Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Condition monitoring (CM) techniques have been rapidly advanced in recent years for promoting the productivity and reliability of large-scale engineering systems. This advancement is greatly impacted by the progress in information theory and computing technologies, as evidenced by many published works in CM fields dealing with topics such as Shannon entropy, Lempel-ziv complexity, and permutation entropy. As a statistical measure, information theory can be used to quantify complexity and detect the dynamic change by taking into account the nonlinear behavior of time series. The information theory can be served as a promising tool to extract the dynamic characteristics of machines, which is useful to develop effective condition monitoring techniques.

The last decade has witnessed an increasingly growing research interest in information theory. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform to present high-quality original research as well as review articles on the latest developments in information theory and its application to machine condition monitoring.

Domain adaptation-based bearing fault diagnosis methods have recently received high attention. However, the extracted features in these methods fail to adequately represent fault information due to the versatility of the work scenario. Moreover, most existing adaptive methods attempt to align the feature space of domains by calculating the sum of marginal distribution distance and conditional distribution distance, without considering variable cross-domain diagnostic scenarios that provide significant cues for fault diagnosis. To address the above problems, we propose a deep convolutional multi-space dynamic distribution adaptation (DCMSDA) model, which consists of two core components: two feature extraction modules and a dynamic distribution adaptation module. Technically, a multi-space structure is proposed in the feature extraction module to fully extract fault features of the marginal distribution and conditional distribution. In addition, the dynamic distribution adaptation module utilizes different metrics to capture distribution discrepancies, as well as an adaptive coefficient to dynamically measure the alignment proportion in complex cross-domain scenarios. This study compares our method with other advanced methods, in detail. The experimental results show that the proposed method has excellent diagnosis performance and generalization performance. Furthermore, the results further demonstrate the effectiveness of each transfer module proposed in our model. Full article
