A Novel De-noising Method Based on Discrete Cosine Transform and Its Application in the Fault Feature Extraction of Hydraulic Pump

Aiming at the existing problems of discrete cosine transform(DCT) de-noising method, we introduce the idea of wavelet neighboring coefficients(WNC) de-noising method, and propose the cosine neighboring coefficients(CNC) de-noising method. Based on DCT, a novel method for the fault feature extraction of hydraulic pump is analyzed. The vibration signal of pump is de-noised with CNC de-noising method, and the fault feature is extracted by performing Hilbert-Huang transform(HHT) to the output signal. The analysis results of the simulation signal and the actual one demonstrate that the proposed CNC de-noising method and the fault feature extraction method have more superior ability than the traditional ones.

Fault diagnosis of rolling bearings with noise signal based on modified kernel principal component analysis and DC‐ResNet

In view of the influence of aliasing noise on the effectiveness and accuracy of bearing fault diagnosis,a bearing fault diagnosis algorithm based on the spatial decoupling method of modified kernel principal component analysis(MKPCA)and the residual network with deformable convolution(DC‐ResNet)is innovatively proposed.Firstly,the Gaussian noise with different signal‐to‐noise ratios(SNRs)is added to the data to simulate the different degrees of noise in the actual data acquisition process.The MKPCA is used to project the fault signal with different SNRs in the kernel space to reduce the data dimension and eliminate some noise effects.Finally,the DC‐ResNet model is used to further filter the noise effects and fully extract the fault features through the training of the preprocessed data.The proposed algorithm is tested on the Case Western Reserve University(CWRU)and Xi'an Jiaotong University and Changxing Sumyoung Technology Co.,Ltd.(XJTU‐SY)bearing data sets with different SNR noise.The fault diagnosis accuracy can reach 100%within 30 min,which has better performance than most of the existing methods.The experimental results show that the algorithm has an excellent effect on accuracy and computation complexity under different noise levels.

Machine learning based online fault prognostics for nonstationary industrial process via degradation feature extraction and temporal smoothness analysis

Fault degradation prognostic, which estimates the time before a failure occurs and process breakdowns, has been recognized as a key component in maintenance strategies nowadays. Fault degradation processes are, in general,slowly varying and can be modeled by autoregressive models. However, industrial processes always show typical nonstationary nature, which may bring two challenges: how to capture fault degradation information and how to model nonstationary processes. To address the critical issues, a novel fault degradation modeling and online fault prognostic strategy is developed in this paper. First, a fault degradation-oriented slow feature analysis(FDSFA) algorithm is proposed to extract fault degradation directions along which candidate fault degradation features are extracted. The trend ability assessment is then applied to select major fault degradation features. Second, a key fault degradation factor(KFDF) is calculated to characterize the fault degradation tendency by combining major fault degradation features and their stability weighting factors. After that, a time-varying regression model with temporal smoothness regularization is established considering nonstationary characteristics. On the basis of updating strategy, an online fault prognostic model is further developed by analyzing and modeling the prediction errors. The performance of the proposed method is illustrated with a real industrial process.

Cultural Binary Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm and Its Application in Fault Diagnosis

Binary particle swarm optimization algorithm(BPSOA) has the excellent characters such as easy to implement and few set parameters.But it is tendentious to stick in the local optimal solutions and has slow convergence rate when the problem is complex.Cultural algorithm(CA) can exploit knowledge extracted during the search to improve the performance of an evolutionary algorithm and show higher intelligence in treating complicated problems.So it is proposed that integrating binary particle swarm algorithm into cultural algorithm frame to develop a more efficient cultural binary particle swarm algorithm (CBPSOA) for fault feature selection.In CBPSOA,BPSOA is used as the population space of CA;the evolution of belief space adopts crossover,mutation and selection operations;the designs of acceptance function and influence function are improved according to the evolution character of BPSOA.The tests of optimizing functions show the proposed algorithm is valid and effective.Finally,CBPSOA is applied for fault feature selection.The simulations on Tennessee Eastman process (TEP) show the CBPSOA can perform better and more quickly converge than initial BPSOA.And with fault feature selection,more satisfied performance of fault diagnosis is obtained.

Component fault diagnosis for nonlinear systems

In the field of fault diagnosis, the state equation of nonlinear system, including the actuator and the component, has been established. When the faults in the system appear, it is difficult to observe the fault isolation between the actuator and the component. In order to diagnose the component fault in the nonlinear systems, a novel strategy is proposed. The nonlinear state equation with only the component system is built on mathematical equations. The nonlinearity of the component equation is expanded and estimated with Taylor series. If the actuator is perfect, the anomaly of the state equations reflects the component fault. The fault feature index is defined to detect the component fault and the initial fault. The numerical examples of the component faults are simulated for multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)nonlinear systems. The results show that the component faults,as well as the incipient faults, can be detected. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the proposed strategy is verified. This method can also provide a foundation for the component fault reconfiguration control.

Chaos features extracting has important meaning to fault diagnosis of nonlinear system based on nonlinear chaos features. Examples show validity of the proposed method.
