Intelligent fault diagnosis of hoisting systems under complex working conditions using deep graph convolutional generative adversarial networks with limited data
Owing to the difficulty of collecting adequate fault data from hoisting systems under complex working conditions, data-driven diagnostic methods suffer from decreased accuracy due to inadequate fault information. To deal with this problem, we introduce an intelligent few-shot fault diagnosis approach using a deep graph convolutional generative adversarial networks (DGCGANs) algorithm. The goal of the proposed method is to acquire a more comprehensive few-shot fault feature information, thus facilitating the generation and augmentation of scarce data. Results of two cases including laboratory and real-world industrial datasets demonstrate the viability and efficacy of our approach for diagnosing few-shot faults. Specifically, the proposed DGCGAN method outperforms existing advanced diagnostics, thereby offering superior accuracy in identifying hoisting system faults with limited data. Finally, the practicality and adaptability of the proposed DGCGAN-based fault diagnosis method are further substantiated through comprehensive ablation studies.
