Machine learning and deep learning algorithms for bearing and gear fault detection proved strong expressive power in a laboratory environment, but their transfer to the real world is still a subject of research. This work reviews state-of-the-art methods for automatic fault diagnosis of gearbox components. It was found that incorporating the existing physics-based knowledge of gearbox dynamics could improve the robustness and accuracy of data-driven diagnostic methods and enable their use in real-world applications, for example, in onboard vehicle diagnostic systems. The work elaborates on the situation where it is difficult to obtain labelled experimental fault data, and the learning algorithm training employs physics-based simulations. Multi-body models capable of simulating local bearing faults and gear tooth faults were assembled. The vibration signal is preprocessed with envelope analysis and fed to a domain adaptive neural network that uses one-dimensional convolution for feature extraction and a recurrent cell to capture the spatial relationship between the features. Domain adaptation was found to be a key element for successful simulation data-aided bearing and gear fault diagnosis.
