    A Deep Learning Approach for Fault Diagnosis in Centrifugal Pumps through Wavelet Coherent Analysis and S-Transform Scalograms with CNN-KAN

    Muhammad Farooq Siddique, Saif Ullah, Jong-Myon Kim
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.84, No.2, pp. 3577-3603, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2025.065326

    Abstract Centrifugal Pumps (CPs) are critical machine components in many industries, and their efficient operation and reliable Fault Diagnosis (FD) are essential for minimizing downtime and maintenance costs. This paper introduces a novel FD method to improve both the accuracy and reliability of detecting potential faults in such pumps. The proposed method combines Wavelet Coherent Analysis (WCA) and Stockwell Transform (S-transform) scalograms with Sobel and non-local means filters, effectively capturing complex fault signatures from vibration signals. Using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for feature extraction, the method transforms these scalograms into image inputs, enabling the recognition of More >

    Rolling Bearing Fault Diagnosis Based on Cross-Attention Fusion WDCNN and BILSTM

    Yingyong Zou, Xingkui Zhang, Tao Liu, Yu Zhang, Long Li, Wenzhuo Zhao
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.83, No.3, pp. 4699-4723, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2025.062625

    Abstract High-speed train engine rolling bearings play a crucial role in maintaining engine health and minimizing operational losses during train operation. To solve the problems of low accuracy of the diagnostic model and unstable model due to the influence of noise during fault detection, a rolling bearing fault diagnosis model based on cross-attention fusion of WDCNN and BILSTM is proposed. The first layer of the wide convolutional kernel deep convolutional neural network (WDCNN) is used to extract the local features of the signal and suppress the high-frequency noise. A Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory Network (BILSTM) is… More >

    Steel Surface Defect Detection Using Learnable Memory Vision Transformer

    Syed Tasnimul Karim Ayon, Farhan Md. Siraj, Jia Uddin
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.82, No.1, pp. 499-520, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2025.058361
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Advancements in Machine Fault Diagnosis and Prognosis: Data-Driven Approaches and Autonomous Systems)
    Abstract This study investigates the application of Learnable Memory Vision Transformers (LMViT) for detecting metal surface flaws, comparing their performance with traditional CNNs, specifically ResNet18 and ResNet50, as well as other transformer-based models including Token to Token ViT, ViT without memory, and Parallel ViT. Leveraging a widely-used steel surface defect dataset, the research applies data augmentation and t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) to enhance feature extraction and understanding. These techniques mitigated overfitting, stabilized training, and improved generalization capabilities. The LMViT model achieved a test accuracy of 97.22%, significantly outperforming ResNet18 (88.89%) and ResNet50 (88.90%), as well… More >
