Deep Learning-Based Adaptive Neural-Fuzzy Structure Scheme for Bearing Fault Pattern Recognition and Crack Size...

Bearings are complex components with onlinear behavior that are used to mitigate the effects of inertia. These components are used in various systems, including motors. Data analysis and condition monitoring of the systems are important methods for bearing fault diagnosis. Therefore, a deep learning-based adaptive neural-fuzzy structure technique via a support vector autoregressive-Laguerre model is presented in this study. The proposed scheme has three main steps. First, the support vector autoregressive-Laguerre is introduced to approximate the vibration signal under normal conditions and extract the state-space equation. After signal modeling, an adaptive neural-fuzzy structure observer is designed using a combination of high-order variable structure techniques, the support vector autoregressive-Laguerre model, and adaptive neural-fuzzy inference mechanism for normal and abnormal signal estimation. The adaptive neural-fuzzy structure observer is the main part of this work because, based on the difference between signal estimation accuracy, it can be used to identify faults in the bearings. Next, the residual signals are generated, and the signal conditions are detected and identified using a convolution neural network (CNN) algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed deep learning-based adaptive neural-fuzzy structure technique by support vector autoregressive-Laguerre model was analyzed using the Case Western Reverse University (CWRU) bearing vibration dataset. The proposed scheme is compared to five state-of-the-art techniques. The proposed algorithm improved the average pattern recognition and crack size identification accuracy by 1.99%, 3.84%, 15.75%, 5.87%, 30.14%, and 35.29% compared to the combination of the high-order variable structure technique with the support vector autoregressive-Laguerre model and CNN, the combination of the variable structure technique with the support vector autoregressive-Laguerre model and CNN, the combination of RAW signal and CNN, the combination of the adaptive neural-fuzzy structure technique with the support vector autoregressive-Laguerre model and support vector machine (SVM), the combination of the high-order variable structure technique with the support vector autoregressive-Laguerre model and SVM, and the combination of the variable structure technique with the support vector autoregressive-Laguerre model and SVM, respectively.
