Abstract
Accurate fault diagnosis in aerospace transmission systems is essential for ensuring equipment reliability and operational safety, especially for aero-engine bearings. However, current approaches relying on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for Euclidean data and Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) for non-Euclidean structures struggle to simultaneously capture heterogeneous data properties and complex spatio-temporal dependencies. To address these limitations, we propose a novel Spatial–Temporal Hypergraph Fault Diagnosis framework (STHFD). Unlike conventional graphs that model pairwise relations, STHFD employs hypergraphs to represent high-order spatial–temporal correlations more effectively. Specifically, it constructs distinct spatial and temporal hyperedges to capture multi-scale relationships among fault signals. A type-aware hypergraph learning strategy is then applied to encode these correlations into discriminative embeddings. Extensive experiments on aerospace fault datasets demonstrate that STHFD achieves superior classification performance compared to state-of-the-art diagnostic models, highlighting its potential for enhancing intelligent fault detection in complex aerospace systems.
