Recent convolutional neural network (CNN) models in image processing can be used as feature-extraction methods to achieve high accuracy as well as automatic processing in bearing fault diagnosis. The combination of deep learning methods with appropriate signal representation techniques has proven its efficiency compared with traditional algorithms. Vital electrical machines require a strict monitoring system, and the accuracy of these machines’ monitoring systems takes precedence over any other factors. In this paper, we propose a new method for diagnosing bearing faults under variable shaft speeds using acoustic emission (AE) signals. Our proposed method predicts not only bearing fault types but also the degradation level of bearings. In the proposed technique, AE signals acquired from bearings are represented by spectrograms to obtain as much information as possible in the time–frequency domain. Feature extraction and classification processes are performed by deep learning using EfficientNet and a stochastic line-search optimizer. According to our various experiments, the proposed method can provide high accuracy and robustness under noisy environments compared with existing AE-based bearing fault diagnosis methods.

Rolling bearing failure is the main cause of failure of rotating machinery, and leads to huge economic losses. The demand of the technique on rolling bearing fault diagnosis in industrial applications is increasing. With the development of artificial intelligence, the procedure of rolling bearing fault diagnosis is more and more treated as a procedure of pattern recognition, and its effectiveness and reliability mainly depend on the selection of dominant characteristic vector of the fault features. In this paper, a novel diagnostic framework for rolling bearing faults based on multi-dimensional feature extraction and evidence fusion theory is proposed to fulfil the requirements for effective assessment of different fault types and severities with real-time computational performance. Firstly, a multi-dimensional feature extraction strategy on the basis of entropy characteristics, Holder coefficient characteristics and improved generalized box-counting dimension characteristics is executed for extracting health status feature vectors from vibration signals. And, secondly, a grey relation algorithm is used to calculate the basic belief assignments (BBAs) using the extracted feature vectors, and lastly, the BBAs are fused through the Yager algorithm for achieving bearing fault pattern recognition. The related experimental study has illustrated the proposed method can effectively and efficiently recognize various fault types and severities in comparison with the existing intelligent diagnostic methods based on a small number of training samples with good real-time performance, and may be used for online assessment.

An enhancedk-nearest neighbor (k-NN) classification algorithm is presented, which uses a density based similarity measure in addition to a distance based similarity measure to improve the diagnostic performance in bearing fault diagnosis. Due to its use of distance based similarity measure alone, the classification accuracy of traditionalk-NN deteriorates in case of overlapping samples and outliers and is highly susceptible to the neighborhood size,k. This study addresses these limitations by proposing the use of both distance and density based measures of similarity between training and test samples. The proposedk-NN classifier is used to enhance the diagnostic performance of a bearing fault diagnosis scheme, which classifies different fault conditions based upon hybrid feature vectors extracted from acoustic emission (AE) signals. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme, which uses the enhancedk-NN classifier, yields better diagnostic performance and is more robust to variations in the neighborhood size,k.

For years, vibration analysis has been the industry standard for bearing fault diagnosis. However, due to the various advantages over vibration based techniques, the quantification of acoustic emission (AE) for bearing health diagnosis has been an area of interest for recent years. Additionally, most AE based methodologies to date utilize data mining technologies. Presented in this paper is a new approach, combining a heterodyne based frequency reduction technique, time synchronous resampling, and spectral averaging to process AE signals and compute condition indicators (CIs) for bearing fault diagnostics. First, the heterodyne based frequency reduction technique allows the AE signal frequency to be down shifted from several MHz to less than 50 kHz, which approaches that of vibration based methodologies. Next, the sampled AE signals are band pass filtered to retain the useful information related to the bearing defects. Last, a trigger signal is utilized to time synchronously resample the AE signals to allow the calculation of a spectral average and the extraction and evaluation of CIs for bearing fault diagnosis. The technique presented in this paper is validated using the AE signals of seeded fault steel bearings on a bearing test rig. Presented is an effective AE based approach validated to diagnose all four fault types: inner race, outer race, ball, and cage. Moreover, the effectiveness of the presented approach is established through the comparison of both AE and vibration data.
