Bearing plays an important role in the operation of most machinery, Therefore, when a defect occurs in the bearing, a fatal defect throughout the machine is generated. In this reason, bearing defects should be detected early. In this paper, we describe a method using Convolutional Neural Networks (SN-CNNs) based on continuous wavelet transformations and Switchable normalization for bearing defect detection models. The accuracy of the model was measured using the Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) bearing dataset. In addition, batch normalization methods and spectrogram images are used to compare model performance. The proposed model achieved over 99% testing accuracy in CWRU dataset.

There have been many successful researches on a bearing fault diagnosis based on Deep Learning, but there is still a critical issue of the data distribution difference between training data and test data from their different working conditions causing performance degradation in applying those methods to the machines in the field. As a solution, a data adaptation method has been proposed and showed a good result, but each and every approach is strictly limited to a specific applying scenario or presupposition, which makes it still difficult to be used as a real-world application. Therefore, in this study, we have proposed a method that, using a data transformation with MFCCs and a simple CNN architecture, can perform a robust diagnosis on a target domain data without an additional learning or tuning on the model generated from a source domain data and conducted an experiment and analysis on the proposed method with the CWRU bearing dataset, which is one of the representative datasests for bearing fault diagnosis. The experimental results showed that our method achieved an equal performance to those of transfer learning based methods and a better performance by at least 15% compared to that of an input transformation based baseline method.

In the IoT(internet of things) where various devices can be connected, failure of essential devices may lead to a lot of economic and life losses. For reducing the losses, fault diagnosis techniques have been considered an essential part of IoT. In this paper, the method based on a graph neural network is proposed for determining fault and classifying types by extracting features from vibration data of systems. For training of the deep learning model, fault dataset are used as input data obtained from the CWRU(case western reserve university). To validate the classification performance of the proposed model, a conventional CNN(convolutional neural networks)-based fault classification model is compared with the proposed model. From the simulation results, it was confirmed that the classification performance of the proposed model outweighed the conventional model by up to 5% in the unevenly distributed data. The classification runtime can be improved by lightweight the proposed model in future works.

To train deep learning algorithms, a sufficient number of data are required. However, in most engineering systems, the acquisition of fault data is difficult or sometimes not feasible, while normal data are secured. The dearth of data is one of the major challenges to developing deep learning models, and fault diagnosis in particular cannot be made in the absence of fault data. With this context, this paper proposes an anomaly detection methodology for rotating machines using only normal data with self-labeling. Since only normal data are used for anomaly detection, a self-labeling method is used to generate a new labeled dataset. The overall procedure includes the following three steps: (1) transformation of normal data to self-labeled data based on a pretext task, (2) training the convolutional neural networks (CNN), and (3) anomaly detection using defined anomaly score based on the softmax output of the trained CNN. The softmax value of the abnormal sample shows different behavior from the normal softmax values. To verify the proposed method, four case studies were conducted, on the Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) bearing dataset, IEEE PHM 2012 data challenge dataset, PHMAP 2021 data challenge dataset, and laboratory bearing testbed; and the results were compared to those of existing machine learning and deep learning methods. The results showed that the proposed algorithm could detect faults in the bearing testbed and compressor with over 99.7% accuracy. In particular, it was possible to detect not only bearing faults but also structural faults such as unbalance and belt looseness with very high accuracy. Compared with the existing GAN, the autoencoder-based anomaly detection algorithm, the proposed method showed high anomaly detection performance.
