description Radiator reliability is crucial in environments characterized by high temperatures and friction, where prompt interventions are often required to prevent system failures. This study introduces a proactive approach to radiator fault diagnosis, leveraging the integration of the Gaussian Mixture Model and Long-Short Term Memory autoencoders. Vibration signals from radiators were systematically collected through randomized durability vibration bench tests, resulting in four operating states—two normal, one unknown, and one faulty. Time-domain statistical features of these signals were extracted and subjected to Principal Component Analysis to facilitate efficient data interpretation. Subsequently, this study discusses the comparative effectiveness of the Gaussian Mixture Model and Long Short-Term Memory in fault detection. Gaussian Mixture Models are deployed for initial fault classification, leveraging their clustering capabilities, while Long-Short Term Memory autoencoders excel in capturing time-dependent sequences, facilitating advanced anomaly detection for previously unencountered faults. This alignment offers a potent and adaptable solution for radiator fault diagnosis, particularly in challenging high-temperature or high-friction environments. Consequently, the proposed methodology not only provides a robust framework for early-stage fault diagnosis but also effectively balances diagnostic capabilities during operation. Additionally, this study presents the foundation for advancing reliability life assessment in accelerated life testing, achieved through dynamic threshold adjustments using both the absolute log-likelihood distribution of the Gaussian Mixture Model and the reconstruction error distribution of the Long-Short Term Memory autoencoder model.
