The scope of data-driven fault diagnosis models is greatly improved through deep learning (DL). However, the classical convolution and recurrent structure have their defects in computational efficiency and feature representation, while the latest Transformer architecture based on attention mechanism has not been applied in this field. To solve these problems, we propose a novel time-frequency Transformer (TFT) model inspired by the massive success of standard Transformer in sequence processing. Specially, we design a fresh tokenizer and encoder module to extract effective abstractions from the time-frequency representation (TFR) of vibration signals. On this basis, a new end-to-end fault diagnosis framework based on time-frequency Transformer is presented in this paper. Through the case studies on bearing experimental datasets, we constructed the optimal Transformer structure and verified the performance of the diagnostic method. The superiority of the proposed method is demonstrated in comparison with the benchmark model and other state-of-the-art methods.

Data-driven fault classification is complicated by imbalanced training data and unknown fault classes. Fault diagnosis of dynamic systems is done by detecting changes in time-series data, for example residuals, caused by faults or system degradation. Different fault classes can result in similar residual outputs, especially for small faults which can be difficult to distinguish from nominal system operation. Analyzing how easy it is to distinguish data from different fault classes is crucial during the design process of a diagnosis system to evaluate if classification performance requirements can be met. Here, a data-driven model of different fault classes is used based on the Kullback-Leibler divergence. This is used to develop a framework for quantitative fault diagnosis performance analysis and open set fault classification. A data-driven fault classification algorithm is proposed which can handle unknown faults and also estimate the fault size using training data from known fault scenarios. To illustrate the usefulness of the proposed methods, data have been collected from an engine test bench to illustrate the design process of a data-driven diagnosis system, including quantitative fault diagnosis analysis and evaluation of the developed open set fault classification algorithm.

Fault diagnosis of rotating machinery is an important engineering problem. In recent years, fault diagnosis methods based on the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) have been mature, but Transformer has not been wide ly used in the field of fault diagnosis. To address these deficiencies, a new method based on the Time Series Transformer (TST) is proposed to recognize the fault mode of bearings. In this paper, our contributions include: Firstly, we designed a tokens sequences generation method which can handle data in 1D format, namely time series tokenizer. Then, the TST combining time series tokenizer and Transformer was introduced. Furthermore, the test results on the given dataset show that the proposed method has better fault identification capability than the traditional CNN and RNN models. Secondly, through the experiments, the effect of structural hyperparameters such as subsequence length and embedding dimension on fault diagnosis performance, computational complexity and parameters number of the TST is analyzed in detail. The influence laws of some hyperparameters are obtained. Finally, via t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) dimensionality reduction method, the feature vectors in the embedding space are visualized. On this basis, the working pattern of TST has been explained to a certain extent. Moreover, by analyzing the distribution form of the feature vectors, we find that compared with the traditional CNN and RNN models, the feature vectors extracted by the method in this paper show the best intra-class compactness and inter-class separability. These results further demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS) which is developed based on intuitionistic fuzzy set, is more efficient in elaborating and disposing uncertainties in indeterminate situations, which is a very reason of that PFS is applied in various kinds of fields. How to measure the distance between two pythagorean fuzzy sets is still an open issue. Mnay kinds of methods have been proposed to present the of the question in former reaserches. However, not all of existing methods can accurately manifest differences among pythagorean fuzzy sets and satisfy the property of similarity. And some other kinds of methods neglect the relationship among three variables of pythagorean fuzzy set. To addrees the proplem, a new method of measuring distance is proposed which meets the requirements of axiom of distance measurement and is able to indicate the degree of distinction of PFSs well. Then some numerical examples are offered to to verify that the method of measuring distances can avoid the situation that some counter? intuitive and irrational results are produced and is more effective, reasonable and advanced than other similar methods. Besides, the proposed method of measuring distances between PFSs is applied in a real environment of application which is the medical diagnosis and is compared with other previous methods to demonstrate its superiority and efficiency. And the feasibility of the proposed method in handling uncertainties in practice is also proved at the same time.
This paper presents an eXplainable Fault Detection and Diagnosis System (XFDDS) for incipient faults in PV panels. The XFDDS is a hybrid approach that combines the model-based and data-driven framework. Model-based FDD for PV panels lacks high fideli ty models at low irradiance conditions for detecting incipient faults. To overcome this, a novel irradiance based three diode model (IB3DM) is proposed. It is a nine parameter model that provides higher accuracy even at low irradiance conditions, an important aspect for detecting incipient faults from noise. To exploit PV data, extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) is used due to its ability to detecting incipient faults. Lack of explainability, feature variability for sample instances, and false alarms are challenges with data-driven FDD methods. These shortcomings are overcome by hybridization of XGBoost and IB3DM, and using eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques. To combine the XGBoost and IB3DM, a fault-signature metric is proposed that helps reducing false alarms and also trigger an explanation on detecting incipient faults. To provide explainability, an eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) application is developed. It uses the local interpretable model-agnostic explanations (LIME) framework and provides explanations on classifier outputs for data instances. These explanations help field engineers/technicians for performing troubleshooting and maintenance operations. The proposed XFDDS is illustrated using experiments on different PV technologies and our results demonstrate the perceived benefits.
Predictive maintenance, i.e. predicting failure to be few steps ahead of the fault, is one of the pillars of Industry 4.0. An effective method for that is to track early signs of degradation before a failure happens. This paper presents an innovative failure predictive scheme for machines. The proposed scheme combines the use of full spectrum of the vibration data caused by the machines and data visualization technologies. This scheme is featured by no training data required and by quick start after installation. First, we propose to use full spectrum (as high-dimensional data vector) with no cropping and no complex feature extraction and to visualize data behavior by mapping the high dimensional vectors into a 2D map. We then can ensure the simplicity of process and less possibility of overlooking of important information as well as providing a human-friendly and human-understandable output. Second, we propose Real-Time Data Tracker (RTDT) which predicts the failure at an appropriate time with sufficient time for maintenance by plotting real-time frequency spectrum data of the target machine on the 2D map composed from normal data. Third, we show the test results of our proposal using vibration data of bearings from real-world test-to-failure measurements provided by the public dataset, the IMS dataset.
