Three-phase induction motors are extensively used in industrial processes due to their robustness, adaptability to different operating conditions, and low operation and maintenance costs. Induction motor fault diagnosis has received special attention from industry since it can reduce process losses and ensure the reliable operation of industrial systems. Therefore, this paper presents a study on the use of meta-heuristic tools in the diagnosis of bearing failures in induction motors. The extraction of the fault characteristics is performed based on mutual information measurements between the stator current signals in the time domain. Then, the Artificial Bee Colony algorithm is used to select the relevant mutual information values and optimize the pattern classifier input data. To evaluate the classification accuracy under various levels of failure severity, the performance of two different pattern classifiers was compared: The C4.5 decision tree and the multi-layer artificial perceptron neural networks. The experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Faced with severe operating conditions, rolling bearings tend to be one of the most vulnerable components in mechanical systems. Due to the requirements of economic efficiency and reliability, effective fault diagnosis methods for rolling bearings have long been a hot research topic of rotary machinery fields. However, traditional methods such as support vector machine (SVM) and backpropagation neural network (BP-NN) which are composed of shallow structures trap into a dilemma when further improving their accuracies. Aiming to overcome shortcomings of shallow structures, a novel hierarchical algorithm based on stacked LSTM (long short-term memory) is proposed in this text. Without any preprocessing operation or manual feature extraction, the proposed method constructs a framework of end-to-end fault diagnosis system for rolling bearings. Beneficial from the memorize-forget mechanism of LSTM, features inherent in raw temporal signals are extracted hierarchically and automatically by stacking LSTM. A series of experiments demonstrate that the proposed model can not only achieve up to 99% accuracy but also outperform some state-of-the-art intelligent fault diagnosis methods.

Rolling bearings are present ubiquitously in industrial fields; timely fault diagnosis is of crucial significance in avoiding serious catastrophe. The extraction of ideal fault feature is a challenging task in vibration-based bearing fault detection. In this article, a novel method called class-information–incorporated kernel entropy component analysis is proposed for bearing fault diagnosis. The method is developed based on the Hebbian learning theory of neural network and the kernel entropy component analysis which attempts to compress the most Renyi quadratic entropy of input dataset after dimension reduction and presents a good performance for nonlinear feature extraction. Class-information–incorporated kernel entropy component analysis can take advantage of the label information of training samples to guide dimensional reduction and still follow the same simple mathematical formulation as kernel entropy component analysis. The high-dimensional feature dataset including time-domain, frequency-domain, and time–frequency domain characteristic parameters is first derived from the vibration signals. Then, the intrinsic geometric features are extracted by class-information–incorporated kernel entropy component analysis, and a classification strategy based on fusion information is applied to recognize different operating conditions of bearings. The experimental results demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Nonlinear characteristics are ubiquitous in the vibration signals produced by rolling element bearings. Fractal dimensions are effective tools to illustrate nonlinearity. This paper proposes a new approach based on Multiscale General Fractal Dimensions (MGFDs) to realize fault diagnosis of rolling element bearings, which are robust to the effects of variation in operating conditions. The vibration signals of bearing are analyzed to extract the general fractal dimensions in multiscales, which are in turn utilized to construct a feature space to identify fault pattern. Finally, bearing faults are revealed by pattern recognition. Case studies are carried out to evaluate the validity and accuracy of the approach. It is verified that this approach is effective for fault diagnosis of rolling element bearings under various operating conditions via experiment and data analysis.

An effective fault diagnosis method for induction motors is proposed in this paper to improve the reliability of motors using a combination of entropy feature extraction, mutual information, and support vector machine. Sample entropy and multiscale entropy are used to extract the desired entropy features from motor vibration signals. Sample entropy is used to estimate the complexity of the original time series while multiscale entropy is employed to measure the complexity of time series in different scales. The entropy features are directly extracted from the nonlinear, nonstationary induction motor vibration signals which are then sorted by using mutual information so that the elements in the feature vector are ranked according to their importance and relevant to the faults. The first five most important features are selected from the feature vectors and classified using support vector machine. The proposed method is then employed to analyze the vibration data acquired from a motor fault simulator test rig. The classification results confirm that the proposed method can effectively diagnose various motor faults with reasonable good accuracy. It is also shown that the proposed method can provide an effective and accurate fault diagnosis for various induction motor faults using only vibration data.

A novel feature extraction and selection scheme is presented for intelligent engine fault diagnosis by utilizing two-dimensional nonnegative matrix factorization (2DNMF), mutual information, and nondominated sorting genetic algorithms II (NSGA-II). Experiments are conducted on an engine test rig, in which eight different engine operating conditions including one normal condition and seven fault conditions are simulated, to evaluate the presented feature extraction and selection scheme. In the phase of feature extraction, theStransform technique is firstly utilized to convert the engine vibration signals to time-frequency domain, which can provide richer information on engine operating conditions. Then a novel feature extraction technique, named two-dimensional nonnegative matrix factorization, is employed for characterizing the time-frequency representations. In the feature selection phase, a hybrid filter and wrapper scheme based on mutual information and NSGA-II is utilized to acquire a compact feature subset for engine fault diagnosis. Experimental results by adopted three different classifiers have demonstrated that the proposed feature extraction and selection scheme can achieve a very satisfying classification performance with fewer features for engine fault diagnosis.
