To analyze the vibration characteristic differences of a gear transmission system with gear and shaft cracks, an improved computational method for deriving the shaft stiffness matrix with breathing cracks is developed. Also, the three-dimensional contact model of spur gear with a crack is established via the finite element method (FEM), and its meshing stiffness is calculated. Simultaneously, considering bearing stiffness and shaft flexibility, the finite element dynamic models of two-stage gear transmission system with gear and shaft cracks are established. Based on this, different source fault vibration responses are compared and the influencing factors are explored. In addition, a novel signal processing method based on the particle swarm optimization, maximum correlated kurtosis deconvolution, variational, mode decomposition and fast spectral kurtosis (PSO-MCKD-VMD-FSK) is utilized to extract fault characteristics for the signal-to-noise ratio and uneven energy distribution problems. Results show that a system with gear cracks mainly presents periodic impact in the time domain, while in the frequency domain it impacts rotation frequency modulation near the meshing frequency and its multiple frequencies. However, the shaft crack breathing effect meant that the time domain mainly presents "simple harmonic" modulation, and the rotation frequency and its faulty shaft multiplication occurs in the low-frequency region of the frequency domain. The PSO-MCKD-VMD-FSK method extracts fault features in a strong noise environment and has good robustness. Results identify different source faults and provide a theoretical basis.
The reliability and safety of rotating equipment depend on the performance of bearings. For complex systems with high reliability and safety needs, effectively predicting the fault data in the use stage has important guiding significance for reasonably formulating reliability plans and carrying out reliability maintenance activities. Many methods have been used to solve the problem of reliability prediction. Due to its convenience and efficiency, the data-driven method is increasingly widely used in practical reliability prediction. In order to ensure the reliability of bearing operation, the main objective of the present study is to establish a novel model based on the optimized maximum correlation kurtosis deconvolution (MCKD) and long short-term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural network to realize early bearing fault warnings by predicting bearing fault time series. The proposed model is based on the lifecycle vibration signal of the bearing. In the first step, the cuckoo search (CS) is utilized to optimize the parameter filter length and deconvolution period of MCKD, considering the influence of periodic bearing time series, and to improve the fault impact component of the optimized MCKD deconvolution time series. Then the LSTM learning rate is selected according to the deconvolution time series. Finally, the dataset obtained through various preprocessing approaches is used to train and predict the LSTM model. The analyses performed using the XJTU-SY bearing dataset demonstrate that the prediction results are in good consistency with real fault data, and the average prediction accuracy of the optimized MCKD–LSTM model is 26% higher than that of the original time series.
The annotation of 3D datasets is required for semantic-segmentation and object detection in scene understanding. In this paper we present a framework for the weakly supervision of a point clouds transformer that is used for 3D object detection. The aim is to decrease the required amount of supervision needed for training, as a result of the high cost of annotating a 3D datasets. We propose an Unsupervised Voting Proposal Module, which learns randomly preset anchor points and uses voting network to select prepared anchor points of high quality. Then it distills information into student and teacher network. In terms of student network, we apply ResNet network to efficiently extract local characteristics. However, it also can lose much global information. To provide the input which incorporates the global and local information as the input of student networks, we adopt the self-attention mechanism of transformer to extract global features, and the ResNet layers to extract region proposals. The teacher network supervises the classification and regression of the student network using the pre-trained model on ImageNet. On the challenging KITTI datasets, the experimental results have achieved the highest level of average precision compared with the most recent weakly supervised 3D object detectors.
