Intelligent Fault Diagnosis Method of Rolling Bearings Based on Transfer Residual Swin Transformer with Shifted Windows

Due to their robust learning and expression ability for complex features,the deep learning(DL)model plays a vital role in bearing fault diagnosis.However,since there are fewer labeled samples in fault diagnosis,the depth of DL models in fault diagnosis is generally shallower than that of DL models in other fields,which limits the diagnostic performance.To solve this problem,a novel transfer residual Swin Transformer(RST)is proposed for rolling bearings in this paper.RST has 24 residual self-attention layers,which use the hierarchical design and the shifted window-based residual self-attention.Combined with transfer learning techniques,the transfer RST model uses pre-trained parameters from ImageNet.A new end-to-end method for fault diagnosis based on deep transfer RST is proposed.Firstly,wavelet transform transforms the vibration signal into a wavelet time-frequency diagram.The signal’s time-frequency domain representation can be represented simultaneously.Secondly,the wavelet time-frequency diagram is the input of the RST model to obtain the fault type.Finally,our method is verified on public and self-built datasets.Experimental results show the superior performance of our method by comparing it with a shallow neural network.

Aiming at the problem of energy storage unit failure in the spring operating mechanism of low voltage circuit breakers(LVCBs).A fault diagnosis algorithm based on an improved Sparrow Search Algorithm(ISSA)optimized Backpropagation Neural Network(BPNN)is proposed to improve the operational safety of LVCB.Taking the 1.5kV/4000A/75kA LVCB as an example.According to the current operating characteristics of the energy storage motor,fault characteristics are extracted based on Empirical Wavelet Transform(EWT).Traditional BPNN has problems such as difficulty adjusting network weights and thresholds,being sensitive to initial weights,and quickly falling into local optimal solutions.The Sparrow Search Algorithm(SSA)with self-adjusting weight factors combined with bidirectional mutations is added to optimize the selection of BPNN hyperparameters.The results show that the ISSA-BPNN can accurately and quickly distinguish six conditions of motor voltage reduction:motor voltage increase,motor voltage decrease,energy storage spring stuck,transmission gear stuck,regular state and energy storage spring not locked.It is suitable for fault diagnosis and detection of the energy storage part of LVCB.

Visualization for Explanation of Deep Learning-Based Fault Diagnosis Model Using Class Activation Map

Permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM)is widely used in various production processes because of its high efficiency,fast reaction time,and high power density.With the continuous promotion of new energy vehicles,timely detection of PMSM faults can significantly reduce the accident rate of new energy vehicles,further enhance consumers’trust in their safety,and thus promote their popularity.Existing fault diagnosis methods based on deep learning can only distinguish different PMSM faults and cannot interpret and analyze them.Convolutional neural networks(CNN)show remarkable accuracy in image data analysis.However,due to the“black box”problem in deep learning models,the diagnostic results regarding providing accurate information to the user are uncertain.This paper proposes a motor fault diagnosis method based on improved deep residual network(ResNet)and gradient-weighted class activation mapping(Grad-CAM)to analyze demagnetization and eccentricity faults of permanent magnet synchronous motors,and the uncertainty limitation of fault diagnosis based on the convolutional neural network is overcome by the visual interpretation method.The improved ResNet is formed by using ResNet9 as the backbone network,replacing the last convolution layer with a atrous spatial pyramid pooling(ASPP),and adding a multi-scale feature fusion module and attention channel mechanism(CAM).The proposed model not only retains the effective extraction of image features by ResNet9 but also enhances the sensitivity field of the network through the hollow convolution pyramid and realizes the feature fusion of the web on different scales through the multi-scale feature fusion module(MSFFM),further improving the diagnostic accuracy of the network on different types of fault features.The diagnostic effect of the network is verified on the selfmade data set,which mainly includes five states:normal(He),25%demagnetization(De25),50%demagnetization(De50),10%static eccentricity(Se10),and 20%static eccentricity(Se20).The number of pictures in the training set is 6000,and the number in the test set is 1500.The average diagnostic accuracy of the improved ResNet on this dataset is 99.00%,which is 1.04%,8.89%,4.58%,and 7.22%higher than that of the multi-column convolutional neural network(MCNN),Bi-directional long short-term memory(Bi-LSTM),deep belief network(DBN),and recurrent neural network(RNN)models,respectively.Finally,gradient activation heat maps were used to globally average pool the final output feature map of the network to obtain feature weights.They were superimposed with the original image to get gradient activation heat maps of different grayscale images.The warmer the tone of the heat map,the greater the impact on the network diagnosis results,and then the demagnetization and eccentricity fault characteristics of the permanent magnet synchronous motor were determined-visual characterization of quantitative analysis.

