Monitoring the condition of rolling bearings is a crucial task in many industries. An efficient tool for diagnosing bearing defects is necessary since they can lead to complete machine failure and significant economic losses. Traditional diagnosis solutions often rely on a complex artificial feature extraction process that is time-consuming, computationally expensive, and too complex to deploy in practice. In actual working conditions, however, the amount of labeled fault data available is relatively small, so a deep learning model with good generalization and high accuracy is difficult to train. This paper proposes a solution that uses a simple feedforward artificial neural network (NN) for classification and adopts the linear predictive coding (LPC) algorithm for feature extraction. The LPC algorithm finds several coefficients for a given signal segment containing information about the signal spectrum, which is sufficient for further classification. The LPC-NN solution was tested on the Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) and South Ural State University (SUSU) datasets. The results demonstrated that, in most cases, LPC-NN yielded an accuracy of 100%. The proposed method achieves higher diagnostic accuracy and stability to load changes than other advanced techniques, has a significantly improved time performance, and is conducive to real-time industrial fault diagnosis.

Rotating mechanical systems (RMSs) are widely applied in various industrial fields. Intelligent fault diagnosis technology plays a significant role in improving the reliability and safety of industrial equipment. A new algorithm based on improved multiscale fuzzy entropy and support vector machine (IMFE-SVM) is proposed for the automatic diagnosis of various fault types in elevator rotating mechanical systems. First, the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) method is utilized to construct a decomposition model of the vibration data for the extraction of relevant parameters related to the fault feature. Secondly, the improved multiscale fuzzy entropy (IMFE) model is employed, where the scale factor of the multiscale fuzzy entropy (MFE) is extended to multiple subsequences to resolve the problem of insufficient coarse granularity in the traditional MFE. Subsequently, linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is applied to reduce the dimensionality of the extracted features in order to overcome the problem of feature redundancy. Finally, a support vector machine (SVM) model is utilized to construct the optimal hyperplane for the diagnosis of fault types. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method outperforms other state-of-the-art methods in the fault diagnosis of elevator systems. Full article
