Abstract

To enhance the performance of deep auto-encoder (AE) under complex working conditions, a novel deep auto-encoder network method for rolling bearing fault diagnosis is proposed in this paper. First, multiscale analysis is adopted to extract the multiscale features from the raw vibration signals of rolling bearing. Second, the sparse penalty term and contractive penalty term are used simultaneously to regularize the loss function of auto-encoder to enhance the feature learning ability of networks. Finally, the cuckoo search algorithm (CS) is used to find the optimal hyperparameters automatically. The proposed method is applied to the experimental data analysis. The results indicate that the proposed method could more effectively distinguish fault categories and severities of rolling bearings under different working conditions than other methods.

Highlights

  • Rolling bearings are widely used in rotary machines, which play an important role in determining the running states of equipment

  • It is indicated that the sparse penalty term and the contractive penalty term are applied to the loss function of the stacked AE at the same time, which can obtain more satisfactory diagnosis results

  • A novel deep AE network is proposed for rolling bearing fault diagnosis

Summary

Introduction

Rolling bearings are widely used in rotary machines, which play an important role in determining the running states of equipment. Erefore, it has important practical significance for the state monitoring and fault diagnosis of rolling bearings [1]. The vibration analysis method has been widely used in fault diagnosis of rolling bearings, which generally contains three steps: (1) feature extraction, (2) feature selection, and (3) pattern recognition [2]. For (1), the effectiveness of feature extraction is related to the accuracy of fault diagnosis. E common feature extraction method mainly includes time-domain methods, frequency-domain methods, and time-frequency methods. The most popular methods are the statistical analysis [3], such as root mean square, root amplitude, and maximum peak value. For (3), the selected features are classified by Bayesian classification [10], support vector machines (SVM) [11], artificial neural network (ANN) [12], and other machine learning algorithms
