Abstract

Faced with the problem of valid data shortage data in practical. There's not enough data to train classifiers which can be satisfied to detect impact-rubbing faults in rotary machine. Bedsides, the large number of noises in working enviroment make the useful signal contaminated. Based on this problem, this paper proposes a rubbing fault recognition method based on a generative adversarial nets named deep convolution generative adversarial nets (DCGAN), which is based on a deep convolutional network frame with generation and discrimination models. The acquired signal is processed by time frequency analysis further to get spectrogram. The DCGAN can perform feature conversion and map it to the potential feature subspace to obtain more robust features. The results illustrate that the proposed method can achieve a much more excellent recognition effect. Thus, the proposed DCGAN model is an effective way to recognize impact-rubbing fault in the practical.
