DSFN-based intelligent fault diagnosis method is validated using two experiments. The results show that pre-training with sparse filtering and fine-tuning can help the DSFN search for the optimal network parameters, and the DSFN can learn discriminative features adaptively from rotating machinery datasets. Compared with classical methods, the developed diagnostic method can diagnose rotating machinery faults with higher accuracy using fewer training samples.
