Interpretable Network Construction for Intelligent Monitoring and Diagnosis,and Application in Inter-shaft Bearing Diagnosis While Aero-engine Test
Engine health management is the key technology to improve the safety,reliability and economic affordability of aero-engine.The intelligent diagnosis method based on neural networks has achieved great success in mechanical fault diagnosis,but the current network lacks the targeted design of aero-engine due to its"black box"nature,and has not been confirmed in engineering practice.In view of these problems,this paper proposes an interpretable network construction framework for intelligent diagnosis of aero-engine and verifies it in the real engine test data.The prior information of aero-engine vibration signals is integrated into the sparse representation model,and the iterative solution algorithm of the model is unrolled to obtain an interpretable core network architecture.The interpretable sub-network via adversarial training is constructed for detection tasks,and the interpretable deep feature extraction sub-network is constructed for intelligent fault diagnosis tasks.Therefore,the network architecture proposed in this paper has a clear theoretical basis,that is,ad-hoc interpretability.In addition,a visualization method is proposed to check whether the network has learned meaningful features,making it post-hoc interpretable.The characteristics of both ad-hoc and post-hoc interpretability make the network more credible when applied to aero-engine anomaly detection and fault diagnosis.Finally,in the long-term test data analysis of a real aero-engine,the interpretable network construction proposed in this paper provides an effective and credible results for fault diagnosis of inter-shaft bearings.
