Rolling Bearing Fault Diagnosis Based on CNN-LSTM with FFT and SVD

In the industrial sector, accurate fault identification is paramount for ensuring both safety and economic efficiency throughout the production process. However, due to constraints imposed by actual working conditions, the motor state features collected are often limited in number and singular in nature. Consequently, extending and extracting these features pose significant challenges in fault diagnosis. To address this issue and strike a balance between model complexity and diagnostic accuracy, this paper introduces a novel motor fault diagnostic model termed FSCL (Fourier Singular Value Decomposition combined with Long and Short-Term Memory networks). The FSCL model integrates traditional signal analysis algorithms with deep learning techniques to automate feature extraction. This hybrid approach innovatively enhances fault detection by describing, extracting, encoding, and mapping features during offline training. Empirical evaluations against various state-of-the-art techniques such as Bayesian Optimization and Extreme Gradient Boosting Tree (BOA-XGBoost), Whale Optimization Algorithm and Support Vector Machine (WOA-SVM), Short-Time Fourier Transform and Convolutional Neural Networks (STFT-CNNs), and Variational Modal Decomposition-Multi Scale Fuzzy Entropy-Probabilistic Neural Network (VMD-MFE-PNN) demonstrate the superior performance of the FSCL model. Validation using the Case Western Reserve University dataset (CWRU) confirms the efficacy of the proposed technique, achieving an impressive accuracy of 99.32%. Moreover, the model exhibits robustness against noise, maintaining an average precision of 98.88% and demonstrating recall and F1 scores ranging from 99.00% to 99.89%. Even under conditions of severe noise interference, the FSCL model consistently achieves high accuracy in recognizing the motor’s operational state. This study underscores the FSCL model as a promising approach for enhancing motor fault diagnosis in industrial settings, leveraging the synergistic benefits of traditional signal analysis and deep learning methodologies.
