A Neutrosophic Set Based Fault Diagnosis Method Based On Multi Stage Fault Template Data

Fault diagnosis is an important issue in various fields and aims to detect and identify the faults of systems, products, and processes. The cause of a fault is complicated due to the uncertainty of the actual environment. Nevertheless, it is difficult to consider uncertain factors adequately with many traditional methods. In addition, the same fault may show multiple features and the same feature might be caused by different faults. In this paper, a neutrosophic set based fault diagnosis method based on multi-stage fault template data is proposed to solve this problem.

Neutrosophy (1995) is a new branch of philosophy that studies triads of the form (, , ), where is an entity {i.e. element, concept, idea, theory, logical proposition, etc.}, is the opposite of , while is the neutral (or indeterminate) between them, i.e., neither nor . Based on neutrosophy, the neutrosophic triplets were founded, which have a similar form (x, neut(x), anti(x)), that satisfy several axioms, for each element x in a given set. This collective book presents original research papers by many neutrosophic researchers from around the world, that report on the state-of-the-art and recent advancements of neutrosophic triplets, neutrosophic duplets, neutrosophic multisets and their algebraic structures – that have been defined recently in 2016 but have gained interest from world researchers. Connections between classical algebraic structures and neutrosophic triplet / duplet / multiset structures are also studied. And numerous neutrosophic applications in various fields, such as: multi-criteria decision making, image segmentation, medical diagnosis, fault diagnosis, clustering data, neutrosophic probability, human resource management, strategic planning, forecasting model, multi-granulation, supplier selection problems, typhoon disaster evaluation, skin lesson detection, mining algorithm for big data analysis, etc.

With the increasing automation of mechanical equipment, fault diagnosis becomes more and more important. However, the factors that cause mechanical failures are becoming more and more complex, and the uncertainty and coupling between the factors are getting higher and higher. In order to solve the given problem, this paper proposes a single-valued neutrosophic set ISVNS algorithm for processing of uncertain and inaccurate information in fault diagnosis, which generates neutrosophic set by triangular fuzzy number and introduces the formula of the improved weighted correlation coefficient. Since both the single-valued neutrosophic set data and the ideal neutrosophic set data are considered, the proposed method solves the fault diagnosis problem more eff ectively. Finally, experiments show that the algorithm can significantly improve the accuracy degree of fault diagnosis, and can better satisfy the diagnostic requirements in practice.

Fault diagnosis is an extensively applied issue to monitor condition and diagnose fault for safe and stable operation of the machine, which started to develop during the industrial revolution and applies various theories and technologies. Due to the growing complexity of contributing factors of a fault and the correlation of fault attributes which are often interrelated, traditional fault diagnosis methods fails to handle with this complex condition. To solve this problem, a new fault diagnosis method based on attributes weighted neutrosophic set is proposed in this paper. In the proposed approach, a attributes weighted model is developed to obtain the weights of attributes by the fault information. For a sample whose fault type is unknown, the neutrosophic set generated from the fault sample data are aggregated via the single valued neutrosophic power weighted averaging (SVNPWA) operator with the obtained attributes weights, then, the fault diagnosis results could be determined by the defuzzification method of fused neutrosophic set. This proposed method have capacity to differentiate the individual impact of attributes and handle the uncertain problems in the process of fault diagnosis. Finally, an illustrative example was provided to demonstrate the reasonableness and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Neutrosophic set is a powerful general formal framework. A lot of studies on neutrosophic had been proposed and recently, in multi-valued interval values. However, sometimes there is problem involving elements of ambiguity and uncertainties in which the function of membership is difficult to be set in a particular case.
