Fuzzy Reasoning Numerical Spiking Neural P Systems for Induction Motor Fault Diagnosis

The fuzzy reasoning numerical spiking neural P systems (FRNSN P systems) are proposed by introducing the interval-valued triangular fuzzy numbers into the numerical spiking neural P systems (NSN P systems). The NSN P systems were applied to the SAT problem and the FRNSN P systems were applied to induction motor fault diagnosis. The FRNSN P system can easily model fuzzy production rules for motor faults and perform fuzzy reasoning. To perform the inference process, a FRNSN P reasoning algorithm was designed. During inference, the interval-valued triangular fuzzy numbers were used to characterize the incomplete and uncertain motor fault information. The relative preference relationship was used to estimate the severity of various faults, so as to warn and repair the motors in time when minor faults occur. The results of the case studies showed that the FRNSN P reasoning algorithm can successfully diagnose single and multiple induction motor faults and has certain advantages over other existing methods.
