Decision fusion is an effective way to resolve the conflict of diagnosis results. Aiming at the problem that Dempster-Shafer (DS) theory deals with the high conflict of evidence and produces wrong results, a decision fusion algorithm for fault diagnosis based on closeness and DS theory is proposed. Firstly, the relevant concepts of DS theory are introduced, and the normal distribution membership function is used as the evidence closeness. Secondly, the harmonic average is introduced, and the weight of each evidence is established according to the product of closeness of each evidence and its harmonic average. Thirdly, the weight of conflicting evidence is regularized, and the final decision fusion result is obtained by using the Dempster’s rule. Lastly, the simulation and application examples are designed. Simulation and application results show that the method can effectively reduce the impact of diagnostic information conflicts and improve the accuracy of decision fusion. What’s more, the method considers the overall average distribution of evidence in the identification framework, it can reduce evidence conflicts while preserving important diagnostic information.
