Abstract

Deep learning (DL) is progressively popular as a viable alternative to traditional signal processing (SP) based methods for fault diagnosis. However, the lack of explainability makes DL-based fault diagnosis methods difficult to be trusted and understood by industrial users. In addition, the extraction of weak fault features from signals with heavy noise is imperative in industrial applications. To address these limitations, inspired by the Filterbank-Feature-Decision methodology, we propose a new Signal Processing Informed Neural Network (SPINN) framework by embedding SP knowledge into the DL model. As one of the practical implementations for SPINN, a denoising fault-aware wavelet network (DFAWNet) is developed, which consists of fused wavelet convolution (FWConv), dynamic hard thresholding (DHT), index-based soft filtering (ISF), and a classifier. Taking advantage of wavelet transform, FWConv extracts multiscale features while learning wavelet scales and selecting important wavelet bases automatically; DHT dynamically eliminates noise-related components via point-wise hard thresholding; inspired by index-based filtering, ISF optimizes and selects optimal filters for diagnostic feature extraction. It's worth noting that SPINN may be readily applied to different deep learning networks by simply adding filterbank and feature modules in front. Experiments results demonstrate a significant diagnostic performance improvement over other explainable or denoising deep learning networks. The corresponding code is available at https://github.com/albertszg/DFAWnet.
