Abstract: Operating conditions reflect the mission evolution of rotating machinery in specific application scenarios. The monitoring data under different operating conditions exhibit disparate statistic distributions in terms of amplitude and frequency properties. In the modern operation and maintenance, domain adaptation approaches, which align the feature distributions of source and target domains, are commonly employed to address cross-domain diagnosis challenges. However, the availability of the target domain is serendipitous rather than guaranteed. To meet the engineering requirements, a domain feature decoupling network (DFDN) is proposed to achieve the fault diagnosis of rotating machinery under unseen operating conditions. The core concept of DFDN is to decouple the extracted features into domain-related features and fault-related features. These features are then adaptively integrated into domain-invariant features using a significance fusion method, thereby enabling the feature learning and knowledge transfer from seen source domains to unseen target domains. Furthermore, a self-learning joint optimization strategy is developed for DFDN to facilitate the efficient acquisition of generalized diagnosis knowledge. Two bearing datasets from different test rigs are considered to assess the domain generalization performance of DFDN. The experimental results demonstrate the superiority and potential of this method in coping with zero-shot fault diagnosis under unseen operating conditions.
