Prognostics and Remaining Useful Life (RUL) Estimation

Maintenance combines various methods, tools, and techniques in a bid to reduce maintenance costs while increasing the reliability, availability, and security of equipment. Condition-based maintenance (CBM) is one such method and Prognostics forms a key element of a CBM program which is based on mathematical models for predicting the remaining useful life (RUL). Current book compares the techniques and models used to estimate the RUL of different assets including review of the relevant literature on prognostic techniques and their use in the industrial field. It describes different approaches and prognosis methods for different assets backed up by appropriate case studies--
