Abstract The capacity to diagnose faults in rolling bearings is of significant practical importance to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. Frequency-domain features can effectively enhance the identification of fault modes. However, existing methods often suffer from insufficient frequency-domain representation in practical applications, which greatly affects diagnostic performance. Therefore, this paper proposes a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on a Multi-Scale Fusion Network (MSFN) using the Time-Division Fourier Transform (TDFT). The method constructs multi-scale channels to extract time-domain and frequency-domain features of the signal in parallel. A multi-level, multi-scale filter-based approach is designed to More >

Abstract An intelligent diagnosis method based on self-adaptive Wasserstein dual generative adversarial networks and feature fusion is proposed due to problems such as insufficient sample size and incomplete fault feature extraction, which are commonly faced by rolling bearings and lead to low diagnostic accuracy. Initially, dual models of the Wasserstein deep convolutional generative adversarial network incorporating gradient penalty (1D-2DWDCGAN) are constructed to augment the original dataset. A self-adaptive loss threshold control training strategy is introduced, and establishing a self-adaptive balancing mechanism for stable model training. Subsequently, a diagnostic model based on multidimensional feature fusion is designed,… More >

Abstract As smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0 continue to evolve, fault diagnosis of mechanical equipment has become crucial for ensuring production safety and optimizing equipment utilization. To address the challenge of cross-domain adaptation in intelligent diagnostic models under varying operational conditions, this paper introduces the CNN-1D-KAN model, which combines a 1D Convolutional Neural Network (1D-CNN) with a Kolmogorov–Arnold Network (KAN). The novelty of this approach lies in replacing the traditional 1D-CNN’s final fully connected layer with a KANLinear layer, leveraging KAN’s advanced nonlinear processing and function approximation capabilities while maintaining the simplicity of linear transformations.

Abstract Rolling bearings are important parts of industrial equipment, and their fault diagnosis is crucial to maintaining these equipment’s regular operations.

Abstract To address the issues of slow diagnostic speed, low accuracy, and poor generalization performance in traditional rolling bearing fault diagnosis methods, we propose a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on Markov Transition Field (MTF) image encoding combined with a lightweight convolutional neural network that integrates a Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM-LCNN).

Abstract The remaining useful life prediction of rolling bearing is vital in safety and reliability guarantee. In engineering scenarios, only a small amount of bearing performance degradation data can be obtained through accelerated life testing. In the absence of lifetime data, the hidden long-term correlation between performance degradation data is challenging to mine effectively, which is the main factor that restricts the prediction precision and engineering application of the residual life prediction method. To address this problem, a novel method based on the multi-layer perception neural network and bidirectional long short-term memory network is proposed. Firstly,… More >

Abstract The vibration signals of rolling bearings exhibit nonlinear and non-stationary characteristics under the influence of noise. In intelligent fault diagnosis, unprocessed signals will lead to weak fault characteristics and low diagnostic accuracy. To solve the above problem, a fault diagnosis method based on parameter optimization feature mode decomposition and improved deep belief networks is proposed. The feature mode decomposition is used to decompose the vibration signals. The parameter adaptation of feature mode decomposition is implemented by improved whale optimization algorithm including Levy flight strategy and adaptive weight.

Abstract 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 More >
