Research on Structurally Constrained KELM Fault-Diagnosis Model Based on Frequency-Domain Fuzzy Entropy.

As the core equipment of the high-pressure diaphragm pump, the working conditions of the check valve are complicated, and the vibration signal generated during operation displays non-stationary and nonlinear characteristics. In order to accurately describe the non-linear dynamics of the check valve, the smoothing prior analysis (SPA) method is used to decompose the vibration signal of the check valve, obtain the tendency term and fluctuation term components, and calculate the frequency-domain fuzzy entropy (FFE) of the component signals. Using FFE to characterize the operating state of the check valve, the paper proposes a kernel extreme-learning machine (KELM) function norm regularization method, which is used to construct a structurally constrained kernel extreme-learning machine (SC-KELM) fault-diagnosis model. Experiments demonstrate that the frequency-domain fuzzy entropy can accurately characterize the operation state of check valve, and the improvement of the generalization of the SC-KELM check valve fault model improves the recognition accuracy of the check-valve fault-diagnosis model, with an accuracy rate of 96.67%.

Bearing Fault Diagnosis Method Based on RCMFDE-SPLR and Ocean Predator Algorithm Optimizing Support Vector Machine.

For the problem that rolling bearing fault characteristics are difficult to extract accurately and the fault diagnosis accuracy is not high, an unsupervised characteristic selection method of refined composite multiscale fluctuation-based dispersion entropy (RCMFDE) combined with self-paced learning and low-redundant regularization (SPLR) is proposed, for which the fault diagnosis is carried out by support vector machine (SVM) optimized by the marine predator algorithm (MPA). First, we extract the entropy characteristics of the bearings under different fault states by RCMFDE and the introduction of the fine composite multiscale coarse-grained method and fluctuation strategy improves the stability and estimation accuracy of the bearing characteristics; then, a novel dimensionality-reduction method, SPLR, is used to select better entropy characteristics, and the local flow structure of the fault characteristics is preserved and the redundancy is constrained by two regularization terms; finally, using the MPA-optimized SVM classifier by combining Levy motion and Eddy motion strategies, the preferred RCMFDE is fed into the MPA-SVM model for fault diagnosis, for which the obtained bearing fault diagnosis accuracy is 97.67%. The results show that the RCMFDE can effectively improve the stability and accuracy of the bearing characteristics, the SPLR-based low-dimensional characteristics can suppress the redundancy characteristics and improve the effectiveness of the characteristics, and the MPA-based adaptive SVM model solves the parameter randomness problem and, therefore, the proposed method has outstanding superiority.

Parameter-Adaptive TVF-EMD Feature Extraction Method Based on Improved GOA.

In order to separate the sub-signals and extract the feature frequency in the signal accurately, we proposed a parameter-adaptive time-varying filtering empirical mode decomposition (TVF-EMD) feature extraction method based on the improved grasshopper optimization algorithm (IGOA). The method not only improved the local optimal problem of GOA, but could also determine the bandwidth threshold and B-spline order of TVF-EMD adaptively. Firstly, a nonlinear decreasing strategy was introduced in this paper to adjust the decreasing coefficient of GOA dynamically. Then, energy entropy mutual information (EEMI) was introduced to comprehensively consider the energy distribution of the modes and the dependence between the modes and the original signal, and the EEMI was used as the objective function. In addition, TVF-EMD was optimized by IGOA and the optimal parameters matching the input signal were obtained. Finally, the feature frequency of the signal was extracted by analyzing the sensitive mode with larger kurtosis. The optimization experiments of 23 sets of benchmark functions showed that IGOA not only enhanced the balance between exploration and development, but also improved the global and local search ability and stability of the algorithm. The analysis of the simulation signal and bearing signal shows that the parameter-adaptive TVF-EMD method can separate the modes with specific physical meanings accurately. Compared with ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), variational mode decomposition (VMD), TVF-EMD with fixed parameters and GOA-TVF-EMD, the decomposition performance of the proposed method is better. The proposed method not only improved the under-decomposition, over-decomposition and modal aliasing problems of TVF-EMD, but could also accurately separate the frequency components of the signal and extract the included feature information, so it has practical significance in mechanical fault diagnosis.

Research on Twin Extreme Learning Fault Diagnosis Method Based on Multi-Scale Weighted Permutation Entropy.

Due to the complicated engineering operation of the check valve in a high-pressure diaphragm pump, its vibration signal tends to show non-stationary and non-linear characteristics. These leads to difficulty extracting fault features and, hence, a low accuracy for fault diagnosis. It is difficult to extract fault features accurately and reliably using the traditional MPE method, and the ELM model has a low accuracy rate in fault classification. Multi-scale weighted permutation entropy (MWPE) is based on extracting multi-scale fault features and arrangement pattern features, and due to the combination of extracting a sequence of amplitude features, fault features are significantly enhanced, which overcomes the deficiency of the single-scale permutation entropy characterizing the complexity of vibration signals. It establishes the check valve fault diagnosis model from the twin extreme learning machine (TELM). The TELM fault diagnosis model established, based on MWPE, aims to find a pair of non-parallel classification hyperplanes in the equipment state space to improve the model's applicability. Experiments show that the proposed method effectively extracts the characteristics of the vibration signal, and the fault diagnosis model effectively identifies the fault state of the check valve with an accuracy rate of 97.222%.
