Weak Fault Feature Extraction of the Rotating Machinery Using Flexible Analytic Wavelet Transform and Nonlinear Quantum Permutation Entropy

Addressing the challenges posed by the nonlinear and non-stationary vibrations in rotating machinery,where weak fault characteristic signals hinder accurate fault state representation,we propose a novel feature extraction method that combines the Flexible Analytic Wavelet Transform(FAWT)with Nonlinear Quantum Permutation Entropy.FAWT,leveraging fractional orders and arbitrary scaling and translation factors,exhibits superior translational invariance and adjustable fundamental oscillatory characteristics.This flexibility enables FAWT to provide well-suited wavelet shapes,effectively matching subtle fault components and avoiding performance degradation associated with fixed frequency partitioning and low-oscillation bases in detecting weak faults.In our approach,gearbox vibration signals undergo FAWT to obtain sub-bands.Quantum theory is then introduced into permutation entropy to propose Nonlinear Quantum Permutation Entropy,a feature that more accurately characterizes the operational state of vibration simulation signals.The nonlinear quantum permutation entropy extracted from sub-bands is utilized to characterize the operating state of rotating machinery.A comprehensive analysis of vibration signals from rolling bearings and gearboxes validates the feasibility of the proposed method.Comparative assessments with parameters derived from traditional permutation entropy,sample entropy,wavelet transform(WT),and empirical mode decomposition(EMD)underscore the superior effectiveness of this approach in fault detection and classification for rotating machinery.

Research on Rotating Machinery Fault Diagnosis Based on Improved Multi-target Domain Adversarial Network

Aiming at the problems of low efficiency,poor anti-noise and robustness of transfer learning model in intelligent fault diagnosis of rotating machinery,a new method of intelligent fault diagnosis of rotating machinery based on single source and multi-target domain adversarial network model(WDMACN)and Gram Angle Product field(GAPF)was proposed.Firstly,the original one-dimensional vibration signal is preprocessed using GAPF to generate the image data including all time series.Secondly,the residual network is used to extract data features,and the features of the target domain without labels are pseudo-labeled,and the transferable features among the feature extractors are shared through the depth parameter,and the feature extractors of the multi-target domain are updated anatomically to generate the features that the discriminator cannot distinguish.The modelt through adversarial domain adaptation,thus achieving fault classification.Finally,a large number of validations were carried out on the bearing data set of Case Western Reserve University(CWRU)and the gear data.The results show that the proposed method can greatly improve the diagnostic efficiency of the model,and has good noise resistance and generalization.

Compound Fault Diagnosis for Rotating Machinery:State-of-the-Art,Challenges,and Opportunities

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.

A Multi-mode Electronic Load Sensing Control Scheme with Power Limitation and Pressure Cut-off for Mobile Machinery

In mobile machinery,hydro-mechanical pumps are increasingly replaced by electronically controlled pumps to improve the automation level,but diversified control functions(e.g.,power limitation and pressure cut-off)are integrated into the electronic controller only from the pump level,leading to the potential instability of the overall system.To solve this problem,a multi-mode electrohydraulic load sensing(MELS)control scheme is proposed especially considering the switching stability from the system level,which includes four working modes of flow control,load sensing,power limitation,and pressure control.Depending on the actual working requirements,the switching rules for the different modes and the switching direction(i.e.,the modes can be switched bilaterally or unilaterally)are defined.The priority of different modes is also defined,from high to low:pressure control,power limitation,load sensing,and flow control.When multiple switching rules are satisfied at the same time,the system switches to the control mode with the highest priority.In addition,the switching stability between flow control and pressure control modes is analyzed,and the controller parameters that guarantee the switching stability are obtained.A comparative study is carried out based on a test rig with a 2-ton hydraulic excavator.The results show that the MELS controller can achieve the control functions of proper flow supplement,power limitation,and pressure cut-off,which has good stability performance when switching between different control modes.This research proposes the MELS control method that realizes the stability of multi-mode switching of the hydraulic system of mobile machinery under different working conditions.

Cavitation Diagnostics Based on Self-Tuning VMD for Fluid Machinery with Low-SNR Conditions

Variational mode decomposition(VMD)is a suitable tool for processing cavitation-induced vibration signals and is greatly affected by two parameters:the decomposed number K and penalty factorαunder strong noise interference.To solve this issue,this study proposed self-tuning VMD(SVMD)for cavitation diagnostics in fluid machinery,with a special focus on low signal-to-noise ratio conditions.A two-stage progressive refinement of the coarsely located target penalty factor for SVMD was conducted to narrow down the search space for accelerated decomposition.A hybrid optimized sparrow search algorithm(HOSSA)was developed for optimalαfine-tuning in a refined space based on fault-type-guided objective functions.Based on the submodes obtained using exclusive penalty factors in each iteration,the cavitation-related characteristic frequencies(CCFs)were extracted for diagnostics.The power spectrum correlation coefficient between the SVMD reconstruction and original signals was employed as a stop criterion to determine whether to stop further decomposition.The proposed SVMD overcomes the blindness of setting the mode number K in advance and the drawback of sharing penalty factors for all submodes in fixed-parameter and parameter-optimized VMDs.Comparisons with other existing methods in simulation signal decomposition and in-lab experimental data demonstrated the advantages of the proposed method in accurately extracting CCFs with lower computational cost.SVMD especially enhances the denoising capability of the VMD-based method.

Using Digital Twin to Diagnose Faults in Braiding Machinery Based on IoT

The digital twin(DT)includes real-time data analytics based on the actual product or manufacturing processing parameters.Data from digital twins can predict asset maintenance requirements ahead of time.This saves money by decreasing operating expenses and asset downtime,which improves company efficiency.In this paper,a digital twin in braiding machinery based on IoT(DTBM-IoT)used to diagnose faults.When an imbalance fault occurs,the system gathers experimental data.After that,the information is sent into a digital win model of the rotor system to see whether it can quantify and locate imbalance for defect detection.It is possible to anticipate asset maintenance requirements with DT technology by IoT(Internet of Things)sensors,XR(X-Ray)capabilities,and AI-powered analytics.A DT model’s appropriate design and flexibility remain difficult because of the nonlinear dynamics and unpre-dictability inherent in the degrading process of equipment.The results indicate that the DT in braiding machinery developed allows for precise diagnostic and dynamic deterioration analysis.At least there is 37%growth in efficiency over conventional approaches.
