Towards Accurate Gear Fault Diagnosis: Hybrid Data Enrichment by Digital Twins for Machine Learning-Based Monitoring
摘要
Machine learning algorithms demonstrate a strong potential for condition monitoring and fault detection of industrial equipment. However, their reliance on experimental data for training limits their applicability in industry.
MethodTo address this limitation, this paper proposes a novel approach based on hybrid data, combining available experimental data with simulated data generated by a digital twin model. The construction of such hybrid dataset presents a challenging task to achieve a high accuracy. Two ways of data enrichment are considered: (i) increasing the volume of available states (quantitative enrichment) and (ii) adding unavailable states (qualitative enrichment). The approach’s performance is evaluated using different well-established classifiers.
ResultsResults show an improvement in accuracy compared with the approach using solely simulated data. The accuracy is higher than 90
In view of the results, this study provides valuable insights into how the digital twin can be used as a means of enriching data for gear diagnosis.
