Sumario: | Toward the prognostic and health management of mechanical systems, we propose and validate a novel effective, data-driven fault diagnosis method. In this method, we develop a trained subtracted spectrogram, the so called critical information map (CIM), identifying the difference between the signal spectrograms of normal and abnormal status. We believe this diagnosis process may be implemented in an autonomous manner so that an engineer employs it without expert knowledge in signal processing or mechanical analyses. Firstly, the CIM method applies sequential and autonomous procedures of time-synchronization, time frequency conversion, and spectral subtraction on raw signal. Secondly, the subtracted spectrogram is then trained to be a CIM for a specific mechanical system failure by finding out the optimal parameters and abstracted information of the spectrogram. Finally, the status of a system health can be monitored accurately by comparing the CIM with an acquired signal map in an automated and timely manner. The effectiveness of the proposed method is successfully validated by employing a diagnosis problem of six-degree-of-freedom industrial robot, which is the diagnosis of a non-stationary system with a small amount of training datasets. |
