Looseness monitoring of multiple M1 bolt joints using multivariate intrinsic multiscale entropy analysis and Lorentz signal-enhanced piezoelectric active sensing

Abstract

Bolts are widely used in the fields of mechanical, civil, and aerospace engineering. The condition of bolt joints has a significant impact on the safe and reliable operation of the whole equipment. The failure of bolt joints monitoring leads to severe accidents or even casualties. This paper proposes a novel bolt joints monitoring method using multivariate intrinsic multiscale entropy (MIME) analysis and Lorentz signal-enhanced piezoelectric active sensing. Lorentz signal is used as excitation signal in piezoelectric active sensing to expose nonlinear dynamical characteristics of the bolt joints. Multivariate variational mode decomposition (MVMD) is employed to decompose multiple components of the collected Lorentz signal into multivariate band-limited intrinsic mode functions (BLIMFs). Afterward, improved multiscale sample entropy (IMSE) values of each channel’s BLIMFs are computed to measure its irregularity and complexity. IMSE values are taken as quantitative features, reflecting dynamical characteristics of bolt joints. Further, the constructed 3-layer feature matrices are adopted as the input of the convolutional neural network (CNN) to achieve accurate bolt joint monitoring. The multiple M1 bolt joints are used during the experiment to verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed approach. The results demonstrate the proposed novel approach is promising in bolt joints monitoring.

A novel in-situ tool wear monitoring approach using multivariate signal processing and intrinsic multiscale entropy analysis

“…Thus, the triaxial accelerometer signals are analyzed in our paper with the aim of achieving accurate tool wear monitoring. The studies showed that the dynamic properties of the signal can be accurately described by BLIMFs [47][48][49]. Thus, multiscale entropy analysis by extracting features of BLIMFs can be used to detect the health conditions of complex dynamic systems.…”

Industrial Anomaly Detection with Skip Autoencoder and Deep Feature Extractor

“…Owing to the developments in convolutional neural networks (CNN) over recent years, classical CNN models such as the ResNeXt [ 1 ], Dual Path Networks [ 2 ], and EfficientNet [ 3 ] have been proposed, which has been proven to possess good image recognition abilities. Consequently, it is great for researchers to continue working toward importing CNN models into inspection applications and obtain good results, such as for industrial inspection [ 4 , 5 ], cryo-electron tomogram classification [ 6 ], lithium-ion battery electrode defect detection [ 7 ], solar cell surface defect inspection [ 8 ], bolt joints monitoring [ 9 ] and rolling bearing robust fault diagnosis [ 10 ].…”
