Vibration signals under the same health state often have large differences due to changes in operating conditions. Likewise, the differences among vibration signals under different health states can be small under some operating conditions. Traditional deep learning methods apply fixed nonlinear transformations to all the input signals, which have a negative impact on the discriminative feature learning ability, i.e., projecting the intraclass signals into the same region and the interclass signals into distant regions. Aiming at this issue, this article develops a new activation function, i.e., adaptively parametric rectifier linear units, and inserts the activation function into deep residual networks to improve the feature learning ability, so that each input signal is trained to have its own set of nonlinear transformations. To be specific, a subnetwork is inserted as an embedded module to learn slopes to be used in the nonlinear transformation. The slopes are dependent on the input signal, and thereby the developed method has more flexible nonlinear transformations than the traditional deep learning methods. Finally, the improved performance of the developed method in learning discriminative features has been validated through fault diagnosis applications.

Deep Residual Networks With Adaptively Parametric Rectifier Linear Units for Fault Diagnosis

Diagnosis of a civil aircraft engine, which is operating under speed variation conditions, is a representative problem encountered in aeronautic industry. It is still very challenging to estimate the instantaneous angular speed (IAS) through the aircraft engine vibration signal when no encoder or tachometer is available due to cost or technological reasons. However, for the currently available tacholess order tracking algorithms, many vital parameters must be initialized manually in advance, which lead to user-friendliness, even false diagnosis. To address this issue, a novel method is proposed and the merits of nonlinear mode decomposition are inherited, so the IAS can be estimated adaptively without prior knowledge. The vibration signal collected from a civil aircraft engine is used for validation; the experimental results exhibit that the proposed method is more accurate and flexible when compared with the conventional methods.
