Abstract

Rolling bearing has been becoming an important part of human life and work. The working environment of rolling bearing is very complex and variable, which makes it difficult for fault diagnosis and monitor of rolling bearing from raw vibration data. Then, in this paper, a novel multi-feature learning-based extreme learning machine is proposed for rolling bearing fault diagnosis (FL-ELM). Extreme learning machine (ELM) is a fast and generalized algorithm proposed for training single-hidden-layer feed-forward networks (SLFNs), which has fast computing speed and small testing error. The novel architecture has two hidden layers and an experience pool sandwiched between two hidden layers. The first hidden layer consists of multi-feature learning methods. The experience pool is used to sort and choose new data, with old data being filtered out. Firstly, the first hidden layer is adopted for feature extraction. Secondly, the experience pool is used to rearrange and select data, which is extracted by first hidden layer. Thirdly, ELM is employed to further learn and classify. The proposed method (FL-ELM) is applied to the rolling bearing fault diagnosis. The results confirm that the proposed method is more effective than traditional methods and standard deep learning methods.
