The fault diagnosis of rotating machinery is quite important for the security and reliability of the overall mechanical equipment. As the main components in rotating machinery, the gear and the bearing are the most vulnerable to faults. In actual working conditions, there are two common types of faults in rotating machinery: the single fault and the compound fault. However, both of them are difficult to detect in the incipient stage because the weak fault characteristic signals are usually submerged by strong background noise, thus increasing the difficulty of the weak fault feature extraction. In this paper, a novel decomposition method, optimal resonance-based signal spares decomposition, is applied for the detection of those two types of faults in the rotating machinery. This method is based on the resonance-based signal spares decomposition, which can nonlinearly decompose vibration signals of rotating machinery into the high and the low resonance components. To extract the weak fault characteristic signals in the presence of strong noise effectively, the genetic algorithm is used to obtain the optimal decomposition parameters. Then, the optimal high and low resonance components, which include the fault characteristic signals of rotating machinery, can be obtained by using the resonance-based signal spares decomposition method with the optimal decomposition parameters. Finally, the high and the low resonance components are subject to the Hilbert transform demodulation analysis; the faults of rotating machinery can be diagnosed based on the obtained envelop spectra. The optimal resonance-based signal spares decomposition method is successfully applied to the analysis of the simulation and experiment vibration signals. The analysis results demonstrate that the proposed method can successfully extract the fault features in rotating machinery.

Since the weak fault characteristics of mechanical equipment are often difficult to extract in strong background noise, stochastic resonance (SR) is widely used to extract the weak fault characteristics, which is able to utilize the noise to amplify weak fault characteristics. Although classical bistable stochastic resonance (CBSR) can enhance the weak characteristics by adjusting the parameters of potential model, when potential barrier height is adjusted potential well width is also changed and vice versa. The simultaneous change of both potential well width and barrier height is difficult to obtain a suitable potential model for better weak fault characteristic extraction and further fault diagnosis of machinery. For this reason, the output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of CBSR is greatly reduced, and the corresponding enhancement ability of weak fault characteristics is limited. In order to avoid the shortcomings, a new SR method is proposed to extract weak fault characteristics and further diagnose the faults of rotating machinery, where the classical bistable potential is replaced with a bistable confining potential to get the optimal SR. The bistable confining potential model not only has the characteristics of the classical bistable potential model but also has the ability to adjust the potential width, barrier height, and wall steepness independently. Simulated data are used to demonstrate the proposed new SR method. The results indicate that the weak fault characteristics can be effectively extracted from simulated signals with heavy noise. Experiments on the bearings and planetary gearboxes demonstrate that the proposed SR method can correctly diagnose the faults of rotating machinery and moreover has higher spectrum peak and better recognition degree compared with the CBSR method.

Sparse Filtering

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.

The field of mechanical fault diagnosis has entered the era of “big data”. However, existing diagnostic algorithms, relying on artificial feature extraction and expert knowledge are of poor extraction ability and lack self-adaptability in the mass data. In the fault diagnosis of rotating machinery, due to the accidental occurrence of equipment faults, the proportion of fault samples is small, the samples are imbalanced, and available data are scarce, which leads to the low accuracy rate of the intelligent diagnosis model trained to identify the equipment state. To solve the above problems, an end-to-end diagnosis model is first proposed, which is an intelligent fault diagnosis method based on one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN). That is to say, the original vibration signal is directly input into the model for identification. After that, through combining the convolutional neural network with the generative adversarial networks, a data expansion method based on the one-dimensional deep convolutional generative adversarial networks (1D-DCGAN) is constructed to generate small sample size fault samples and construct the balanced data set. Meanwhile, in order to solve the problem that the network is difficult to optimize, gradient penalty and Wasserstein distance are introduced. Through the test of bearing database and hydraulic pump, it shows that the one-dimensional convolution operation has strong feature extraction ability for vibration signals. The proposed method is very accurate for fault diagnosis of the two kinds of equipment, and high-quality expansion of the original data can be achieved.
