Supervised Manifold Learning Based on Multi-Feature Information Discriminative Fusion within an Adaptive Nearest Neighbor Strategy Applied to Rolling Bearing Fault Diagnosis.

Abstract

Rolling bearings are a key component for ensuring the safe and smooth operation of rotating machinery and are very prone to failure. Therefore, intelligent fault diagnosis research on rolling bearings has become a crucial task in the field of mechanical fault diagnosis. This paper proposes research on the fault diagnosis of rolling bearings based on an adaptive nearest neighbor strategy and the discriminative fusion of multi-feature information using supervised manifold learning (AN-MFIDFS-Isomap). Firstly, an adaptive nearest neighbor strategy is proposed using the Euclidean distance and cosine similarity to optimize the selection of neighboring points. Secondly, three feature space transformation and feature information extraction methods are proposed, among which an innovative exponential linear kernel function is introduced to provide new feature information descriptions for the data, enhancing feature sensitivity. Finally, under the adaptive nearest neighbor strategy, a novel AN-MFIDFS-Isomap algorithm is proposed for rolling bearing fault diagnosis by fusing various feature information and classifiers through discriminative fusion with label information. The proposed AN-MFIDFS-Isomap algorithm is validated on the CWRU open dataset and our experimental dataset. The experiments show that the proposed method outperforms other traditional manifold learning methods in terms of data clustering and fault diagnosis.
