In-Wheel Motor Fault Diagnosis Method Based on Two-Stream 2DCNNs with DCBA Module

To address the challenge of fault diagnosis for in-wheel motors in four-wheel independent driving systems under variable driving conditions and harsh environments, this paper proposes a novel method based on two-stream 2DCNNs (two-dimensional convolutional neural networks) with a DCBA (depthwise con...

description To address the challenge of fault diagnosis for in-wheel motors in four-wheel independent driving systems under variable driving conditions and harsh environments, this paper proposes a novel method based on two-stream 2DCNNs (two-dimensional convolutional neural networks) with a DCBA (depthwise convolution block attention) module. The main contributions are twofold: (1) A DCBA module is introduced to extract multi-scale features—including prominent, local, and average information—from grayscale images reconstructed from vibration signals across different domains; and (2) a two-stream network architecture is designed to learn complementary feature representations from time-domain and time–frequency-domain signals, which are fused through fully connected layers to improve diagnostic accuracy. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves high recognition accuracy under various working speeds, loads, and road surfaces. Comparative studies with SENet, ECANet, CBAM, and single-stream 2DCNN models confirm its superior performance and robustness. The integration of DCBA with dual-domain feature learning effectively enhances fault feature extraction under complex operating conditions.
