The accurate prediction of the remaining useful life (RUL) of rolling bearings is of immense importance in ensuring the safe and smooth operation of machinery and equipment. Although the prediction accuracy has been improved by a predictive model based on deep learning, it is still limited in engineering because lots of models use single-scale features to predict and assume that the degradation data of each bearing has a consistent distribution. In this paper, A deep convolutional migration network based on spatial pyramid pooling (SPP-CNNTL) is proposed to obtain higher prediction accuracy with self-extraction of multi-feature from the original vibrating signal. And to consider the differences of the data distribution in different failure types, transfer learning (TL) added with maximum mean difference (MMD) measurement function is used in the RUL prediction part. Finally, the data of IEEE PHM 2012 Challenge is used for verification, and the results show that the method in this paper has high prediction accuracy.

High precision and multi information prediction results of bearing remaining useful life (RUL) can effectively describe the uncertainty of bearing health state and operation state. Aiming at the problem of feature efficient extraction and RUL prediction during rolling bearings operation degradation process, through data reduction and key features mining analysis, a new feature vector based on time-frequency domain joint feature is found to describe the bearings degradation process more comprehensively. In order to keep the effective information without increasing the scale of neural network, a joint feature compression calculation method based on redefined degradation indicator (DI) was proposed to determine the input data set. By combining the temporal convolution network with the quantile regression (TCNQR) algorithm, the probability density forecasting at any time is achieved based on kernel density estimation (KDE) for the conditional distribution of predicted values. The experimental results show that the proposed method can obtain the point prediction results with smaller errors. Compared with the existing quantile regression of long short-term memory network(LSTMQR), the proposed method can construct more accurate prediction interval and probability density curve, which can effectively quantify the uncertainty of bearing running state.

Slewing Bearings

Diagnosing the failure or predicting the performance state of low-speed and heavy-load slewing bearings is a practical and effective method to reduce unexpected stoppage or optimize the maintenances. Many literatures focus on the performance prediction of small rolling bearings, while studies on slewing bearings' health evaluation are very rare. Among these rare studies, supervised or unsupervised data-driven models are often used alone, few researchers devote to remaining useful life (RUL) prediction using the joint application of two learning modes which could fully take diversity and complexity of slewing bearings' degradation and damage into consideration. Therefore, this paper proposes a clustering-based framework with aids of supervised models and multiple physical signals. Correlation analysis and principle component analysis (PCA)-based multiple sensitive features in time-domain are used to establish the performance recession indicators (PRIs) of torque, temperature, and vibration. Subsequently, these three indicators are divided into several parts representing different degradation periods via optimized self-organizing map (OSOM). Finally, corresponding data-driven life models of these degradation periods are generated. Experimental results indicate that multiple physical signals can effectively describe the degradation process. The proposed clustering-based framework is provided with a more accurate prediction of slewing bearings' RUL and well reflects the performance recession periods.

Prognostics, such as remaining useful life (RUL) prediction, is a crucial task in condition-based maintenance. A major challenge in data-driven prognostics is the difficulty of obtaining a sufficient number of samples of failure progression. However, for traditional machine learning methods and deep neural networks, enough training data is a prerequisite to train good prediction models. In this work, we proposed a transfer learning algorithm based on Bi-directional Long Short-Term Memory (BLSTM) recurrent neural networks for RUL estimation, in which the models can be first trained on different but related datasets and then fine-tuned by the target dataset. Extensive experimental results show that transfer learning can in general improve the prediction models on the dataset with a small number of samples. There is one exception that when transferring from multi-type operating conditions to single operating conditions, transfer learning led to a worse result.

For bearing remaining useful life prediction problem, the traditional machine-learning-based methods are generally short of feature representation ability and incapable of adaptive feature extraction. Although deep-learning-based remaining useful life prediction methods proposed in recent years can effectively extract discriminative features for bearing fault, these methods tend to less consider temporal information of fault degradation process. To solve this problem, a new remaining useful life prediction approach based on deep feature representation and long short-term memory neural network is proposed in this article. First, a new criterion, named support vector data normalized correlation coefficient, is proposed to automatically divide the whole bearing life as normal state and fast degradation state. Second, deep features of bearing fault with good representation ability can be obtained from convolutional neural network by means of the marginal spectrum in Hilbert–Huang transform of raw vibration signals and health state label. Finally, by considering the temporal information of degradation process, these features are fed into a long short-term memory neural network to construct a remaining useful life prediction model. Experiments are conducted on bearing data sets of IEEE PHM Challenge 2012. The results show the significance of performance improvement of the proposed method in terms of predictive accuracy and numerical stability.

The bearings’ degradation features are crucial to assess the performance degradation and predict the remaining useful life of rolling bearings. So far, numerous degradation features have been proposed. Many researchers have devoted to use dimensionality reduction methods to reduce the redundancy of those features. However, they have not considered the properties and similarity of those features. In this paper, we present a simple way to reduce dimensionality by classifying different features based on their trends. And the degradation features can be classified into two subdivisions, namely, uptrends and downtrends. In each subdivision, there exists visible trend similarity, and we have introduced two indexes to measure this similarity. By selecting the representative features of the subdivision, the multifeatures can be dimensionality reduced. Through the comparison, the root mean square and sample entropy are two good representatives of uptrend and downtrend features. This method gives an alternative way for dimensionality reduction of the rolling bearings’ degradation features.
