When using multi-sensor information fusion technology to evaluate the health status of motors, there are outliers and missing values in the monitoring data of mine motors. However, deep learning models such as convolutional neural networks and recurrent neural networks find it difficult to effectively extract data features and update network weights when the data quality is severely degraded, resulting in problems such as vanishing or exploding gradients. In order to solve the above problems, A CNN-GRU (CNN-GRU-AMSA) model based on adaptive multi-scale attention mechanism is proposed to evaluate the health status of mine motors. Firstly, the model fills in, removes, and standardizes the motor operation data collected by sensors, and classifies the operating conditions of mine motors based on environmental temperature changes. Secondly, based on the Mahalanobis distance, the health index (HI) of health evaluation indicators such as motor current, three-phase temperature of motor winding, front bearing temperature of motor, and rear bearing temperature of motor are calculated. The Savitzky Golay filter is used to denoise, smooth, and normalize the HI indicator. Combining the contribution of different indicators calculated by principal component analysis method to mine motors, the weighted fusion of indicator HI is used to obtain the mine motor HI. Finally, the mine motor HI is input into the CNN-GRU-AMSA model, which dynamically adjusts attention weights to achieve information fusion of features at different scales, thereby accurately outputting the health status evaluation results of the motor. The experimental results show that compared with other common deep learning models such as CNN, CNN-GRU, CNN-LSTM, and CNN-LSTM Attention, the CNN-GRU-AMSA model performs better in evaluation metrics such as root mean square error, mean absolute error, accuracy, Macro F1, and MicroF1. The model has a smaller fluctuation range and better stability in predicting residuals.

To more precisely assess the reliability of wind turbine gears, a competing failure model is established with consideration given to the degradation of internal fatigue strength and external random shocks. Firstly, the nonlinear Gamma process is adopted to depict the degradation of fatigue strength, and the strength‐stress interference theory is used to establish the threshold of degradation failure that changes over time. Also, the non‐homogeneous Poisson process is employed to depict the arrival of the shock, and classification of the shocks. Secondly, the correlation between degradation and shock is described, while the effect of shocks on degradation is demonstrated as a sudden increase in the extent of degradation. Besides, the decline rate of residual strength curve is introduced to describe the change in intensity parameters of the Poisson process, and then the effect of degradation on shocks is described. Finally, the sun gear in the wind turbine gearbox is an example. Monte Carlo simulation is used to calculate the reliability of the dependent competing failure model. This is then compared with the conventional stress‐strength interference model. The results verify that when the relationship between degradation and the shock process is disregarded, the reliability of gears may be overestimated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
