Abstract
This paper proposes Feature fusion and Dilated causal convolution model for Bearing Remaining useful life Prediction (FDBRP), an integrated framework for accurate Remaining Useful Life (RUL) prediction of rolling bearings that combines three key innovations: (1) a data augmentation module employing sliding-window processing and two-dimensional feature concatenation with label normalization to enhance signal representation and improve model generalizability, (2) a feature fusion module incorporating an enhanced graph convolutional network for spatial modeling, an improved multi-scale temporal convolution for dynamic pattern extraction, and an efficient multi-scale attention mechanism to optimize spatiotemporal feature consistency, and (3) an optimized dilated convolution module utilizing interval sampling to expand the receptive field, and combines the residual connection structure to realize the regularization of the neural network and enhance the ability of the model to capture long-range dependencies. Experimental validation showcases the effectiveness of proposed approach, achieving a high average score of 0.756564 and demonstrating a lower average error of 10.903656 in RUL prediction for test bearings compared to state-of-the-art benchmarks. This highlights the superior RUL prediction capability of the proposed methodology.
