Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0, a key objective is to enhance equipment's ability to perceive its own health state and predict future behavior. The development of artificial intelligence, especially the progress made in deep learning, over the last decade provides a promising tool in bolstering this enhancement. Such a tool can be a complement or alternative to conventional physics-based and signal-processing-based techniques in fault detection, diagnosis, and prognosis applications.

Researchers have started to build data-driven or hybrid models to further boost their prediction accuracy in the above applications, yet there are still some untouched or underexplored territories, such as causal inference, demystifying black-box modelling, domain adaptation, automatic feature learning, etc. This Special Issue aims to present current innovations and engineering achievements of scientists and industrial practitioners in the area of adopting artificial intelligence techniques in fault detection, diagnosis, and prognosis.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Adoption of cutting-edge artificial intelligence in prognostics and health management (PHM).
  • Data-driven, physics-based, signal-processing-based, or hybrid models straddling the above counterparts.
  • Domain adaptation using transfer learning.
  • Demystifying the black-box and gaining new insights: interpretability of the learned models.
  • Knowledge distillation for edge-computing applications

With the optimization and advancement of industrial production and manufacturing, the application scenarios of bearings have become increasingly diverse and highly coupled. This complexity poses significant challenges for the extraction of bearing fault features, consequently affecting the accuracy of cross-condition fault diagnosis methods. To improve the extraction and recognition of fault features and enhance the diagnostic accuracy of models across different conditions, this paper proposes a cross-condition bearing diagnosis method. This method, named MCR-KAResNet-TLDAF, is based on image fusion and a residual network that incorporates the Kolmogorov–Arnold representation theorem. Firstly, the one-dimensional vibration signals of the bearing are processed using Markov transition field (MTF), continuous wavelet transform (CWT), and recurrence plot (RP) methods, converting the resulting images to grayscale. These grayscale images are then multiplied by corresponding coefficients and fed into the R, G, and B channels for image fusion. Subsequently, fault features are extracted using a residual network enhanced by the Kolmogorov–Arnold representation theorem. Additionally, a domain adaptation algorithm combining multiple kernel maximum mean discrepancy (MK-MMD) and conditional domain adversarial network with entropy conditioning (CDAN+E) is employed to align the source and target domains, thereby enhancing the model’s cross-condition diagnostic accuracy. The proposed method was experimentally validated on the Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) dataset and the Jiangnan University (JUN) dataset, which include the 6205-2RS JEM SKF, N205, and NU205 bearing models. The method achieved accuracy rates of 99.36% and 99.889% on the two datasets, respectively. Comparative experiments from various perspectives further confirm the superiority and effectiveness of the proposed model. Full article
