With the increasing demand for intelligent fault monitoring, acoustic-based diagnosis has emerged as a promising solution for industrial applications such as pipeline leakage and electrical equipment fault detection. However, complex working conditions and domain shifts significantly degrade model performance, especially when unseen target domain data is unavailable. To address this, we propose an amplitude-phase collaborative augmentation network named AP-CANet tailored for acoustic fault diagnosis. Specifically, the network adaptively aligns amplitude and phase features across multiple source domains and performs label-consistent sample augmentation to enrich data diversity while preserving semantic consistency. A frequency–spatial interaction module further integrates global spectral information with local temporal details to improve feature discriminability. Moreover, we introduce a manifold triplet loss that scales shortest path distances in the feature manifold, encouraging the model to better capture subtle distinctions among hard samples and improving intra-class compactness and inter-class separability. We evaluate the proposed method on two publicly available datasets: the Pipeline Leak Acoustic Dataset (GPLA-12) and the Electrical Sound Dataset (MIMII-DG). Experimental results demonstrate superior performance under domain-shift scenarios, highlighting the method’s potential for scalable and low-cost acoustic fault diagnosis in real-world industrial environments.