Rolling Bearing Fault Diagnosis Based On Convolutional Capsule Network

Fault diagnosis technology has been widely applied and is an important part of ensuring the safe operation of mechanical equipment.In response to the problem of frequent faults in rolling bearings,this paper designs a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on convolutional capsule network(CCN).More specifically,the original vibration signal is converted into a two-dimensional time–frequency image using continuous wavelet transform(CWT),and the feature extraction is performed on the two-dimensional time–frequency image using the convolution layer at the front end of the network,and the extracted features are input into the capsule network.The capsule network converts the extracted features into vector neurons,and the dynamic routing algorithm is used to achieve feature transfer and output the results of fault diagnosis.Two different datasets are used to compare with other traditional deep learning models to verify the fault diagnosis capability of the method.The results show that the CCN has good diagnostic capability under different working conditions,even in the presence of noise and insufficient samples,compared to other models.This method contributes to the safe and reliable operation of mechanical equipment and is suitable for other rotating scenarios.

Improved BP Neural Network for Transformer Fault Diagnosis

The back propagation (BP)-based artificial neural nets (ANN) can identify complicated relationships among dissolved gas contents in transformer oil and corresponding fault types, using the highly nonlinear mapping nature of the neural nets. An efficient BP-ALM (BP with Adaptive Learning Rate and Momentum coefficient) algorithm is proposed to reduce the training time and avoid being trapped into local minima, where the learning rate and the momentum coefficient are altered at iterations. We developed a system of transformer fault diagnosis based on Dissolved Gases Analysis (DGA) with a BP-ALM algorithm. Training patterns were selected from the results of a Refined Three-Ratio method (RTR). Test results show that the system has a better ability of quick learning and global convergence than other methods and a superior performance in fault diagnosis compared to convectional BP-based neural networks and RTR.

Structural modal parameter identifi cation and damage diagnosis based on Hilbert-Huang transform

Traditional modal parameter identifi cation methods have many disadvantages,especially when used for processing nonlinear and non-stationary signals.In addition,they are usually not able to accurately identify the damping ratio and damage.In this study,methods based on the Hilbert-Huang transform(HHT) are investigated for structural modal parameter identifi cation and damage diagnosis.First,mirror extension and prediction via a radial basis function(RBF) neural network are used to restrain the troublesome end-effect issue in empirical mode decomposition(EMD),which is a crucial part of HHT.Then,the approaches based on HHT combined with other techniques,such as the random decrement technique(RDT),natural excitation technique(NExT) and stochastic subspace identifi cation(SSI),are proposed to identify modal parameters of structures.Furthermore,a damage diagnosis method based on the HHT is also proposed.Time-varying instantaneous frequency and instantaneous energy are used to identify the damage evolution of the structure.The relative amplitude of the Hilbert marginal spectrum is used to identify the damage location of the structure.Finally,acceleration records at gauge points from shaking table testing of a 12-story reinforced concrete frame model are taken to validate the proposed approaches.The results show that the proposed approaches based on HHT for modal parameter identifi cation and damage diagnosis are reliable and practical.

