Although data-driven RUL prediction methods have received considerable attention, they typically require massive run-to-failure (R2F) data which is often unavailable in practice. If not properly addressed, training with a limited number of R2F trajectories not only leads to large errors in RUL prediction, but also causes difficulty in quantifying the prediction uncertainty. To address the above challenge, this paper proposes a Bayesian ensemble RUL prediction method that combines mode-dependent relevance vector machine (RVM) and trajectory similarity. Firstly, the proposed approach clusters historical R2F trajectories of unequal lengths into different degradation modes, and constructs RVM and similarity based predictions with improved accuracy by using mode-dependent libraries of kernel functions and similar trajectories. Secondly, the proposed Bayesian ensemble scheme fuses the RVM and similarity based predictions, and quantifies the associated prediction uncertainty even though the number of historical R2F trajectories are limited. In two case studies involving bearings and batteries, using only 11 and 16 R2F trajectories as training data, respectively, the proposed method reduces the mean absolute percentage error of RUL prediction by more than 20% compared to three existing methods.</p>","PeriodicalId":94059,"journal":{"name":"ISA transactions","volume":" ","pages":"307-319"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142690102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To solve this problem, this paper proposes an adaptive evidence reasoning (AER) rule that can adjust weights according to different times and working conditions. The AER rule has two unique features: adaptive weight operation under time division and adaptive weight operation under working-condition division, which are used to solve the problem of dynamic weight adjustment under different times and working conditions.

Optimizing infinite-dimensional performance indexes in coupled Hilbert spaces is not a trivial task. This work is the first to solve the optimal control problem for a coupled PDE-ODE system with actuator dynamics under Neumann boundary conditions. We equivalently reformat the coupled PDE-ODE system into a system with homogeneous boundary conditions and then derive its singular perturbation form in an infinite-dimensional space. Subsequently, by constructing critic and actor networks, we design a novel model-free iterative learning optimal control algorithm where weighted residual techniques are used. The algorithm uses a rich set of arbitrary control policies rather than limiting to evaluation policies, enhancing the exploration capability of the learning algorithm and relaxing the requirement for persistent excitation conditions.

Owing to an inability to eliminate unmeasured disturbances and model inaccuracies simultaneously, the existing results based on the FAS approaches are typically limited to the uniformly ultimate boundedness of the tracking errors. To achieve the asymptotic tracking performance confronted with parametric uncertainties and time-varying disturbances, an ARISE feedback controller with desired compensation is synthesized to suppress the adverse effects arising from nonlinearity and uncertainty of the system. The improvements compared to the traditional RISE feedback control are attributed to two aspects: (i) the feedback gains in the RISE term are adjustable-online without having to know the prior bounds of disturbances and their time derivatives; (ii) a desired compensation-based adaptive feedforward term, primarily employing the desired trajectories in place of the measured states, could weaken the underlying interaction between the adaptive compensation and robustness part. A rigorous stability analysis is provided to demonstrate that the system state can asymptotically track a bounded desired trajectory in spite of bounded disturbances and parametric uncertainties.
