Prediction of industrial equipment Remaining Useful Life by fuzzy similarity and belief function theory
作者：
Highlights：
• We develop a novel prognostic method for estimating the RUL and its uncertainty.
• The novelty is the combination of fuzzy similarity and Belief Function Theory.
• The method is applied to simulated and real data in ferritic steel and condenser filters.
• Results show that the proposed method is superior to other alternative methods.
• The method aids the maintenance planner to confidently schedule maintenance actions.
