Abstract

Effective fault data is the basis for intelligent fault diagnosis. In actual engineering applications, it is often impossible to obtain sufficiently effective fault signals. Moreover, relying on fault data makes it impossible to design supporting fault diagnosis models for equipment that is being designed and manufactured. In response to the above problems, a method of using digital twin training data to drive high-fidelity fault diagnosis models was proposed. Taking rolling bearings as the research object, the above method was verified. First, a dynamic analysis was performed on the rolling bearing and a bearing model in three states was constructed. Subsequently, a twin model of the rolling bearing was built based on the Modelica language. The vibration signal was obtained by running the model and compared with the theoretical fault characteristic frequency to verify the accuracy of the high-fidelity rolling bearing twin model. Finally, the convolutional neural network (CNN) was trained using the data of the digital twin model and tested using experiments under various working conditions. The results show that the method proposed in this article can achieve higher accuracy and is effective.
