Diagnostics of industrial machinery is a topic related to the need for damage detection, but it also allows to understand the process itself. Proper knowledge about the operational process of the machine, as well as identification of the underlying components, is critical for its diagnostics. In this paper, we present a model of the signal, which describes vibrations of the sieving screen. This particular type is used in the mining industry for the classification of ore pieces in the material stream by size. The model describes the real vibration signal measured on the spring set being the suspension of this machine. This way, it is expected to help in better understanding how the overall motion of the machine can impact the efforts of diagnostics. The analysis of real vibration signals measured on the screen allowed to identify and parameterize the key signal components, which carry valuable information for the following stages of diagnostic process of that machine. In the proposed model we take into consideration deterministic components related to shaft rotation, stochastic Gaussian component related to external noise, stochastic α-stable component as a model of excitations caused by falling rocks pieces, and identified machine response to unitary excitations.

In state analysis of rolling bearings using collaborative representation theory, how to construct an excellent redundant dictionary to collaboratively represent the acquired normal or abnormal data has been being a significant issue. Thus, a new method for fault detection and classification of rolling bearings is proposed in this paper. The proposed algorithm mainly consists of three components. First, a wavelet transform is employed to extract features, which takes advantage of the observation that vibration signals under different conditions have similar frequency spectra. This similarity ensures that we can collaboratively represent any test sample by using training samples. Second, under the similarity assumption, a dictionary pair learning strategy is employed to build an overcomplete dictionary pair, which is used to realize an optimal representation of the vibration signal. Meanwhile, the sparse constraint is also taken into account during dictionary training to enhance the robustness of the classification. Finally, the learned dictionary combined with collaborative representation is used to intelligently perform pattern classification of rolling bearings. The effectiveness and superiority of the method are verified by applying the proposed algorithm on the simulated and real vibration signals. The results show that, for different fault categories generated from different fault size and motor loads, our method can rapidly and accurately identify the fault category to which the input sample belongs.

Signal processing is an integral part in signal-based fault diagnosis of rotary machinery. Signal processing converts the raw data into useful features to make the diagnostic operations. These features should be independent from the normal working conditions of the machine and the external noise. The extracted features should be sensitive only to faults in the machine. Therefore, applying more efficient processing techniques in order to achieve more useful features that bring faster and more accurate fault detection procedure has attracted the attention of researchers. This paper attempts to improve Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT) using wavelet packet transform (WPT) as a preprocessor instead of ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) to decompose the signal into narrow frequency bands and extract instantaneous frequency and compares the efficiency of the proposed method named “wavelet packet-based Hilbert transform (WPHT)” with the HHT in the extraction of broken rotor bar frequency components from vibration signals. These methods are tested on vibration signals of an electro-pump experimental setup. Moreover, this project applies wavelet packet de-noising to remove the noise of vibration signal before applying both methods mentioned and thereby achieves more useful features from vibration signals for the next stages of diagnosis procedure. The comparison of Hilbert transform amplitude spectrum and the values and numbers of detected instantaneous frequencies using HHT and WPHT techniques indicates the superiority of the WPHT technique to detect fault-related frequencies as an improved form of HHT.

A gear plays a crucial role in the performance of a gear box. The faults in a gear reduces the gear life and if problem arises in shaft it affects bearing. Gear box is finally affected due to these faults. Vibration signals carries information about condition of a gear box which are captured using piezoelectric accelerometer. In this paper, features are extracted and classified using K nearest neighbours (KNN) algorithms for both time and frequency domain. The effectiveness of KNN in classification of gear faults for both time and frequency domain is discussed and compared.

Cloud services are proposed for real-time data acquisition, data classification, data processing and decision making, which are highly interconnected services for effective condition monitoring of electrical machines. The proposed Software as a Service, Storage as a Service and Platform as a Service layers address the challenges of data storage and scalability while making analysis on the cluster of machines in an Industrial Environment. An experimental setup consisting of two DC motors coupled to AC Generator operating at different locations is considered to evolve the proposed model for effective integrated monitoring and decision making. This cloud-based vibration monitoring model provides services for data acquisition from the IoT devices mounted on the shafts of the DC motors, data storage to store the enormous amount of acquired signal data from multiple sensors, data classification of vibration signals for effective statistical analysis to estimate adaptive cluster of thresholds and appropriate decision-making services on demand over the Internet to utilize the reliable service of the machines in a persistent way. The computational engine will do inherent statistical analysis of the vibration signals to estimate the cluster of thresholds adaptive to various operating conditions. The services have been deployed without any limitation in a cloud environment and the industrial applications can share information using the deployed services from anywhere on demand basis. The deployed cloud service for the enhanced statistical classification algorithm eliminates the false identification of failures, which not only increase the availability of machines for intended operations but also reduce the maintenance cost. The resulting threshold values are compared with that of the vibration analysis carried out on the machine beds locally using myRIO for data acquisition in LabVIEW and the proposed model ensures the integrity in appropriate decision making with assured scalability.

