In this brief paper, a distributed data-driven fault detection method based on sparse integrated dynamic principal component analysis is designed to enhance the fault detection performance of multi-source dynamic systems. First, by dividing the complex system into multiple sub-sources according to the structural principle, the fusion and complementation of process mechanism knowledge and data-driven are realized. Second, by introducing the Kronecker product covariance structure, the individual modes within each sub-source as well as joint modes shared between sub-sources are captured. Notably, by developing a truncated contribution power method, key variables are selected and the interpretability of principal components is improved. Finally, experimental results demonstrate that the proposed strategy can significantly improve the detection performance compared with the existing PCA-based methods.

Aiming at the limitations of existing multisensor fault diagnosis methods for rolling bearings in real industrial scenarios, this paper proposes an innovative intuitionistic fuzzy weighted least squares twin support higher-order tensor machine (IFW-LSTSHTM) model, which realizes a breakthrough in the noise robustness, adaptability to the working conditions, and the class imbalance processing capability. First, the multimodal feature tensor is constructed: the fourier synchro-squeezed transform is used to convert the multisensor time-domain signals into time–frequency images, and then the tensor is reconstructed to retain the three-dimensional structural information of the sensor coupling relationship and time–frequency features. The nonlinear feature mapping strategy combined with Tucker decomposition effectively maintains the high-order correlation of the feature tensor. Second, the adaptive sample-weighting mechanism is developed: an intuitionistic fuzzy membership score assignment scheme with global–local information fusion is proposed. At the global level, the class contribution is assessed based on the relative position of the samples to the classification boundary; at the local level, the topological structural features of the sample distribution are captured by K-nearest neighbor analysis; this mechanism significantly improves the recognition of noisy samples and the handling of class-imbalanced data. Finally, a dual hyperplane classifier is constructed in tensor space: a structural risk regularization term is introduced to enhance the model generalization ability and a dynamic penalty factor is set to set adaptive weights for different categories. A linear equation system solving strategy is adopted: the nonparallel hyperplane optimization is converted into matrix operations to improve the computational efficiency. The extensive experimental results on the two rolling bearing datasets have verified that the proposed method outperforms existing solutions in diagnostic accuracy and stability.

Currently, with the increasing scale of industrial systems, multisensor monitoring data exhibit large-scale dynamic Gaussian and non-Gaussian concurrent complex characteristics. However, the traditional principal component analysis method is based on Gaussian distribution and uncorrelated assumptions, which are greatly limited in practice. Therefore, developing a new fault detection method for large-scale Gaussian and non-Gaussian concurrent dynamic systems is one of the urgent challenges to be addressed. To this end, a double-layer distributed and integrated data-driven strategy based on Laplacian score weighting and integrated Bayesian inference is proposed. Specifically, in the first layer of the distributed strategy, we design a Jarque–Bera test module to divide all multisensor monitoring variables into Gaussian and non-Gaussian blocks, successfully solving the problem of different data distributions. In the second layer of the distributed strategy, we design a dynamic augmentation module to solve dynamic problems, a K-means clustering module to mine local similarity information of variables, and a Laplace scoring module to quantitatively evaluate the structural retention ability of variables. Therefore, this double-layer distributed strategy can simultaneously combine the different distribution characteristics, dynamism, local similarity, and importance of variables, comprehensively mining the local information of the multisensor data. In addition, we develop an integrated Bayesian inference strategy based on detection performance weighting, which can emphasize the differential contribution of local models. Finally, the fault detection results for the Tennessee Eastman production system and a diesel engine working system validate the superiority of the proposed method.
