In recent years, several time-frequency representation (TFR) and convolutional neural network- (CNN-) based approaches have been proposed to provide reliable remaining useful life (RUL) estimation for bearings. However, existing methods cannot tackle the spatiotemporal continuity between adjacent TFRs since temporal proposals are considered individually and their temporal dependencies are neglected. In allusion to this problem, a novel prognostic approach based on discrete cosine transformation (DCT) and temporal adjacent convolutional neural network (TACNN) is proposed. Wavelet transform (WT) is applied to effectively map the raw signals to the time frequency domain. Considering the high load and complexity of model computation, bilinear interpolation and DCT algorithm are introduced to convert TFRs into low-dimensional DCT spectrum coding matrix with strong sparsity. Furthermore, the TACNN model is proposed which is capable of learning discriminative features for temporal adjacent DCT spectrum coding matrix. Effectiveness of the proposed method is verified on the PRONOSTIA dataset, and experiment results show that the proposed model is able to realize automatic high-precision estimation of bearings RUL with high efficiency.

AbstractThe remaining useful life (RUL) estimation of bearings is critical for ensuring the reliability of mechanical systems. Owing to the rapid development of deep learning methods, a multitude of data-driven RUL estimation approaches have been proposed recently. However, the following problems remain in existing methods: 1) Most network models use raw data or statistical features as input, which renders it difficult to extract complex fault-related information hidden in signals; 2) for current observations, the dependence between current states is emphasized, but their complex dependence on previous states is often disregarded; 3) the output of neural networks is directly used as the estimated RUL in most studies, resulting in extremely volatile prediction results that lack robustness. Hence, a novel prognostics approach is proposed based on a time–frequency representation (TFR) subsequence, three-dimensional convolutional neural network (3DCNN), and Gaussian process regression (GPR). The approach primarily comprises two aspects: construction of a health indicator (HI) using the TFR-subsequence–3DCNN model, and RUL estimation based on the GPR model. The raw signals of the bearings are converted into TFR-subsequences by continuous wavelet transform and a dislocated overlapping strategy. Subsequently, the 3DCNN is applied to extract the hidden spatiotemporal features from the TFR-subsequences and construct HIs. Finally, the RUL of the bearings is estimated using the GPR model, which can also define the probability distribution of the potential function and prediction confidence. Experiments on the PRONOSTIA platform demonstrate the superiority of the proposed TFR-subsequence–3DCNN–GPR approach. The use of degradation-related spatiotemporal features in signals is proposed herein to achieve a highly accurate bearing RUL prediction with uncertainty quantification.

Remaining useful life (RUL) prediction is necessary for guaranteeing machinery’s safe operation. Among deep learning architectures, convolutional neural network (CNN) has shown achievements in RUL prediction because of its strong ability in representation learning. Features from different receptive fields extracted by different sizes of convolution kernels can provide complete information for prognosis. The single size convolution kernel in traditional CNN is difficult to learn comprehensive information from complex signals. Besides, the ability to learn local and global features synchronously is limited to conventional CNN. Thus, a multiscale convolutional neural network (MS-CNN) is introduced to overcome these aforementioned problems. Convolution filters with different dilation rates are integrated to form a dilated convolution block, which can learn features in different receptive fields. Then, several stacked integrated dilated convolution blocks in different depths are concatenated to extract local and global features. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by a bearing dataset prepared from the PRONOSTIA platform. The results turn out that the proposed MS-CNN has higher prediction accuracy than many other deep learning-based RUL methods.
