Applications of machine learning to machine fault diagnosis: A review and roadmap

Machinery health prognostics: A systematic review from data acquisition to RUL prediction

Intelligent fault diagnosis techniques have replaced time-consuming and unreliable human analysis, increasing the efficiency of fault diagnosis. Deep learning models can improve the accuracy of intelligent fault diagnosis with the help of their multilayer nonlinear mapping ability. This paper proposes a novel method named Deep Convolutional Neural Networks with Wide First-layer Kernels (WDCNN). The proposed method uses raw vibration signals as input (data augmentation is used to generate more inputs), and uses the wide kernels in the first convolutional layer for extracting features and suppressing high frequency noise. Small convolutional kernels in the preceding layers are used for multilayer nonlinear mapping. AdaBN is implemented to improve the domain adaptation ability of the model. The proposed model addresses the problem that currently, the accuracy of CNN applied to fault diagnosis is not very high. WDCNN can not only achieve 100% classification accuracy on normal signals, but also outperform the state-of-the-art DNN model which is based on frequency features under different working load and noisy environment conditions.

Rotating machinery is widely applied in various types of industrial applications. As a promising field for reliability of modern industrial systems, early fault diagnosis (EFD) techniques have attracted increasing attention from both academia and industry. EFD is critical to provide appropriate information for taking necessary maintenance actions and thereby prevent severe failures and reduce financial losses. A massive amounts of research work has been conducted in last two decades to develop EFD techniques. This paper reviews and summarizes the research works on EFD of gears, rotors, and bearings. The main purpose of this paper is to serve as a guidemap for researchers in the field of early fault diagnosis. After a brief introduction of early fault diagnosis techniques, the applications of EFD of rotating machine are reviewed in two aspects: fault frequency-based methods and artificial intelligence-based methods. Finally, a summary and some new research prospects are discussed.

This paper proposes a novel fault diagnosis method based on variational mode decomposition (VMD) and generalized composite multi-scale symbol dynamic entropy (GCMSDE) to identify the different health conditions of planetary gearboxes. First, VMD is adopted to remove the noises and highlight the fault symptoms. Second, GCMSDE is utilized to extract the fault features from the denoised vibration signals. Third, the Laplacian score (LS) approach is employed to refine the fault features. Finally, the new features are fed into Softmax regression to identify the health conditions of planetary gearboxes. The proposed method is numerically and experimentally demonstrated to be able to differentiate seven localized fault types on the sun gear, planet gear and ring gear of planetary gearboxes.

Early fault diagnosis is crucial to reduce the machine downtime. This paper presents a novel method based on symbolic dynamic filtering (SDF) for early fault detection and intrinsic characteristic-scale decomposition (ICD) for fault type recognition. SDF is first applied to extract the fault feature for depicting bearing performance degradation. Then, a fault alarm is triggered using cumulative sum. Finally, the extracted abnormal signal is decomposed by the ICD method, and the kurtosis method is used to select a principal product component that contains most fault information for fault detection. The real life experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method in early detection of bearing fault and fault diagnosis in comparison with Fourier transform, Hilbert envelope spectrum, original local mean decomposition and spectral kurtosis.
