Abstract Unknown environmental noise and varying operation conditions negatively affect gear fault diagnosis (GFD) performance. In this paper, the sample/feature hybrid transfer learning (TL) strategies are adopted for GFD under varying working conditions, where source working conditions are considered to help the learning of target working conditions. Here, a multiple domains-feature vector is extracted where certain insensitive features offset the adverse effects of varying working conditions on sensitive features, including time domain, frequency domain, noise domain, and torque domain. Before TL, the signed-rank and chi-square test-based similarity estimation frame is adopted to select source data sets, aiming to reduce the possibility of negative transfer. Then, the hybrid transfer model, including the fast TrAdaBoost and partial model-based transfer (PMT) algorithm, is carried out, whose weights are allocated in sample and feature, respectively. Related experiments were conducted on the drivetrain dynamics simulator, which proves that feature transfer is more suitable for low-quality source domains while sample transfer is more suitable for high-quality source domains. Compared with non-transfer strategy, transfer learning is a useful tool to solve a practical GFD problem when facing with multiple working conditions, thus enhancing the universality and application value in fault diagnosis field.

AbstractGear fault diagnosis technologies have received rapid development and been effectively implemented in many engineering applications. However, the various working conditions would degrade the diagnostic performance and make gear fault diagnosis (GFD) more and more challenging. In this paper, a novel model parameter transfer (NMPT) is proposed to boost the performance of GFD under varying working conditions. Based on the previous transfer strategy that controls empirical risk of source domain, this method further integrates the superiorities of multi-task learning with the idea of transfer learning (TL) to acquire transferable knowledge by minimizing the discrepancies of separating hyperplanes between one specific working condition (target domain) and another (source domain), and then transferring both commonality and specialty parameters over tasks to make use of source domain samples to assist target GFD task when sufficient labeled samples from target domain are unavailable. For NMPT implementation, insufficient target domain features and abundant source domain features with supervised information are fed into NMPT model to train a robust classifier for target GFD task. Related experiments prove that NMPT is expected to be a valuable technology to boost practical GFD performance under various working conditions. The proposed methods provides a transfer learning-based framework to handle the problem of insufficient training samples in target task caused by variable operation conditions.

In the large amount of available data, information insensitive to faults in historical data interferes in gear fault feature extraction. Furthermore, as most of the fault diagnosis models are learned from offline data collected under single/fixed working condition only, this may cause unsatisfactory performance for complex working conditions (including multiple and unknown working conditions) if not properly dealt with. This paper proposes a transfer learning-based fault diagnosis method of gear faults to reduce the negative effects of the abovementioned problems. In the proposed method, a cohesion evaluation method is applied to select sensitive features to the task with a transfer learning-based sparse autoencoder to transfer the knowledge learnt under single working condition to complex working conditions. The experimental results on wind turbine drivetrain diagnostics simulator show that the proposed method is effective in complex working conditions and the achieved results are better than those of traditional algorithms.

Gear Fault Diagnosis

Equipment condition monitoring and diagnosis is an important means to detect and eliminate mechanical faults in real time, thereby ensuring safe and reliable operation of equipment. This traditional method uses contact measurement vibration signals to perform fault diagnosis. However, a special environment of high temperature and high corrosion in the industrial field exists. Industrial needs cannot be met through measurement. Mechanical equipment with complex working conditions has various types of faults and different fault characterizations. The sound signal of the microphone non-contact measuring device can effectively adapt to the complex environment and also reflect the operating state of the device. For the same workpiece, if it can simultaneously collect its vibration and sound signals, the two complement each other, which is beneficial for fault diagnosis. One of the limitations of the signal source and sensor is the difficulty in assessing the gear state under different working conditions. This study proposes a method based on improved evidence theory method (IDS theory), which uses convolutional neural network to combine vibration and sound signals to realize gear fault diagnosis. Experimental results show that our fusion method based on IDS theory obtains a more accurate and reliable diagnostic rate than the other fusion methods.
