Remaining Useful Life Prediction of Bearing with Vibration Signals Based on a Novel Indicator by Bo Wu, Wei Li, Ming-quan Qiu

“…Aiming at reducing the production downtime and maintenance cost, prognostics and health management (PHM) of rotating machinery often includes the remaining useful life (RUL) prediction of bearings. In this paper, a method combining the generalized Weibull failure rate function (WFRF) and radial basis function (RBF) neural network is developed to deal with the RUL prediction of bearings. …”
