Abstract
Data-driven artificial intelligence models play an important role in mechanical fault diagnosis. Generally, it is difficult to collect relative complete fault samples, which limits the application of artificial intelligence models for complex mechanical systems. To address this issue, numerical model-based or called physical model-based fault sample generation methods attracted many attentions but still an open problem: the difference in fault samples between numerical simulation and measurement of a physical system needs to be well decreased. Therefore, a noise generative network (NGN) for mechanical fault classification is developed. First, the NGN is trained using the simulation and measurement normal samples. The simulation fault samples are further fed into the trained NGN to obtain more solid simulation fault samples with minor differences from measurements of mechanical systems with faults. Second, deep convolutional neural network is trained by solid simulation fault samples, and the test samples of unknown fault types will be finally recognized. Finally, validation experiments using rotation vector reducers, bearings, and rotors classified test samples with average accuracies of 99.5%, 95.7%, and 99.9%, respectively. They indicate that the proposed NGN model effectively reduces the difference between the simulation and measurement samples to lead more precision results for fault classification in mechanical systems.