The paper explores the cyclo-stationary properties of vibration signals for estimation of gearbox condition. The advantage of such approach may be clearly seen especially for so called multi-faults problem, i.e. for more than one faults that occurred in the system. In complex mechanical systems like multistage gearboxes, such situation may be often seen. Although this approach becomes more and more popular, it has been noticed that there is difficult to find examples highlighting its potential, especially for real industrial situations. In order to fill partially the gap, the paper deals with the multi fault detection in complex mechanical systems like multi-stage gearboxes: fixed axis and planetary. It has been discussed that during the operation in such machines many faults may appear simultaneously and the classical method like envelope analysis is difficult to use. The paper presents the use of cyclo-stationary properties of signals to identify and characterize sources of modulation. From Spectral Correlation Density Map or more precisely Spectral Coherence Map have been observed the number of sources with different properties of modulation. It is shown that the number of harmonics is important for a kind of fault extraction and interpretation. This approach has been applied to two, three and five stage gearboxes used in mining industry. Vibration signals received in industrial environment during normal operation of objects are considered. It has been also proposed the simple diagnostic feature to estimate the changes of condition with application to a planetary stage in a 5-stage gearbox.

Aiming to better reflect features of machinery vibration signals of high-voltage (HV) circuit breaker (CB), a new method is proposed on the basis of energy-equal entropy of wavelet packet(WP). First of all, three-layer wavelet packet decomposes vibration signal, reconstructing 8 nodes of signals in the 3rd layer. Then, the vector is extracted with energy-equal entropy of reconstructed signals. At last, the simple back-propagation (BP) neural network for fault diagnosis contributes to classification of the characteristic parameter. This technology is the basis of a number of patents and patents pending, which is experimentally demonstrated by the significant improvement of diagnose faults.

Natural disasters not only disturb the human ecological system but also destroy the properties and critical infrastructures of human societies and even lead to permanent change in the ecosystem. Disaster can be caused by naturally occurring events such as earthquakes, cyclones, floods, and wildfires. Many deep learning techniques have been applied by various researchers to detect and classify natural disasters to overcome losses in ecosystems, but detection of natural disasters still faces issues due to the complex and imbalanced structures of images. To tackle this problem, we propose a multilayered deep convolutional neural network. The proposed model works in two blocks: Block-I convolutional neural network (B-I CNN), for detection and occurrence of disasters, and Block-II convolutional neural network (B-II CNN), for classification of natural disaster intensity types with different filters and parameters. The model is tested on 4428 natural images and performance is calculated and expressed as different statistical values: sensitivity (SE), 97.54%; specificity (SP), 98.22%; accuracy rate (AR), 99.92%; precision (PRE), 97.79%; and F1-score (F1), 97.97%. The overall accuracy for the whole model is 99.92%, which is competitive and comparable with state-of-the-art algorithms.

In this paper, we present an approach for the multi-label classification of remote sensing images based on data-efficient transformers. During the training phase, we generated a second view for each image from the training set using data augmentation. Then, both the image and its augmented version were reshaped into a sequence of flattened patches and then fed to the transformer encoder. The latter extracts a compact feature representation from each image with the help of a self-attention mechanism, which can handle the global dependencies between different regions of the high-resolution aerial image. On the top of the encoder, we mounted two classifiers, a token and a distiller classifier. During training, we minimized a global loss consisting of two terms, each corresponding to one of the two classifiers. In the test phase, we considered the average of the two classifiers as the final class labels. Experiments on two datasets acquired over the cities of Trento and Civezzano with a ground resolution of two-centimeter demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed model.

AbstractIt is difficult to identify the historical period in which some ancient murals were created because of damage due to artificial and/or natural factors; similarities in content, style, and color among murals; low image resolution; and other reasons. This study proposed a transfer learning-fused Inception-v3 model for dynasty-based classification. First, the model adopted Inception-v3 with frozen fully connected and softmax layers for pretraining over ImageNet. Second, the model fused Inception-v3 with transfer learning for parameter readjustment over small datasets. Third, the corresponding bottleneck files of the mural images were generated, and the deep-level features of the images were extracted. Fourth, the cross-entropy loss function was employed to calculate the loss value at each step of the training, and an algorithm for the adaptive learning rate on the stochastic gradient descent was applied to unify the learning rate. Finally, the updated softmax classifier was utilized for the dynasty-based classification of the images. On the constructed small datasets, the accuracy rate, recall rate, and F1 value of the proposed model were 88.4%, 88.36%, and 88.32%, respectively, which exhibited noticeable increases compared with those of typical deep learning models and modified convolutional neural networks. Comparisons of the classification outcomes for the mural dataset with those for other painting datasets and natural image datasets showed that the proposed model achieved stable classification outcomes with a powerful generalization capacity. The training time of the proposed model was only 0.7 s, and overfitting seldom occurred.

In this paper, the process of the developments and changes of the network intrusion behaviors were analyzed. An improved epidemic spreading model was proposed to study the mechanisms of aggressive behaviors spreading, to predict the future course of an outbreak and to evaluate strategies to control a network epidemic. Based on Artificial Immune Systems, the concepts and formal definitions of immune cells were given. And in this paper, the forecasting algorithm based on Markov chain theory was proposed to improve the precision of network risk forecasting. The data of the Memory cells were analyzed directly and kinds of state-spaces were formed, which can be used to predict the risk of network situation by analyzing the cells status and the classification of optimal state. Experimental results show that the proposed model has the features of real-time processing for network situation awareness.
