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 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.

Abstract Rolling bearings are important parts of industrial equipment, and their fault diagnosis is crucial to maintaining these equipment’s regular operations. With the goal of improving the fault diagnosis accuracy of rolling bearings under complex working conditions and noise, this study proposes a multiscale information fusion method for fault diagnosis of rolling bearings based on fast Fourier transform (FFT) and variational mode decomposition (VMD), as well as the Senet (SE)-TCNnet (TCN) model. FFT is used to transform the original one-dimensional time domain vibration signal into a frequency domain signal, while VMD is used to decompose the… More >

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.

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 >
