Remaining Useful Life Prediction Using Physics-Based Approach and Machine Learning Techniques
摘要
An aircraft and many mechanical machinery have multiple components crucial for proper functioning, out of which printed circuit boards (PCB) play a pivotal role. A PCB has several components mounted on it, each playing an essential role in the overall functioning. Predicting the remaining useful life (RUL) of printed circuit boards (PCBs) is one of the most important things. In the present study, the RUL prediction on a PCB without any components and a PCB with a capacitor fixed is performed, varying the input acceleration values sinusoidally and randomly. The RUL of PCB is estimated by combining a physics-based approach. This Koopman operator is a mathematical tool to transform non-linear dynamic systems into linear ones and a data-driven approach to enhance RUL prediction accuracy. Performance of various models using LSTM network with sigmoid as activation function, Tanh as activation function, and different types of Koopman operators were performed and compared. A hybrid approach combining Koopman operators and LSTM networks effectively predicted the RUL of PCBs in aircraft systems, providing a robust and accurate method for addressing the complexities of RUL estimation in electronic components.
