To improve the ability of fault diagnosis for mechanical equipment, a Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) diagnosis method based on Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) algorithm is proposed. In the algorithm, at first, UKF algorithm is used to estimate the parameters of RBFNN, and then the proposed method is introduced into the fault diagnosis of mechanical equipment. The simulation indicates that the established model has a good diagnosis performance for mechanical fault diagnosis.

Deep learning method is gradually applied in the field of mechanical equipment fault diagnosis because it can learn complex and useful features automatically from the vibration signals. Among the many intelligent diagnostic models, convolutional neural network has been gradually applied to intelligent fault diagnosis of bearings due to its advantages of local connection and weight sharing. However, there are still some drawbacks. (1) The training process of convolutional neural network is slow and unstable. It has more training parameters. (2) It cannot perform well under different working conditions, such as noisy environment and different workloads. In this paper, a novel model named adaptive and fast convolutional neural network with wide receptive field is presented to overcome the aforementioned deficiencies. The prime innovations include the following. First, a deep convolutional neural network architecture is constructed using the scaled exponential linear unit activation function and global average pooling. The model has fewer training parameters and can converge rapidly and stably. Second, the model has a wide receptive field with two medium and three small length convolutional kernels. It also has high diagnostic accuracy and robustness when the environment is noisy and workloads are changed compared with other models. Furthermore, to demonstrate how the wide receptive field convolutional neural network model works, the reasons for high model performance are analyzed and the learned features are also visualized. Finally, the wide receptive field convolutional neural network model is verified by the vibration dataset collected in the background of high noise, and the results indicate that it has high diagnostic performance.

Effectively avoiding methane accidents is vital to the security of manufacturing minerals. Coal mine methane accidents are often caused by a methane concentration overrun, and accurately predicting methane emission quantity in a coal mine is key to solving this problem. To maintain the concentration of methane in a secure range, grey theory and neural network model are increasingly used to critically forecasting methane emission quantity in coal mines. A limitation of the grey neural network model is that researchers have merely combined the conventional neural network and grey theory. To enhance the accuracy of prediction, a modified grey GM (1,1) and radial basis function (RBF) neural network model is proposed, which combines the amended grey GM (1,1) model and RBF neural network model. In this article, the proposed model is put into a simulation experiment, which is built based on Matlab software (MathWorks.Inc, Natick, Masezius, U.S). Ultimately, the conclusion of the simulation experiment verified that the modified grey GM (1,1) and RBF neural network model not only boosts the precision of prediction, but also restricts relative error in a minimum range. This shows that the modified grey GM (1,1) and RBF neural network model can make more effective and precise predict the predicts, compared to the grey GM (1,1) model and RBF neural network model.

In the intelligent fault diagnosis of rolling bearings, the high recognition accuracy is hardly achieved when small training samples and strong noise happen. In this article, a novel fault diagnosis method is proposed, that is radial basis function neural network with power spectrum of Welch method. This fault diagnosis model adopts the way of end-to-end operating mode. It takes the original vibration signal (time-domain signal) as input, and Welch method transforms the data from time-domain signals to power spectrums and suppresses high strength noise. Then the results of Welch method are classified by radial basis function neural network. To test the performance of radial basis function neural network with power spectrum of Welch method, the method is compared with some advanced fault diagnosis methods, and the limit performance test for radial basis function neural network with power spectrum of Welch method is carried out to obtain its ultimate diagnosis ability. The results show that the proposed method can realize the high diagnostic precision without the complex feature extraction from the signal. At the same time, in the case of a small amount of training data, this method also can achieve the diagnosis in high precision. Moreover, the anti-noise performance of radial basis function neural network with power spectrum of Welch method is better than the performance of some fault diagnosis methods proposed in recent years.

The safety of mechanical equipment is more important, it directly determines the safety of nuclear power plant operation, and even nuclear safety. So it is necessary to monitor the operating state of NPP system and mechanical equipment in real time by inspecting operating parameters. However, the key technology is real-time fault diagnosis of the mechanical equipment in NPP. Traditional fault diagnosis method based on analytic model is difficult to diagnose relevant and superimposed fault because of model error, disturbance and noise. This paper studies the application of fault diagnosis method based on BP neural network in NPP, and proposes an improved method for neural BP network method. For the feed-water system in the variable load operation process, we select the normal operation, the single feed-water valve fault, feed-water pump and feed-water valve superimposed fault as the analysis objects. One hundred points of data are extracted as BP algorithm training elements in these three processes averagely. The normal and abnormal conditions (including single fault and superimposed fault) can be accurately judged, but the single fault and superimposed failure would produce miscarriage of justice, about 2.4% of the single fault is diagnosed as superimposed fault, the diagnosis time delay is less than 1 second. These results meet the accuracy and real-time requirements. Then we study the application of support vector machine (SVM), which can make up for the deficiency of BP neural network. The results of this paper are useful for the real-time and reliable fault diagnosis of NPP.
