Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in and investment on electrical-based systems in various applications, such as Industry 4.0, electric vehicles, renewables, micro- and smart grids, and so on. Such systems should have high performance, reliability, and availability. Indeed, they are exposed to several types of failures due to external and internal sources. Failures may affect energy sources, actuators, sensors, or controllers. Consequently, predictive maintenance based on accurate fault diagnosis approaches and fault-tolerant control strategies is of upmost importance.

State-of-the-art reviews have shown that fault diagnosis methods are mainly classified in model-based approaches and signal-based approaches. However, with the increase in data acquisition and processing algorithms, artificial intelligence (AI) tools have become more attractive for fault diagnosis and fault classification issues. Indeed, AI approaches are only based on recorded data obtained from measured quantities instead of specific complex mathematical models.

The main purpose of this Special Issue is to share high-quality original research articles and reviews in the area of fault diagnosis based on deep learning and its applications.

The topics of interest of this Special Issue include but are not limited to:

  • Fault detection and fault diagnosis based on deep learning;
  • Fault-tolerant control strategies based on deep learning algorithms;
  • Predictive maintenance with deep learning;
  • Implementation of deep-learning-based algorithms and architectures for diagnosis.

This paper introduces a pioneering method for real-time image processing in electronic component assembly, revolutionizing quality control in manufacturing. By promptly capturing images from pick-and-place machines during the interval between component pick-up and mounting, defects are identified and promptly addressed in line. This proactive approach ensures that defective components are rejected before mounting, effectively preventing issues from ever occurring, thus significantly enhancing efficiency and reliability. Leveraging rapid network protocols such as gRPC and orchestration via Kubernetes, in conjunction with C++ programming and TensorFlow, this approach achieves an impressive average turnaround time of less than 5 milli-seconds. Rigorously tested on 20 operational production machines, it not only ensures adherence to IPC-A-610 and IPC-STD-J-001 standards but also optimizes production efficiency and reliability. Full article

Aiming at rolling bearing fault diagnosis, the collected vibration signal contains complex noise interference, and one-dimensional information cannot be used to fully mine the data features of the problem. This paper proposes a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on SVD-GST combined with the Vision Transformer. Firstly, the one-dimensional vibration signal is preprocessed to reduce noise using singular value decomposition (SVD) to obtain a more accurate and useful signal. Then, the generalized S-transform (GST) is used to convert the processed one-dimensional vibration signal into a two-dimensional time–frequency image and make full use of the advantages of deep learning in image classification with higher recognition accuracy. In order to avoid the problem of limited sensory fields in CNN and the need for an RNN to compute step by step over time when processing sequence data, the use of a Vision Transformer model for pattern recognition classification is proposed. Finally, an experimental platform for the fault diagnosis of rolling bearings is built. The model is experimentally validated, achieving an average accuracy of 98.52% over multiple tests. Additionally, compared with the SVD-GST-2DCNN, STFT-CNN-LSTM, SVD-GST-LSTM, and GST-ViT fault diagnosis models, the proposed method has higher diagnostic accuracy and stability, providing a new method for rolling bearing fault diagnosis.

For most rotating mechanical transmission systems, condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of the gearbox are of great significance to avoid accidents and maintain stability in operation. To strengthen the comprehensiveness of feature extraction and improve the utilization rate of fault signals to accurately identify the different operating states of a gearbox, a gearbox fault diagnosis model combining Gramian angular field (GAF) and CSKD-ResNeXt (channel shuffle and kernel decomposed ResNeXt) was proposed. The original one-dimensional vibration signal of the gearbox was converted into a two-dimensional image by GAF transformation, and the image was used as the input of the subsequent diagnosis network. To solve the problem of channel independence and incomplete information caused by group convolution, the idea of channel shuffle is introduced to enable the branches of the group convolution part to establish information exchange. In addition, to improve the semantic expression ability of the model, the convolutional kernel of the network backbone is split and replaced. The model is verified under the different working conditions of the gearbox and compared with other methods. The experimental results show that the diagnostic accuracy of the model is up to 99.75%, and the precise identification of gearbox faults is realized. Full article
