Remaining useful life (RUL) predictions of hydraulic components are critical to the operational reliability of hydraulic systems. Currently, research on highly reliable hydraulic components is primarily limited to simulation models, few faulty components or accelerated life tests. Moreover, RUL predictions are mainly limited to multi-source condition monitoring data, potentially leading to difficulties in ensuring long-term RUL prediction accuracy. To address these issues, this paper proposes a RUL prediction method based on long-life test and Bayesian joint model with data augmentation. First, seven solenoid valves were subjected to a long-life test lasting over 2.2 million times for 20 months. Second, a data augmentation method was utilized to increase the size of the RUL prediction training set. Finally, a Bayesian joint model was designed to identify random association relationships among condition monitoring, inspection and event data. The accuracy and confidence of the proposed method has been validated by long-life test datasets.

Weibull Distribution
The Weibull distribution is a flexible model used in parametric survival analysis. It can handle both increasing and decreasing hazard rates, depending on its shape parameter...
Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
