A new fault diagnosis method using deep belief network and compressive sensing
Compressive sensing provides a new idea for machinery monitoring, which greatly reduces the burden on data transmission. After that, the compressed signal will be used for fault diagnosis by feature extraction and fault classification. However, traditional fault diagnosis heavily depends on the prior knowledge and requires a signal reconstruction which will cost great time consumption. For this problem, a deep belief network (DBN) is used here for fault detection directly on compressed signal. This is the first time DBN is combined with the compressive sensing. The PCA analysis shows that DBN has successfully separated different features. The DBN method which is tested on compressed gearbox signal, achieves 92.5 % accuracy for 25 % compressed signal. We compare the DBN on both compressed and reconstructed signal, and find that the DBN using compressed signal not only achieves better accuracies, but also costs less time when compression ratio is less than 0.35. Moreover, the results have been compared with other classification methods
Damage identification in structural health monitoring: a brief review from its implementation to the Use of data-driven applications
The damage identification process provides relevant information about the current state of a structure under inspection, and it can be approached from two different points of view. The first approach uses data-driven algorithms, which are usually associated with the collection of data using sensors. Data are subsequently processed and analyzed. The second approach uses models to analyze information about the structure. In the latter case, the overall performance of the approach is associated with the accuracy of the model and the information that is used to define it. Although both approaches are widely used, data-driven algorithms are preferred in most cases because they afford the ability to analyze data acquired from sensors and to provide a real-time solution for decision making; however, these approaches involve high-performance processors due to the high computational cost. As a contribution to the researchers working with data-driven algorithms and applications, this work presents a brief review of data-driven algorithms for damage identification in structural health-monitoring applications. This review covers damage detection, localization, classification, extension, and prognosis, as well as the development of smart structures. The literature is systematically reviewed according to the natural steps of a structural health-monitoring system. This review also includes information on the types of sensors used as well as on the development of data-driven algorithms for damage identification.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version

Sensor Signal and Information Processing II
In the current age of information explosion, newly invented technological sensors and software are now tightly integrated with our everyday lives. Many sensor processing algorithms have incorporated some forms of computational intelligence as part of their core framework in problem solving. These algorithms have the capacity to generalize and discover knowledge for themselves and learn new information whenever unseen data are captured. The primary aim of sensor processing is to develop techniques to interpret, understand, and act on information contained in the data. The interest of this book is in developing intelligent signal processing in order to pave the way for smart sensors. This involves mathematical advancement of nonlinear signal processing theory and its applications that extend far beyond traditional techniques. It bridges the boundary between theory and application, developing novel theoretically inspired methodologies targeting both longstanding and emergent signal processing applications. The topic ranges from phishing detection to integration of terrestrial laser scanning, and from fault diagnosis to bio-inspiring filtering. The book will appeal to established practitioners, along with researchers and students in the emerging field of smart sensors processing
A Sequential Inspection Procedure for Fault Detection in Multistage Manufacturing Processes
Fault diagnosis in multistage manufacturing processes (MMPs) is a challenging task where most of the research presented in the literature considers a predefined inspection scheme to identify the sources of variation and make the process diagnosable. In this paper, a sequential inspection procedure to detect the process fault based on a sequential testing algorithm and a minimum monitoring system is proposed. After the monitoring system detects that the process is out of statistical control, the features to be inspected (end of line or in process measurements) are defined sequentially according to the expected information gain of each potential inspection measurement. A case study is analyzed to prove the benefits of this approach with respect to a predefined inspection scheme and a randomized sequential inspection considering both the use and non-use of fault probabilities from historical maintenance data
A weak fault diagnosis method for rotating machinery based on compressed sensing and stochastic resonance
Vibration signals used for rotating machinery fault diagnosis often constitute large amount of data. It is a big challenge to extract faults feature information from these data. Recently, a new sampling framework called compressed sensing has been proposed, which enables the recovery from a small set of measured data if the signals are sparse or compressible. In reality, the sparseness of the signals is not very well due to noise, so it is difficult and unavailing to recover the whole signal. Thus, a new mechanical fault diagnosis method is proposed in this paper. First, the machine fault vibration signals are pretreated by stochastic resonance. By this way, the fault signal drowned by noise is amplified and the sparseness of the signals is enhanced, which make it possible to apply compressed sensing. Second, fault features are extracted directly from the compressed data without recovering completely, which reduces the dimensionality of the measurement data and the complexity of algorithm. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is proved by the experiments

Compressive Sampling and Feature Ranking Framework for Bearing Fault Classification with Vibration Signals
Failures of rolling element bearings are amongst the main causes of machines breakdowns. To
prevent such breakdowns, bearing health monitoring is performed by collecting data from rotating machines,
extracting features from the collected data, and applying a classifier to classify faults. To avoid the burden of
much storage requirements and processing time of a tremendously large amount of vibration data, the present
paper proposes a combined Compressive Sampling (CS) based on Multiple Measurement Vector (MMV) and
Feature Ranking (FR) framework to learn optimally fewer features from a large amount of vibration data
from which bearing health conditions can be classified. The CS-based on MMV model is the first step in this
framework and provides compressively-sampled signals based on compressed sampling rates. In the second
step, the search for the most important features of these compressively-sampled signals is performed using
feature ranking and selection techniques. For that purpose, we have investigated the following: (1) two
compressible representations of vibration signals that can be used within CS framework, namely, Fast Fourier
Transform (FFT) based coefficients and thresholded Wavelet Transform (WT) based coefficients, and (2)
several feature ranking and selection techniques, namely, three similarity-based techniques, Fisher Score
(FS), Laplacian Score (LS), Relief-F; one correlation-based technique, Pearson Correlation Coefficients
(PCC); and one independence test technique, Chi-Square (Chi-2) to select fewer features that can sufficiently
represent the original vibration signals. These selected features, in combination with three of the popular
classifiers - multinomial Logistic Regression classifier (LRC), Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), and
Support Vector Machines (SVMs), have been evaluated for the classification of bearing faults. Results show
that the proposed framework achieves high classification accuracies with a limited amount of data using
various combinations of methods, which outperform recently published results
