A Method of Rotating Machinery Fault Diagnosis Based on the Close Degree of Information Entropy

This paper presents a method of rotating machinery fault diagnosis based on the close degree of information entropy. In the view of the information entropy, we introduce four information entropy features of the rotating machinery, which describe the vibration condition of the machinery. The four features are, respectively, denominated as singular spectrum entropy, power spectrum entropy, wavelet space state feature entropy and wavelet power spectrum entropy. The value scopes of the four information entropy features of the rotating machinery in some typical fault conditions are gained by experiments, which can be acted as the standard features of fault diagnosis. According to the principle of the shorter distance between the more similar models, the decision-making method based on the close degree of information entropy is put forward to deal with the recognition of fault patterns. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach in an instance involving the fault pattern recognition of some rotating machinery.

Compound fault,as a primary failure leading to unexpected downtime of rotating machinery,dramatically increases the difficulty in fault diagnosis.To deal with the difficulty encountered in implementing compound fault diagnosis(CFD),researchers and engineers from industry and academia have made numerous significant breakthroughs in recent years.Admittedly,many systematic surveys focused on fault diagnosis have been conducted by reputable researchers.Nevertheless,previous review articles paid more attention to fault diagnosis with several single or independent faults,resulting in that there is still lacking a comprehensive survey on CFD.Therefore,to fulfill the above requirements,it is necessary to provide an in-depth overview of fault diagnosis methods or algorithms for compound faults of rotating machinery and uncover potential challenges or opportunities that would guide and inspire readers to devote their efforts to promoting fault diagnosis technology more effective and practical.Specifically,the backgrounds,including the related definitions and a new taxonomy of CFD methods,are detailed according to the way of implementing compound fault recognition.Then,the stateof-the-art applications of CFD are overviewed based on relevant publications in the past decades.Finally,the challenges and opportunities associated with implementing CFD are concluded and followed by a conclusion for ending this survey.We believe that this review article can provide a systematic guideline of CFD from different aspects for potential readers and seasoned researchers.

On Fault Diagnosis of Rotating Machinery Using Wavelet Time-division Scale Level Moment

Based on an in-depth study of wavelet gray moment, we proposed a concept of a time-division scale level moment and gave the specific definition; ulteriorly, we discussed the factors which affected the fault diagnosis ability of a time-division scale level moment.

An Approach to Fault Diagnosis of Rotating Machinery Using the Second-Order Statistical Features of Thermal Images and Simplified Fuzzy ARTMAP

Thermal image, or thermogram, becomes a new type of signal for machine condition monitoring and fault diagnosis due to the capability to display real-time temperature distribution and possibility to indicate the machine’s operating condition through its temperature. In this paper, an investigation of using the second-order statistical features of thermogram in association with minimum redundancy maximum relevance (mRMR) feature selection and simplified fuzzy ARTMAP (SFAM) classification is conducted for rotating machinery fault diagnosis. The thermograms of different machine conditions are firstly preprocessed for improving the image contrast, removing noise, and cropping to obtain the regions of interest (ROIs). Then, an enhanced algorithm based on bi-dimensional empirical mode decomposition is implemented to further increase the quality of ROIs before the second-order statistical features are extracted from their gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). The highly relevant features to the machine condition are selected from the total feature set by mRMR and are fed into SFAM to accomplish the fault diagnosis. In order to verify this investigation, the thermograms acquired from different conditions of a fault simulator including normal, misalignment, faulty bearing, and mass unbalance are used. This investigation also provides a comparative study of SFAM and other traditional methods such as back-propagation and probabilistic neural networks. The results show that the second-order statistical features used in this framework can provide a plausible accuracy in fault diagnosis of rotating machinery.

Crude rules were extracted and the corresponding dependent factors and antecedent coverage factors were calculated firstly from the diagnostic sample based on rough sets theory. Then the number of rules was used to construct partially the structure of a fuzzy neural network and those factors were implemented as initial weights, with fuzzy output parameters being optimized by genetic algorithm. Such fuzzy neural network was called KBFNN. This KBFNN was utilized to identify typical faults of rotating machinery. Diagnostic results show that it has those merits of shorter training time and higher right diagnostic level compared to general fuzzy neural networks.

