As one of the important parts of a mechanical transmission system, a rolling bearing often has multiple faults coexisting, and the mutual coupling between multiple faults poses a challenge for accurate diagnosis of rolling bearings. Aiming at the above problems, this paper proposes a weighted Morlet wavelet-overlapping group sparse (WOGS) algorithm for the multiple fault diagnosis of rolling bearings. On the basis of the overlapping feature of Morlet wavelet transform coefficients, a WOGS optimization model was initially constructed. Thereafter, the weight coefficients in the model were constructed by analyzing the impulse features of the signal. Thus, majorization-minimization was used to solve the optimization problem. A case study on weak multiple fault diagnosis of rolling bearings was performed to validate the effectiveness of the WOGS algorithm. Quantitative indexes are used to further discuss the extraction accuracies of different algorithms, and the results show that the proposed algorithm exhibits better performance than other algorithms.

Bearings are critical components found in most rotating machinery; their health condition is of immense importance to many industries. The varied conditions and environments in which bearings operate make them prone to single and multiple faults. Widespread interest in the improvements of single fault diagnosis meant limited attention was spent on multiple fault diagnosis. However, multiple fault diagnosis poses extra challenges due to the submergence of the weak fault by the strong fault, presence of non-Gaussian noise, coupling of the frequency components, etc. A number of existing convolutional neural network models operate on a distinct feature that is not enough to assure reliable results in the presence of these challenges. In this paper, extended feature sets in three homogenous deep learning models are used for multiple fault diagnosis. This ensures a measure of diversity is introduced to the health management dataset to obtain complementary solutions from the models. The outputs of the models are fused through blending ensemble learning. Experiments using vibration datasets based on bearing multiple faults show an accuracy of 98.54%, with an improvement of 2.74% in the overall effectiveness over the single models. Compared with other technologies, the results show that this approach provides an improved generalized diagnostic capability.

A New Approach to Multiple Fault Diagnosis: A Combination of Diagnostic Matrices, Graphs, Algebraic and Rule-Based Models. The Case of Two-Layer ModelsThe diagnosis of multiple faults is significantly more difficult than singular fault diagnosis. However, in realistic industrial systems the possibility of simultaneous occurrence of multiple faults must be taken into account. This paper investigates some of the limitations of the diagnostic model based on the simple binary diagnostic matrix in the case of multiple faults. Several possible interpretations of the diagnostic matrix with rule-based systems are provided and analyzed. A proposal of an extension of the basic, single-level model based on diagnostic matrices to a two-level one, founded on causal analysis and incorporating an OR and an AND matrix is put forward. An approach to the diagnosis of multiple faults based on inconsistency analysis is outlined, and a refinement procedure using a qualitative model of dependencies among system variables is sketched out.

The condition monitoring of rotating machinery is always a focus of intelligent fault diagnosis. In view of the traditional methods’ excessive dependence on prior knowledge to manually extract features, their limited capacity to learn complex nonlinear relations in fault signals and the mixing of the collected signals with environmental noise in the course of the work of rotating machines, this article proposes a novel approach for detecting the bearing fault, which is based on deep learning. To effectively detect, locate, and identify faults in rolling bearings, a stacked noise reduction autoencoder is utilized for abstracting characteristic from the original vibration of signals, and then, the characteristic is provided as input for backpropagation (BP) network classifier. The results output by this classifier represent different fault categories. Experimental results obtained on rolling bearing datasets show that this method can be used to effectively diagnose bearing faults based on original time-domain signals.

Abstract Blind deconvolution (BD) is an effective algorithm for enhancing the impulsive signature of rolling bearings. As a convex optimization problem, the existing BDs have poor optimization performance and cannot effectively enhance the impulsive signature excited by weak faults. Moreover, the existing BDs require manual derivation of the calculation process, which brings great inconvenience to the researcher's personalized design of the maximization criterion. A new BD algorithm based on backward automatic differentiation (BAD) is proposed, which is named BADBD. The calculation process does not require manual derivation so a general solution of BDs based on different maximization criteria is realized. BADBD constructs multiple cascaded filters to filter the raw vibration signal, which makes up for the deficiency of single filter performance. The filter coefficients are determined by Adam algorithm, which improves the optimization performance of the proposed BADBD. BADBD is compared with classic BDs by synthesized and real vibration signals. The results reveal superior capability of BADBD to enhance the impulsive signature and the fault diagnosis performance is significantly better than the classic BDs.

