Overview

Experimental study demonstrates 98.87% diagnosis accuracy across bearing fault conditions, suggesting physics-guided gated fusion improves mechanical health monitoring.

Key Points

To develop a physics-guided deep learning framework that reliably distinguishes fine-grained bearing fault states exhibiting similar characteristic frequency responses.
Designed the Physics-Guided Raw-Dominant Gated Fusion Network (PG-RDGFN), retaining raw vibration as the primary input and using envelope spectra as complementary evidence.
Integrated a sample-wise gating mechanism guided by characteristic-frequency physical confidence, constrained by physical-consistency and raw-branch auxiliary loss functions.
Benchmarked the network against SVM, MLP, 1D-CNN, CNN-LSTM, and TCN models on an eight-class diagnosis dataset from Paderborn University.
PG-RDGFN achieved a superior classification accuracy of 98.87% on the eight-class bearing dataset, outperforming all comparison models including TCN and CNN-LSTM.
Ablation and gate-consistency evaluations confirmed that the physics-guided gating mechanism, auxiliary supervision, and envelope branch significantly enhance fine-grained diagnostic capability.
