With the increasing complexity of mechanical equipment and diversification of deep learning models, vibration signals collected from such equipment are susceptible to noise interference. Moreover, traditional neural network models struggle to be effectively deployed in production environments with limited computational resources, severely impacting the accurate extraction and effective diagnosis of FK fault characteristics. In response to this challenge, this study proposes a fault diagnosis method for rolling bearings, integrating a lightweight ShuffleNetV2 network with variational mode decomposition (VMD) and the fast kurtogram (FK) algorithm. Initially, this paper introduces an enhanced FK method where the VMD algorithm is employed for data denoising, extracting FK post-denoising. These feature maps not only preserve critical signal information but also simplify data complexity. Subsequently, these feature maps are utilized to train and test the ShuffleNetV2 model, facilitating effective fault identification and classification. Ultimately, by conducting experimental comparisons with several mainstream lightweight network models, such as MobileNet and SqueezeNet, as well as traditional convolutional neural network models, this study validates the effectiveness of the proposed method in extracting fault characteristics from vibration signals, demonstrating superior diagnostic accuracy and computational efficiency. This provides a novel technical approach for health monitoring and fault diagnosis of industrial bearings and offers theoretical and experimental support for the deployment of lightweight networks in industrial applications.

This paper proposes an improved fault diagnosis algorithm that combines a modified fast kurtogram (FK) method with the lightweight convolutional neural network GhostNet. The FK algorithm can adaptively select resonance demodulation bands for envelope demodulation to extract fault features, but it may be disturbed by non-Gaussian noise. Hence, the fast average kurtogram (FAK) method based on sub-band averaging was introduced. This method effectively weakens the impact of pulse noise on the kurtosis graph by splitting the signal into equal-length sub-signals and calculating the average kurtosis value of all sub-signal filters. Simultaneously, to fully utilize the advantages of deep learning technology in feature extraction and classification, this study used the FAK to convert vibration signals from one-dimensional to two-dimensional kurtosis graphs as the input for the GhostNet model. This combination not only achieved accurate fault diagnosis and classification but also showed significant advantages in processing efficiency and resource utilization. The experimental results indicate that the algorithm excelled in extracting features and diagnosing periodic transient impact faults, and compared with traditional methods, it exhibited noticeable improvements in computational efficiency and resource management.

A high-pressure hydraulically adjusted servomotor is an electromechanical–hydraulic integrated system centered on a servo valve that plays a crucial role in ensuring the safe and stable operation of steam turbines. To address the issues of difficult fault diagnoses and the low maintenance efficiency of adjusted hydraulic servomotors, this study proposes a model for detecting abnormalities of hydraulically adjusted servomotors. This model uses a multi-scale one-dimensional residual neural network (M1D_ResNet) for feature extraction and a genetic algorithm (GA)-optimized support vector data description (SVDD). Firstly, the multi-scale features of the vibration signals of the hydraulically adjusted servomotor were extracted and fused using one-dimensional convolutional blocks with three different scales to construct a multi-scale one-dimensional residual neural network binary classification model capable of recognizing normal and abnormal states. Then, this model was used as a feature extractor to create a feature set of normal data. Finally, an abnormal detection model for the hydraulically adjusted servomotor was constructed by optimizing the support vector data domain based on this feature set using a genetic algorithm. The proposed method was experimentally validated on a hydraulically adjusted servomotor dataset. The results showed that, compared with the traditional single-scale one-dimensional residual neural network, the multi-scale feature vectors fused by the multi-scale one-dimensional convolutional neural network contained richer state-sensitive information, effectively improving the performance of detecting abnormalities in the hydraulically adjusted servomotor.