Improved CICA Algorithm Used for Single Channel Compound Fault Diagnosis of Rolling Bearings

A Compound fault signal usually contains multiple characteristic signals and strong confusion noise, which makes it difficult to separate week fault signals from them through conventional ways, such as FFT-based envelope detection, wavelet transform or empirical mode decomposition individually. In order to realize single channel compound fault diagnosis of bearings and improve the diagnosis accuracy, an improved CICA algorithm named constrained independent component analysis based on the energy method （E-CICA） is proposed. With the approach, the single channel vibration signal is firstly decomposed into several wavelet coefficients by discrete wavelet transform（DWT） method for the purpose of obtaining multichannel signals. Then the envelope signals of the reconstructed wavelet coefficients are selected as the input of E-CICA algorithm, which fulfills the requirements that the number of sensors is greater than or equal to that of the source signals and makes it more suitable to be processed by CICA strategy. The frequency energy ratio（ER） of each wavelet reconstructed signal to the total energy of the given synchronous signal is calculated, and then the synchronous signal with maximum ER value is set as the reference signal accordingly. By this way, the reference signal contains a priori knowledge of fault source signal and the influence on fault signal extraction accuracy which is caused by the initial phase angle and the duty ratio of the reference signal in the traditional CICA algorithm is avoided. Experimental results show that E-CICA algorithm can effectively separate out the outer-race defect and the rollers defect from the single channel compound fault and fulfill the needs of compound fault diagnosis of rolling bearings, and the running time is 0.12% of that of the traditional CICA algorithm and the extraction accuracy is 1.4 times of that of CICA as well. The proposed research provides a new method to separate single channel compound fault signals.

Comparative Study of Combined Fault Diagnosis Schemes Based on Convolutional Neural Network

In this paper, comparative combined fault diagnosis schemes are studied including vibration analysis, acoustic signal analysis and thermal image analysis based on the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The advantage of the CNN structure is that it does not need manual feature extraction or selection, which requires prior knowledge of specific machinery dynamics. The vibration and acoustic signals were transformed into spectrograms, which are effective for the diagnostic analysis by using CNN. Comparatively, the thermal images were directly analyzed using CNN. The effectiveness of the CNN-based diagnosis methods was investigated through the analysis of different experimental data, i.e., vibration, acoustic signals and thermal images, which were collected from a test rig where different types of faults are induced on the roller bearing and shaft. The results show that the thermal image analysis and acoustic signal analysis could achieve relatively higher accuracy rate compared to vibration analysis. Moreover, the advantage is easy-deployment because of the non-contact way during signal acquisition. With the CNN-based fault diagnosis method for the three different signals collected, the accuracy of different signal predictions for combined faults can be compared, and the effective method can be applied to fault diagnosis of other industrial rotating machinery.

A Comprehensive 3-Steps Methodology for Vibration-Based Fault Detection,Diagnosis and Localization in Rotating Machines

In any industry,it is the requirement to know whether the machine is healthy or not to operate machine further.If the machine is not healthy then what is the fault in the machine and then finally its location.The paper is proposing a 3-Steps methodology for the machine fault diagnosis to meet the industrial requirements to aid the maintenance activity.The Step-1 identifies whether machine is healthy or faulty,then Step-2 detect the type of defect and finally its location in Step-3.This method is extended further from the earlier study on the 2-Steps method for the rotor defects only to the 3-Steps methodology to both rotor and bearing defects.The method uses the optimised vibration parameters and a simple Artificial Neural Network(ANN)-based Machine Learning(ML)model from the earlier studies.The model is initially developed,tested and validated on an experimental rotating rig operating at a speed above 1st critical speed.The proposed method and model are then further validated at 2 different operating speeds,one below 1st critical speed and other above 2nd critical speed.The machine dynamics are expected to be significantly different at these speeds.This highlights the robustness of the proposed 3-Steps method.
