Graph Convolutional Neural Network Algorithms for Bearing Remaining Useful Life Prediction: A Review
摘要
The precise prediction of the bearing's remaining useful life (RUL) is of paramount importance in ensuring equipment reliability within the mechanical industry. Currently, the realization of intelligent operational management and maintenance for mechanical systems utilizing deep learning (DL) is regarded as the foremost appealing research direction. Different from traditional DL techniques, the graph convolutional neural network (GCN) has become a promising technique for predicting the bearing RUL, due to its capability of handling non-Euclidean space and aggregating neighbor data. In the paper, the traditional RUL prediction methods are reviewed firstly. Subsequently, the principle of GCN is elaborated in detail, and classifications of its variants are presented. The taxonomy distinguishes spatial-GCN architectures from spectral-GCN frameworks. Finally, current GCN applications in bearing RUL prediction are reviewed, with emerging research challenges systematically outlined.