Generalized Demodulation Transform for Bearing Fault Diagnosis Under Nonstationary Conditions and Gear Noise Interferences

It is a challenging issue to detect bearing fault under nonstationary conditions and gear noise interferences. Meanwhile, the application of the traditional methods is limited by their deficiencies in the aspect of computational accuracy and e ciency, or dependence on the tachometer. Hence, a new fault diagnosis strategy is proposed to remove gear interferences and spectrum smearing phenomenon without the tachometer and angular resampling technique. In this method, the instantaneous dominant meshing multiple(IDMM) is firstly extracted from the time-frequency representation(TFR) of the raw signal, which can be used to calculate the phase functions(PF) and the frequency points(FP). Next, the resonance frequency band excited by the faulty bearing is obtained by the band-pass filter. Furthermore, based on the PFs, the generalized demodulation transform(GDT) is applied to the envelope of the filtered signal. Finally, the target bearing is diagnosed by matching the peaks in the spectra of demodulated signals with the theoretical FPs. The analysis results of simulated and experimental signal demonstrate that the proposed method is an e ective and reliable tool for bearing fault diagnosis without the tachometer and the angular resampling.

Fault diagnosis of electric transformers based on infrared image processing and semi-supervised learning

It is crucial to maintain the safe and stable operation of distribution transformers,which constitute a key part of power systems.In the event of transformer failure,the fault type must be diagnosed in a timely and accurate manner.To this end,a transformer fault diagnosis method based on infrared image processing and semi-supervised learning is proposed herein.First,we perform feature extraction on the collected infrared-image data to extract temperature,texture,and shape features as the model reference vectors.Then,a generative adversarial network(GAN)is constructed to generate synthetic samples for the minority subset of labelled samples.The proposed method can learn information from unlabeled sample data,unlike conventional supervised learning methods.Subsequently,a semi-supervised graph model is trained on the entire dataset,i.e.,both labeled and unlabeled data.Finally,we test the proposed model on an actual dataset collected from a Chinese electricity provider.The experimental results show that the use of feature extraction,sample generation,and semi-supervised learning model can improve the accuracy of transformer fault classification.This verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method.

And the proposed method was verified with the experimental data. The results show that accuracy rate of the diagnosis method exceeds 90% and two kinds of faults can be detected at the same time.

Rotor broken bar fault diagnosis for induction motors based on double PQ transformation

A new rotor broken bar fault diagnosis method for induction motors based on the double PQ transformation is pre-sented. By distinguishing the different patterns of the PQ components in the PQ plane,the rotor broken bar fault can be detected. The magnitude of power component directly resulted from rotor fault is used as the fault indicator and the distance between the point of no-load condition and the center of the ellipse as its normalization value. Based on these,the fault severity factor which is completely independent of the inertia and load level is defined. Moreover,a method to reliably discriminate between rotor faults and periodic load fluctuation is presented. Experimental results from a 4 kW induction motor demonstrated the validity of the proposed method.

Wavelet Transform and Neural Networks in Fault Diagnosis of a Motor Rotor

In the motor fault diagnosis technique, vibration and stator current frequency components of detection are two main means. This article will discuss the signal detection method based on vibration fault. Because the motor vibration signal is a non-stationary random signal, fault signals often contain a lot of time-varying, burst proper- ties of ingredients. The traditional Fourier signal analysis can not effectively extract the motor fault characteristics, but are also likely to be rich in failure information but a weak signal as noise. Therefore, we introduce wavelet packet transforms to extract the fault characteristics of the signal information. Obtained was the result as the neural network input signal, using the L-M neural network optimization method for training, and then used the BP net- work for fault recognition. This paper uses Matlab software to simulate and confirmed the method of motor fault di- agnosis validity and accuracy

Noise is the biggest obstacle that makes the incipient fault diagnosis results of roller bearings uncorrected; a new method for diagnosing incipient fault of roller bearings based on the Wavelet Transform Correlation Filter and Hilbert Transform was proposed. First, the weak fault information features are picked up from the roller bearings fault vibration signals by use of a de-noising characteristic of the Wavelet Transform Correlation Filter as the preprocessing of the Hilbert Envelope Analysis. Then, in order to get fault features frequency, de-noised wavelet coefficients of high scales which represent high frequency signal were analyzed by Hilbert Envelope Spectrum Analysis. The simulation signals and diagnosing examples analysis results reveal that the proposed method is more effective than the method of direct wavelet coefficients-Hilbert Transform in de-noising and clarifying roller bearing incipient fault.
