Monitoring the dynamic behaviors of self-aligning roller bearings (SABs) is vital to guarantee the stability of various mechanical systems. This study presents a novel self-powered, intelligent, and self-aligning roller bearing (I-SAB) with which to monitor rotational speeds and bias angles; it also has an application in fault diagnosis. The designed I-SAB is compactly embedded with a novel sweep-type triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG). The TENG is realized within the proposed I-SAB using a comb-finger electrode pair and a flannelette triboelectric layer. A floating, sweeping, and freestanding mode is utilized, which can prevent collisions and considerably enhance the operational life of the embedded TENG. Experiments are subsequently conducted to optimize the output performance and sensing sensitivity of the proposed I-SAB. The results of a speed-sensing experiment show that the characteristic frequencies of triboelectric current and voltage signals are both perfectly proportional to the rotational speed, indicating that the designed I-SAB has the self-sensing capability for rotational speed. Additionally, as both the bias angle and rotational speed of the SAB increase, the envelope amplitudes of the triboelectric voltage signals generated by the I-SAB rise at a rate of 0.0057 V·deg·rpm. To further demonstrate the effectiveness of the triboelectric signals emitted from the designed I-SAB in terms of self-powered fault diagnosis, a Multi-Scale Discrimination Network (MSDN), based on the ResNet18 architecture, is proposed in order to classify the various fault conditions of the SAB. Using the triboelectric voltage and current signals emitted from the designed I-SAB as inputs, the proposed MSDN model yields excellent average diagnosis accuracies of 99.8% and 99.1%, respectively, indicating its potential for self-powered fault diagnosis.

When the fault diagnosis datasets contains noise disturbances, small samples, compound faults, and mixed conditions, the feature extraction capability of the neural network will face significant challenges. This paper proposes an end-to-end multi-scale residual network with parallel attention mechanism to address the above complex problems. Firstly, the adaptive mixing pooling method is employed to facilitate the model's ability to retain effective feature information present within the timing signal.

The degradation of clamping force in the core support barrel, which forms the internal structure of a nuclear power plant, has the potential to significantly impact the plant's safety and reliability. Previous studies have concentrated on the detection of clamping force degradation but have been constrained in their ability to identify the precise size and position. This study proposes a novel methodology for diagnosing the size and position of clamping force degradation in core support barrels, combining deep-learning techniques and dynamic time warping (DTW) algorithms.

Railway traction motor bearings (RTMB) are critical components in high-speed trains (HST) that are particularly susceptible to failure due to the high stress and rotational frequency they experience. To address the challenge of high false-positive rates in existing monitoring systems, this paper introduces a novel sensorless monitoring scheme that leverages stator current to detect fault-related characteristics, eliminating the need for additional sensors. This approach employs a hybrid signal preprocessing algorithm that integrates adaptive notch filtering (ANF) with envelope spectrum analysis (ESA) to effectively sparse the stator current and extract relevant fault features.
