Despite the recent advances on intelligent fault diagnosis of rolling element bearings, existing research works mostly assume training and testing data are drawn from the same distribution. However, due to variation of operating condition, domain shift phenomenon generally exists, which results in significant diagnosis performance deterioration. To address cross-domain problems, latest research works preferably apply domain adaptation techniques on marginal data distributions. However, it is usually assumed that sufficient testing data are available for training, that is not in accordance with most transfer tasks in real industries where only data inmachine healthy condition can be collected in advance. This paper proposes a novel cross-domain fault diagnosis method based on deep generative neural networks. By artificially generating fake samples for domain adaptation, the proposed method is able to provide reliable cross-domain diagnosis results when testing data in machine fault conditions are not available for training. The experimental results suggest that the proposed method offers a promising approach for industrial applications.

Federated transfer learning in fault diagnosis under data privacy with target self-adaptation

Xu Li, Chi Zhang, Xiang Li, Wei Zhang

Summary: In the past decades, significant developments and applications have been made in data-driven machinery fault diagnosis methods. However, due to data privacy concerns and the disparity in data conditions among different users, collaborative training of powerful models has become challenging. To address these issues, a federated transfer learning method is proposed, which involves generating fake data, communicating only the models, and introducing prediction alignment and consensus schemes. Experiments on real-world machinery datasets validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, making it promising for real industry applications.

A new nonparametric degradation modeling method for truncated degradation signals by axis rotation

Naipeng Li, Yaguo Lei, Xiang Li, Xiaofei Liu, Bin Yang

Summary: Nonparametric degradation modeling automatically formulates the main degradation pattern of condition monitoring signals and offers higher flexibility in describing complex degradation processes. Functional principal component analysis (FPCA) is a commonly used nonparametric modeling technique, but is limited by the requirement that different units must share the same scale. This paper proposes a new degradation modeling method based on FPCA by axis rotation, which addresses the issues of time function existence and flexibility in noisy signals, and utilizes a particle filtering algorithm for non-Gaussian state estimation.

Deep Targeted Transfer Learning Along Designable Adaptation Trajectory for Fault Diagnosis Across Different Machines

Bin Yang, Yaguo Lei, Xiang Li, Clive Roberts

Summary: This article proposes a deep targeted transfer learning (DTTL) method for fault diagnosis, which addresses the issue of data distribution shift and facilitates diagnosis knowledge transfer across related machines. The method relaxes the strict assumption that all target domain data are unlabeled by introducing labeled one-shot target domain samples called anchors. DTTL includes a domain-shared residual network, a target-domain clustering module, and a targeted adaptation module to correct the joint distribution shift. Experimental results on transfer diagnosis tasks across different bearings demonstrate that DTTL achieves higher diagnosis accuracy compared to other methods.
