To effectively ensure the operational safety of an electric vehicle with in-wheel motor drive, a novel diagnosis method is proposed to monitor each in-wheel motor fault, the creativity of which lies in two aspects. One aspect is that affinity propagation (AP) is introduced into a minimum-distance discriminant projection (MDP) algorithm to propose a new dimension reduction algorithm, which is defined as APMDP. APMDP not only gathers the intra-class and inter-class information of high-dimensional data but also obtains information on the spatial structure. Another aspect is that multi-class support vector data description (SVDD) is improved using the Weibull kernel function, and its classification judgment rule is modified into a minimum distance from the intra-class cluster center. Finally, in-wheel motors with typical bearing faults are customized to collect vibration signals under four operating conditions, respectively, to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results show that the APMDP’s performance is better than traditional dimension reduction methods, and the divisibility is improved by at least 8.35% over the LDA, MDP, and LPP. A multi-class SVDD classifier based on the Weibull kernel function has high classification accuracy and strong robustness, and the classification accuracies of the in-wheel motor faults in each condition are over 95%, which is higher than the polynomial and Gaussian kernel function.

The application of transfer learning in fault diagnosis has been developed in recent years. It can use existing data to solve the problem of fault recognition under different working conditions. Due to the complexity of the equipment and the openness of the working environment in industrial production, the status of the equipment is changeable, and the collected signals can have new fault classes. Therefore, the open set recognition ability of the transfer learning method is an urgent research direction. The existing transfer learning model can have a severe negative transfer problem when solving the open set problem, resulting in the aliasing of samples in the feature space and the inability to separate the unknown classes. To solve this problem, we propose a Weighted Domain Adaptation with Double Classifiers (WDADC) method. Specifically, WDADC designs the weighting module based on Jensen–Shannon divergence, which can evaluate the similarity between each sample in the target domain and each class in the source domain. Based on this similarity, a weighted loss is constructed to promote the positive transfer between shared classes in the two domains to realize the recognition of shared classes and the separation of unknown classes. In addition, the structure of double classifiers in WDADC can mitigate the overfitting of the model by maximizing the discrepancy, which helps extract the domain-invariant and class-separable features of the samples when the discrepancy between the two domains is large. The model’s performance is verified in several fault datasets of rotating machinery. The results show that the method is effective in open set fault diagnosis and superior to the common domain adaptation methods. Full article

To avoid the potential safety hazards of electric vehicles caused by the mechanical fault deterioration of the in-wheel motor (IWM), this paper proposes an intelligent diagnosis based on double-optimized artificial hydrocarbon networks (AHNs) to identify the mechanical faults of IWM, which employs a K-means clustering and AdaBoost algorithm to solve the lower accuracy and poorer stability of traditional AHNs. Firstly, K-means clustering is used to improve the interval updating method of any adjacent AHNs molecules, and then simplify the complexity of the AHNs model. Secondly, the AdaBoost algorithm is utilized to adaptively distribute the weights for multiple weak models, then reconstitute the network structure of the AHNs. Finally, double-optimized AHNs are used to build an intelligent diagnosis system, where two cases of bearing datasets from Paderborn University and a self-made IWM test stand are processed to validate the better performance of the proposed method, especially in multiple rotating speeds and the load conditions of the IWM. The double-optimized AHNs provide a higher accuracy for identifying the mechanical faults of the IWM than the traditional AHNs, K-means-based AHNs (K-AHNs), support vector machine (SVM), and particle swarm optimization-based SVM (PSO-SVM).
