Abstract

Purpose

For purpose of automatically diagnosing gear faults, intelligent fault diagnosis methods have been paid increasing attentions by researchers.

Methodology

This paper presents an intelligent fault diagnosis method based on an unsupervised learning algorithm called sparse filtering. First, sparse filtering is employed to extract fault features from gear frequency-domain samples. Then, softmax regression is adopted as a classifier to classify different fault types by the learned features. Finally, two different gear datasets are adopted to testify the validity and feasibility of our method.

Conclusion

The test results appear that our method can not only adaptively extract discriminative characteristics from the spectra of measured signals, but also achieve a superior performance than some other methods.
