Abstract:

Aiming at the system level remaining useful life (RUL) prediction of complex equipment, a fusion prediction method combining Bayesian theory with simulation is proposed. Firstly, the simulation method is used to convert the multi-source failure information from the single machine level to the system level, and then to the prior distribution. Then, the post test distribution of multi-source information is obtained by combining the field test data at the system level, and the joint post test distribution is determined by weighted fusion, so as to predict the RUL of the system. Finally, a system is taken as an example to verify the method. The results show that the proposed method provides a feasible idea for the system RUL prediction, and can be applied in engineering practice.

Key words: life prediction, Bayesian theory, stochastic simulation, multi-source information
