A fault diagnosis method for rolling bearings based on graph neural network with one-shot learning

Abstract The manuscript proposes a fault diagnosis method based on graph neural network (GNN) with one-shot learning to effectively diagnose rolling bearings under variable operating conditions. In this proposed method, the convolutional neural network is utilized for feature extraction, reducing loss in the process. Subsequently, GNN applies an adjacency matrix to generate codes for one-shot learning. Experimental verification is conducted using open data from Case Western Reserve University Rolling Bearing Data Center, where four different working conditions with six types of typical faults are selected as input signals. The classification accuracy of the proposed method reaches 98.02%. To further validate its effectiveness, traditional single-learning neural networks such as Siamese, Matching Net, Prototypical Net and (Stacked Auto Encoder) SAE are introduced as comparisons. Simulation results that the proposed method outperforms all chosen methods.
