Manifold learning methods have been widely used in machine condition monitoring and fault diagnosis. However, the results reported in these studies focus on the machine faults under stable loading and rotational speeds, which cannot interpret the practical machine running. Rotating machine is always running under variable speeds and loading, which makes the vibration signal more complicated. To address such concern, the NPE (neighborhood preserving embedding) is applied for bearing fault classification. Compared with other algorithms (PCA, LPP, LDA, and ISOP), the NPE performs well in feature extraction. Since the traditional time domain signal denoising is time consuming and memory consuming, we denoise the signal features directly in feature space. Furthermore, NPE and SOM (self-organizing map) are combined to assess the bearing degradation performance. Simulation and experiment results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Aimed at distinguishing different fault categories of severity of rolling bearings, a novel method based on feature space reconstruction and multiscale permutation entropy is proposed in the study. Firstly, the ensemble empirical mode decomposition algorithm (EEMD) was employed to adaptively decompose the vibration signal into multiple intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), and the representative IMFs which contained rich fault information were selected to reconstruct a feature vector space. Secondly, the multiscale permutation entropy (MPE) was used to calculate the complexity of reconstructed feature space. Finally, the value of multiscale permutation entropy was presented to a support vector machine for fault classification. The proposed diagnostic algorithm was applied to three groups of rolling bearing experiments. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method has better classification performance and robustness than other traditional methods.

When a machine tool is used for a long time, its bearing experiences wear and failure due to heat and vibration, resulting in damage to the machine tool. In order to make the machine tool stable for processing, this paper proposes a smart bearing diagnosis system (SBDS), which uses a gradient-weighted class activation mapping (Grad-CAM)-based convolutional neuro-fuzzy network (GC-CNFN) to detect the bearing status of the machine tool. The developed GC-CNFN is composed of a convolutional layer and neuro-fuzzy network. The convolutional layer can automatically extract vibration signal features, which are then classified using the neuro-fuzzy network. Moreover, Grad-CAM is used to analyze the attention of the diagnosis model. To verify the performance of bearing fault classification, the 1D CNN (ODCNN) and improved 1D LeNet-5 (I1DLeNet) were adopted to compare with the proposed GC-CNFN. Experimental results showed that the proposed GC-CNFN required fewer parameters (20K), had a shorter average calculation time (117.7 s), and had a higher prediction accuracy (99.88%) in bearing fault classification. The proposed SBDS can not only accurately classify bearing faults, but also help users understand the current status of the machine tool.


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


A proficient fault detection model has to be sketched for detecting slight variations of the vibrating signal of rotating machine whereas the diagnosis process prominently stuck with the inefficient extraction of effectual features of a signal in reduced time. Existence of above stated hilarious issue results in the confinement of inventive Harmonized Swan Machine (HSM) based on the stochastic characteristics of swan, which could collect the RKC (RMS, Kurtosis, Crest factor) signal features for every instantaneous signal unit which eliminates noise thereby reducing pre-processing task which in turn lessens time consumption and at the end yields learned extracted faulty features. Accurate classification of faulty features can be accomplished by casting inimitable Trippy classifier which is designed based on selective predictive character of trippy fish which provokes a good path to provide accurate classification based on learned features. This responsible classifier collectively organises the RKC features of respective signal units and do accurate classification of faulty occurrences based on the features in less time.

Abstract The time domain synchronous averaging (TSA) method is a typical time domain signal denoising method, which is widely used in the state detection of rotating machinery. In order to solve the difficult problem of extracting vibration signal features from strong interference, an adaptive multiple time domain synchronous averaging(aMTSA) method based on signal period is proposed in this paper. In view of the blindness and randomness of period selection in TSA method, a new evaluation index of periodic impulse characteristics is proposed. In this method, the signal is resampled then the iteration stop threshold is set, and then the calculation period of interest is determined by two cycle screening. Finally, reconstructed signals with enhanced features are obtained by copying and stitching. Experimental results show that the proposed method is robust and superior in the feature detection of rolling bearing vibration signals.

Condition monitoring is used to track the unavoidable phases of rolling element bearings in an induction motor (IM) to ensure reliable operation in domestic and industrial machinery. The convolutional neural network (CNN) has been used as an effective tool to recognize and classify multiple rolling bearing faults in recent times. Due to the nonlinear and nonstationary nature of vibration signals, it is quite difficult to achieve high classification accuracy when directly using the original signal as the input of a convolution neural network. To evaluate the fault characteristics, ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) is implemented to decompose the signal into multiple intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) in this work. Then, based on the kurtosis value, insignificant IMFs are filtered out and the original signal is reconstructed with the rest of the IMFs so that the reconstructed signal contains the fault characteristics. After that, the 1-D reconstructed vibration signal is converted into a 2-D image using a continuous wavelet transform with information from the damage frequency band. This also transfers the signal into a time-frequency domain and reduces the nonstationary effects of the vibration signal. Finally, the generated images of various fault conditions, which possess a discriminative pattern relative to the types of faults, are used to train an appropriate CNN model. Additionally, with the reconstructed signal, two different methods are used to create an image to compare with our proposed image creation approach. The vibration signal is collected from a self-designed testbed containing multiple bearings of different fault conditions. Two other conventional CNN architectures are compared with our proposed model. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that the image generated with fault signatures not only accurately classifies multiple faults with CNN but can also be considered as a reliable and stable method for the diagnosis of fault bearings.

A novel decoupling control method based on neural networks inverse system is presented in this paper for a bearingless synchronous reluctance motor (BSRM) possessing the characteristics of multi-input-multi-output, nonlinearity, and strong coupling. The dynamic mathematical models are built, which are verified to be invertible. A controller based on neural network inverse is designed, which decouples the original nonlinear system to two linear position subsystems and an angular velocity subsystem. Furthermore, the linear control theory is applied to closed-loop synthesis to meet the desired performance. Simulation and experiment results show that the presented neural networks inverse control strategy can realize the dynamic decoupling of BSRM, and that the control system has fine dynamic and static performance.

The paper presents the use of the autocorrelation function for the description of vibrations and the problems connected with. The proposed method is based on the analysis of vibration signal recorded for machine during its operations using an analytic form of the autocorrelation function. The parameters are obtained using a curve fitting procedure. To keep a quality of parametric representation of considered vibration, only the curve fitting causes a determination coefficient over 0.90 is taken into consideration. Therefore, the autocorrelation functions are submitted for the fast Fourier transform to be helped, in determination of number of the dominant harmonic components. Also, the analytic form and parameters of power spectral density has been also calculated. Finally, the set of parameters has been collected to describe the selected fragment of vibration of the simple rotating machine. The influence of duration of analyzed vibration on the parameters values is also examined in this work.
