Bearing Fault Diagnosis Based on Time-Frequency Dual Domains and Feature Fusion of ResNet-CACNN-BiGRU-SDPA.

As the most basic mechanical components, bearing troubleshooting is essential to ensure the safe and reliable operation of rotating machinery. Bearing fault diagnosis is challenging due to the scarcity of bearing fault diagnosis samples and the susceptibility of fault signals to external noise. To address these issues, a ResNet-CACNN-BiGRU-SDPA bearing fault diagnosis method based on time-frequency bi-domain and feature fusion is proposed. First, the model takes the augmented time-domain signals as inputs and reconstructs them into frequency-domain signals using FFT, which gives the signals a bi-directional time-frequency domain receptive field. Second, the long sequence time-domain signal is processed by a ResNet residual block structure, and a CACNN method is proposed to realize local feature extraction of the frequency-domain signal. Then, the extracted time-frequency domain long sequence features are fed into a two-layer BiGRU for bidirectional deep global feature mining. Finally, the long-range feature dependencies are dynamically captured by SDPA, while the global dual-domain features are spliced and passed into Softmax to obtain the model output. In order to verify the model performance, experiments were carried out on the CWRU and JNU bearing datasets, and the results showed that the method had high accuracy under both small sample size and noise perturbation conditions, which verified the model's good fault-feature-learning capability and noise immunity performance.
