The accurate localization of the rolling element failure is very important to ensure the reliability of rotating machinery. This paper proposes an efficient and anti-noise fault diagnosis model for rolling elements. The proposed model is composed of feature extraction, feature selection and fault classification. Feature extraction is composed of signal processing and signal noise reduction. Signal processing is carried out by local mean decomposition (LMD), and signal noise reduction is performed by product function (PF) selection and wavelet packet decomposition (WPD). Through the steps of signal noise reduction, high-frequency noise can be effectively removed, and the fault information hidden under the noise can be extracted. To further improve the effectiveness of the diagnostic model, an improved binary particle swarm optimization (IBPSO) is proposed to find the most important features from the feature space. In IBPSO, cycling time-varying inertia weight is introduced to balance exploitation and exploration and improve the capability to escape from local solutions, and crossover and mutation operations are also introduced to improve exploration and exploitation capabilities, respectively. The main contributions of this research are briefly described as follows: (1) The feature extraction process applied in this research can effectively remove noise and establish a high-accuracy feature set. (2) The proposed feature selection algorithm has higher accuracy than the other state-of-the-art feature selection algorithms. (3) In a strong noise environment, the proposed rolling element fault diagnosis model is compared with the state-of-the-art fault diagnosis model in terms of classification accuracy. Experimental results show that the model can maintain high classification accuracy in a strong noise environment. Therefore, it can be proved that the fault diagnosis model proposed in this paper can be effectively applied to the fault diagnosis of rotating machinery.

This article proposes an effective rotor fault diagnosis model of an induction motor (IM) based on local mean decomposition (LMD) and wavelet packet decomposition (WPD)-based multilayer signal analysis and hybrid genetic binary chicken swarm optimization (HGBCSO) for feature selection. Based on the multilayer signal analysis, this technique can reduce the dimension of raw data, extract potential features, and remove background noise. To compare the validity of the proposed HGBCSO method, three well-known evolutionary algorithms are adopted, including binary-particle swarm optimization (BPSO), binary-bat algorithm (BBA), and binary-chicken swarm optimization (BCSO). In addition, the robustness of three classifiers including the decision tree (DT), support vector machine (SVM), and naive Bayes (NB) was compared to select the best model to detect the rotor bar fault. The results showed that the proposed HGBCSO algorithm can obtain better global exploration ability and a lower number of selected features than other evolutionary algorithms that are adopted in this research. In conclusion, the proposed model can reduce the dimension of raw data and achieve high robustness.

The field of mechanical fault diagnosis has entered the era of “big data”. However, existing diagnostic algorithms, relying on artificial feature extraction and expert knowledge are of poor extraction ability and lack self-adaptability in the mass data. In the fault diagnosis of rotating machinery, due to the accidental occurrence of equipment faults, the proportion of fault samples is small, the samples are imbalanced, and available data are scarce, which leads to the low accuracy rate of the intelligent diagnosis model trained to identify the equipment state. To solve the above problems, an end-to-end diagnosis model is first proposed, which is an intelligent fault diagnosis method based on one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN). That is to say, the original vibration signal is directly input into the model for identification. After that, through combining the convolutional neural network with the generative adversarial networks, a data expansion method based on the one-dimensional deep convolutional generative adversarial networks (1D-DCGAN) is constructed to generate small sample size fault samples and construct the balanced data set. Meanwhile, in order to solve the problem that the network is difficult to optimize, gradient penalty and Wasserstein distance are introduced. Through the test of bearing database and hydraulic pump, it shows that the one-dimensional convolution operation has strong feature extraction ability for vibration signals. The proposed method is very accurate for fault diagnosis of the two kinds of equipment, and high-quality expansion of the original data can be achieved.

To solve the problem that the bearing fault of variable working conditions is challenging to identify and classify in the industrial field, this paper proposes a new method based on optimization of multidimension fault energy characteristics and integrates with an improved least-squares support vector machine (LSSVM). First, because the traditional wavelet energy feature is difficult to effectively reflect the characteristics of rolling bearing under different working conditions, based on analyzing the wavelet energy feature extraction in detail, a collaborative method of multidimension fault energy feature extraction combined with the method of Transfer Component Analysis (TCA) is constructed, which improves the discrimination between the different features and the compactness between the same features of rolling bearing faults. Then, for solving the problem of the local optimal of particle swarm optimization (PSO) in fault diagnosis and recognition of rolling bearing, an improved LSSVM based on particle swarm optimization and wavelet mutation optimization is established to realize the collaborative optimization and adjustment of LSSVM dynamic parameters. Based on the improved LSSVM and optimization of multidimensional energy characteristics, a new method for fault diagnosis of rolling bearing is designed. Finally, the simulation and analysis of the proposed algorithm are verified by the experimental data of different working conditions. The experimental results show that this method can effectively extract the multidimensional fault characteristics under variable working conditions and has a high fault recognition rate.
