Abstract

The vibration signals of rolling bearing obtained under variable working conditions do not obey the same independent distribution so that the traditional method of bearing fault diagnosis has low accuracy, a fault diagnosis method about rolling bearing based on sparse denoising autoencoder (SDAE) for deep feature extraction combining transfer learning is proposed. First, the bearing vibration signal in the time domain is transformed for frequency domain signal via Fourier transform, which is input into the SDAE for adaptive deep feature extraction. Then, the joint geometrical and statistical alignment is introduced to deal with the deep feature samples for reducing the domain discrepancy both statistically and geometrically. Finally, the k-nearest neighbor classification algorithm is used for completing the fault diagnosis of rolling bearing under variable working conditions. The experimental results show that the method presented in the paper improves the accuracy rate of fault diagnosis about rolling bearing under variable working conditions, verifies its feasibility and effectiveness.
