Abstract

Remaining useful life (RUL) prediction as the key technique of prognostics and health management (PHM) has been extensively investigated. The application of data-driven methods in RUL prediction has advanced greatly in recent years. However, a large number of model parameters, low prediction accuracy, and lack of interpretability of prediction results are common problems of current data-driven methods. In this paper, we propose a Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) with Self-Attention mechanism-based hybrid framework for aircraft engine RUL prognostics. Specifically, the self-attention mechanism is employed to learn the differences and interactions between features, and reasonably map high-dimensional features to low-dimensional spaces. Subsequently, PINN is utilized to regularize the end-to-end prediction network, which maps features to RUL. The RUL prediction framework termed AttnPINN has verified its superiority on the Commercial Modular AeroPropulsion System Simulation (C-MAPSS) dataset. It achieves state-of-the-art prediction performance with a small number of parameters, resulting in computation-light features. Furthermore, its prediction results are highly interpretable and can accurately predict failure modes, thereby enabling precise predictive maintenance.

Configuration

• matplotlib==3.3.2
• numpy==1.21.6
• scikit_learn==1.0.2
• torch==1.11.0
• torchsummary==1.5.1

If you want to install the required environments one by one, you can copy the following codes:

pip install matplotlib==3.3.2
pip install numpy==1.21.6
pip install scikit_learn==1.0.2
pip install torch==1.11.0
pip install torchsummary==1.5.1

or use this:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Quick Start

Running the project with the following code:

python main.py

In main.py, it includes training, predicting and drawing functions.

By default, only predicting function will run and the output will be:

Test_RMSE: 18.37,   Score: 2058.5

If you want to train the model by yourself:hammer::hammer:, you can uncomment the train function in main.py.

#pinn.train(1000) => pinn.train(1000)

And then, the output will be:

It: 0,   Valid_RUL_RMSE: 100.92
It: 1,   Valid_RUL_RMSE: 99.87
It: 2,   Valid_RUL_RMSE: 40.89
It: 3,   Valid_RUL_RMSE: 40.76
It: 4,   Valid_RUL_RMSE: 40.74
It: 5,   Valid_RUL_RMSE: 40.74
It: 6,   Valid_RUL_RMSE: 35.48
It: 7,   Valid_RUL_RMSE: 20.47
It: 8,   Valid_RUL_RMSE: 18.70
It: 9,   Valid_RUL_RMSE: 18.27
