Abstract:

Aiming at the problem that the key degradation information of mechanical equipment is easy to be submerged in nonlinear, multi-dimensional, long-term and large-scale monitoring data, a method for predicting the remaining useful life of mechanical equipment based on residual convolutional neural network-attentional bidirectional long short-term memory network(RCNN-ABiLSTM) is proposed. Firstly, the RCNN is trained for deep spatial feature extraction of the monitoring data.Then, by introducing the attention mechanism, the weight parameters of the time-related features extracted by BiLSTM are optimized. And the expression of the key degradation information on the remaining life prediction is strengthened. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by the aircraft engine. The analysis results show that the proposed method can accurately find the degradation time point for multi-dimensional monitoring data with complex operating conditions and variable failure modes. The remaining useful life prediction accuracy of long-running equipment is effectively improved.
