A Fault Detection Method for Electric Vehicle Battery System Based on Bayesian Optimization SVDD Considering a Few Faulty Samples

Accurate and reliable fault detection is essential for the safe operation of electric vehicles.Support vector data description(SVDD)has been widely used in the field of fault detection.However,constructing the hypersphere boundary only describes the distribution of unlabeled samples,while the distribution of faulty samples cannot be effectively described and easilymisses detecting faulty data due to the imbalance of sample distribution.Meanwhile,selecting parameters is critical to the detection performance,and empirical parameterization is generally timeconsuming and laborious and may not result in finding the optimal parameters.Therefore,this paper proposes a semi-supervised data-driven method based on which the SVDD algorithm is improved and achieves excellent fault detection performance.By incorporating faulty samples into the underlying SVDD model,training deals better with the problem of missing detection of faulty samples caused by the imbalance in the distribution of abnormal samples,and the hypersphere boundary ismodified to classify the samplesmore accurately.The Bayesian Optimization NSVDD(BO-NSVDD)model was constructed to quickly and accurately optimize hyperparameter combinations.In the experiments,electric vehicle operation data with four common fault types are used to evaluate the performance with other five models,and the results show that the BO-NSVDD model presents superior detection performance for each type of fault data,especially in the imperceptible early and minor faults,which has seen very obvious advantages.Finally,the strong robustness of the proposed method is verified by adding different intensities of noise in the dataset.

A Fault Sample Simulation Approach for Virtual Testability Demonstration Test

Virtual testability demonstration test has many advantages,such as low cost,high efficiency,low risk and few restrictions.It brings new requirements to the fault sample generation.A fault sample simulation approach for virtual testability demonstration test based on stochastic process theory is proposed.First,the similarities and differences of fault sample generation between physical testability demonstration test and virtual testability demonstration test are discussed.Second,it is pointed out that the fault occurrence process subject to perfect repair is renewal process.Third,the interarrival time distribution function of the next fault event is given.Steps and flowcharts of fault sample generation are introduced.The number of faults and their occurrence time are obtained by statistical simulation.Finally,experiments are carried out on a stable tracking platform.Because a variety of types of life distributions and maintenance modes are considered and some assumptions are removed,the sample size and structure of fault sample simulation results are more similar to the actual results and more reasonable.The proposed method can effectively guide the fault injection in virtual testability demonstration test.

Multi-scale morphology analysis of acoustic emission signal and quantitative diagnosis for bearing fault

Monitoring of potential bearing faults in operation is of critical importance to safe operation of high speed trains.One of the major challenges is how to differentiate relevant signals to operational conditions of bearings from noises emitted from the surrounding environment.In this work,we report a procedure for analyzing acoustic emission signals collected from rolling bearings for diagnosis of bearing health conditions by examining their morphological pattern spectrum（MPS） through a multi-scale morphology analysis procedure.The results show that acoustic emission signals resulted from a given type of bearing faults share rather similar MPS curves.Further examinations in terms of sample entropy and Lempel-Ziv complexity of MPS curves suggest that these two parameters can be utilized to determine damage modes.

A novel minority sample fault diagnosis method based on multisource data enhancement

Effective fault diagnosis has a crucial impact on the safety and cost of complex manufacturing systems.However,the complex structure of the collected multisource data and scarcity of fault samples make it difficult to accurately identify multiple fault conditions.To address this challenge,this paper proposes a novel deep-learning model for multisource data augmentation and small sample fault diagnosis.The raw multisource data are first converted into two-dimensional images using the Gramian Angular Field,and a generator is built to transform random noise into images through transposed convolution operations.Then,two discriminators are constructed to evaluate the authenticity of input images and the fault diagnosis ability.The Vision Transformer network is built to diagnose faults and obtain the classification error for the discriminator.Furthermore,a global optimization strategy is designed to upgrade parameters in the model.The discriminators and generator compete with each other until Nash equilibrium is achieved.A real-world multistep forging machine is adopted to compare and validate the performance of different methods.The experimental results indicate that the proposed method has multisource data augmentation and minority sample fault diagnosis capabilities.Compared with other state-of-the-art models,the proposed approach has better fault diagnosis accuracy in various scenarios.
