Abstract

Abstract : In the actual industrial scenarios, most existing fault diagnosis approaches are faced with two challenges, insufficient labeled training data and distribution divergences between training and testing datasets. For the above issues, a new transferable fault diagnosis approach of rotating machinery based on deep autoencoder and dominant features selection is proposed in this article. First, maximal overlap discrete wavelet packet transform is applied for signals processing and mix-domains statistical feature extraction. Second, dominant features selection by importance score and differences between domains is proposed to select dominant features with high fault-discriminative ability and domain invariance. Then, selected dominant features are used for pretraining deep autoencoder (source model), which helps in enhancing the fault representative ability of deep features. The parameters of the source model are transferred to the target model, and normal state features from target domain are adopted for fine-tuning the target model. Finally, the target model is applied for fault patterns classification. Motor and bearing fault datasets are used for a series of experiments, and the results verify that the proposed methods have better cross-domain diagnosis performance than comparative models.
