Abstract The vibration signals of rolling bearing obtained under variable working conditions do not obey the same independent distribution so that the traditional method of bearing fault diagnosis has low accuracy, a fault diagnosis method about rolling bearing based on sparse denoising autoencoder (SDAE) for deep feature extraction combining transfer learning is proposed. First, the bearing vibration signal in the time domain is transformed for frequency domain signal via Fourier transform, which is input into the SDAE for adaptive deep feature extraction. Then, the joint geometrical and statistical alignment is introduced to deal with the deep feature samples for reducing the domain discrepancy both statistically and geometrically. Finally, the k-nearest neighbor classification algorithm is used for completing the fault diagnosis of rolling bearing under variable working conditions. The experimental results show that the method presented in the paper improves the accuracy rate of fault diagnosis about rolling bearing under variable working conditions, verifies its feasibility and effectiveness.

1 Introduction Rolling bearings are an extremely vital part of mechanical equipment, whose running state determines directly the performance of the whole rotating mechanical system, so the research on bearing fault diagnosis is very important [1, 2]. In recent years, the research methods about bearing fault diagnosis are mostly under the assumption of constant working condition [3–5]. When these methods are applied under variable working conditions, the diagnostic effect will be reduced. Therefore, the research on the fault diagnosis and condition monitoring methods of rolling bearing under different working conditions is greatly significant to ensure the healthy operation of mechanical equipment [6].

The traditional fault diagnosis methods mainly use signal processing methods such as time domain [7], frequency domain and time–frequency domain analysis [8–10], or machine learning methods instancing BP neural network or support vector machine and so on [11]. Despite these methods have achieved good results in bearing fault diagnosis, there still exists some problems that the fault feature can be not fully learned and feature selection transitively depends on subjectivity and diagnosis experience.