Aiming at solving the multiple fault diagnosis problem as well as the sequence of all the potential multiple faults simultaneously, a new multiple fault diagnosis method based on the dependency model method as well as the knowledge in test results and the prior probability of each fault type is proposed. Firstly, the dependency model of the system can be built and used to formulate the fault-test dependency matrix. Then, the dependency matrix is simplified according to the knowledge in the test results of the system. After that, the logic ‘OR’ operation is performed on the feature vectors of the fault status in the simplified dependency matrix to formulate the multiple fault dependency matrix. Finally, fault diagnosis is based on the multiple fault dependency matrix and the ranking of each fault type calculated basing on the prior probability of each fault status. An illustrative numerical example and a case study are presented to verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.

The multisource information fusion technique is currently one of the common methods for rolling bearing fault diagnosis. However, the current research rarely fuses information from the data of different sensors. At the same time, the dispersion itself in the VAE method has asymmetric characteristics, which can enhance the robustness of the system. Therefore, in this paper, the information fusion method of the variational autoencoder (VAE) and random forest (RF) methods are targeted for subsequent lifetime evolution analysis. This fusion method achieves, for the first time, the simultaneous monitoring of acceleration signals, weak magnetic signals and temperature signals of rolling bearings, thus improving the fault diagnosis capability and laying the foundation for subsequent life evolution analysis and the study of the fault–slip correlation. Drawing on the experimental procedure of the CWRU’s rolling bearing dataset, the proposed VAERF technique was evaluated by conducting inner ring fault diagnosis experiments on the experimental platform of the self-research project. The proposed method exhibits the best performance compared to other point-to-point algorithms, achieving a classification rate of 98.19%. The comparison results further demonstrate that the deep learning fusion of weak magnetic and vibration signals can improve the fault diagnosis of rolling bearings.

A rolling bearing is an important connecting part between rotating machines. It is susceptible to mechanical stress and wear, which affect the running state of bearings. In order to effectively identify the fault types and analyze the fault severity of rolling bearings, a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on multiscale amplitude-aware permutation entropy (MAAPE) and random forest is proposed in this paper. The vibration signals of rolling bearings to be analyzed are decomposed into different coarse-grained time series by using the coarse-graining procedure in multiscale entropy, highlighting the fault dynamic characteristics of vibration signals at different scales. The fault features contained in the coarse-grained time series at different time scales are extracted by using amplitude-aware permutation entropy’s sensitive characteristics to signal amplitude and frequency changes to form fault feature vectors. The fault feature vector set is used to establish the random forest multi-classifier, and the fault type identification and fault severity analysis of rolling bearings is realized through random forest. In order to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method, experiments were fully conducted in this paper. The experimental results show that multiscale amplitude-aware permutation entropy can effectively extract fault features of rolling bearings from vibration signals, and the extracted feature vectors have high separability. Compared with other rolling bearing fault diagnosis methods, the proposed method not only has higher fault type identification accuracy, but also can analyze the fault severity of rolling bearings to some extent. The identification accuracy of four fault types is up to 96.0% and the fault recognition accuracy under different fault severity reached 92.8%.

Abstract Rolling bearings are an important part of rotary machines. They are used most widely in various mechanical sectors, which are among the most vulnerable components in machines. This paper uses CKF algorithm to compile a signal analysis system, analyses the vibration signal of the rolling bearing, extracts fault features, and realizes fault diagnosis. In order to improve the estimation accuracy of bearing fault diagnosis under nonlinear model, a nonlinear model of bearing fault diagnosis based on quaternion and low-accuracy high-noise sensors is established, and the attitude estimation has performed using the culture Kalman filter (CKF) algorithm. The sensor data comparison shows that the use of the volumetric Kalman filter algorithm can effectively improve the estimation accuracy of bearing fault diagnosis and stability. In this paper, the measured vibration signals of several groups of rolling bearings are analysed, and the signal characteristic frequency has extracted. The results show that using the analysis software designed in this paper, several typical faults of rolling bearings can be correctly identified.

Bearing Fault Diagnosis

Rolling bearings are widely used in rotating machinery. Their fault feature signals are often submerged in strong noise and are difficult to identify. This paper presents a new method of bearing fault diagnosis that combines the coupled Lorenz system and power spectrum technology. The process is achieved in the following three steps. First, a synchronization system based on the Lorenz system is constructed using the driving-response method. Second, when the tested signal is connected to the driving end, the synchronization error between the two sub-chaotic systems is obtained. Finally, the power spectrum density of the synchronization error is calculated and compared with the corresponding fault characteristic frequency. The coupled Lorenz system makes full use of the noise immunity and nonlinear amplification of the chaotic system. The detection characteristics and feasibility of the new method are verified by simulation and actual measured vibration data. The result shows that the noise reduction effect of the coupled Lorenz system is obvious. This method can improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the tested signal and provide a new way to perform fault diagnosis of rolling bearings.
