description | Rolling bearings are key components of rotating machinery, and predicting the remaining useful life (RUL) is of great significance in practical industrial scenarios and is being increasingly studied. A precise and reliable remaining useful life prediction result provides valuable information for decision-makers, which is essential to ensure the safety and reliability of mechanical systems. Generally, the RUL label is considered to be an ideal life curve, which is the benchmark for RUL prediction. However, the existing label construction methods make more use of expert experience and seldom mine knowledge from data and combine experience to assist in constructing a health index (HI). In this paper, a novel and simple approach of label construction is proposed for predicting the RUL accurately. More specifically, the degradation index of the multiscale frequency domain is first extracted. Furthermore, the fuzzy C-means (FCM) algorithm is innovatively used to divide the degradation data into several stages to obtain the turning point of degradation. Then, a nonlinear degradation index, the RUL label with the turning point, was constructed based on principal component analysis (PCA). Finally, the recurrent neural network (RNN) is used for prediction and verification. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach, two different bearing lifecycle datasets are gathered and analyzed. The analysis result confirms that the proposed method is able to achieve a better performance, which outperforms some existing methods. |
