Feature extraction from a signal is the most important step in signal-based fault diagnosis. Deep learning or deep neural network (DNN) is an effective method to extract features from signals. In this paper, a novel vibration signal-based bearing fault diagnosis method using DNN is proposed. First, the measured vibration signals are transformed into a new data form called multiple-domain image-representation. By this transformation, the task of signal-based fault diagnosis is transferred into the task of image classification. After that, a DNN with a multi-branch structure is proposed to handle the multiple-domain image representation data. The multi-branch structure of the proposed DNN helps to extract features in multiple domains simultaneously, and to lead to better feature extraction. Better feature extraction leads to a better performance of fault diagnosis. The effectiveness of the proposed method was verified via the experiments conducted with actual bearing fault signals and its comparisons with well-established published methods.

The condition monitoring and fault detection of rolling bearing are of great significance to ensure the safe and reliable operation of rotating machinery system.In the past few years, deep neural network (DNN) has been recognized as an effective tool to detect rolling bearing faults. However, It is too complex to directly feed the original vibration signal to the DNN neural network, and the accuracy of fault identification is not high. By using the signal preprocessing technology, the original signal can be effectively removed and preprocessed without losing the key diagnosis information. In this paper, a new EEMD-LSTM bearing fault diagnosis method is proposed, which combines the signal preprocessing technology with the EEMD method that can get clear fault feature signals, and LSTM technology to extract fault features automatically that improves the efficiency of fault feature extraction. In the case of small sample size, this method can significantly improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis.

Mechanical equipment fault diagnosis occupies an important position in the industrial production, and feature extraction plays an important role in fault diagnosis. This paper analyzes various methods of feature extraction in rolling bearing fault diagnosis and classifies them into two big categories, which are methods of depending on empirical rules and experimental trials and using objective methods for screening. The former includes five methods: frequency as the characteristic parameters, multi-sensor information fusion method, rough set attribute reduction method, "zoom" method and vibration signal as the characteristic parameters. The latter includes two methods: sensitivity extraction and data mining methods to select attributes. Currently, selection methods of feature parameters depend heavily on empirical rules and experimental trials, thus extraction results are be subjected to restriction from subjective level, feature extraction in the future will develop toward objective screening direction.

The vast impact on machinery that is rooted by bearing degradation thus pinpointing bearing fault diagnosis as indubitably very crucial. The research is innovated to diagnose the fault in bearing by implementing deep learning approach which is Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) that has superiority over image processing and pattern recognition. A novel model comprises of Gabor Transform and CNN is proposed whereby Gabor Transform is utilized in representing the raw vibration signals into its image representation. The CNN architecture is augmented for a better accuracy of the bearing fault diagnosis model. To date, the method combination has never been deployed in establishing fault diagnosis model. Plus, the usage of Gabor Transform in mechanical area especially in bearing fault diagnosis is meagrely reported. Scant researches in mechanical diagnosis are dedicated to work on the image representation of the vibration data whereas the CNN works better when fed by images input due to its unique strength of CNN in images processing and spatial awareness. At the end of the research, it is perceived that the proposed model comprises of Gabor Transform and CNN can diagnose the bearing faults with 100% accuracy and perform better than when CNN is fed with raw signals.
