Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Due to increasing demands on the reliability and safety of technical processes, multiple fault detection and diagnosis methodologies have been proposed in the literature, broadly divided into model-based techniques, knowledge-based methods, and empirical or signal processing techniques. Faults can occur at any instant in dynamic systems, and in many cases can be generated by the drift of one or multiple parameters of the dynamic system. These changes can be useful to compare healthy and faulty systems when applying different approaches and methodologies.

In this context, this Special Issue aims to highlight both academic and real advancements in fault detection and diagnosis applications for dynamic systems, using conventional and artificial intelligence advanced techniques that emphasize symmetry. Here, symmetry plays an important role in the following ways: data for deep learning; data for machine learning, fault feature extraction or matching in terms of symmetry, fault detection or matching in terms of symmetry, and data segmentation and classification, among others.

Effective fault feature extraction and classification methods serve as the foundation for achieving the efficient fault diagnosis of planetary gearboxes. Considering the vibration signals of planetary gearboxes that contain both symmetrical and asymmetrical components, this paper proposes a novel feature extraction method integrating an adaptive multi-bandpass filter (AMBPF) and refined composite multi-scale fuzzy entropy (RCMFE). And a dream optimization algorithm (DOA)–least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) is also proposed for fault classification. Firstly, the AMBPF is proposed, which can effectively and adaptively separate the meshing frequencies, harmonic frequencies, and their sideband frequency information of the planetary gearbox, and is combined with RCMFE for fault feature extraction. Secondly, the DOA is employed to optimize the parameters of the LSSVM, aiming to enhance its classification efficiency. Finally, the fault diagnosis of the planetary gearbox is achieved by the AMBPF, RCMFE, and DOA-LSSVM. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves significantly higher diagnostic efficiency and exhibits superior noise immunity in planetary gearbox fault diagnosis.
