Aircraft engines are the typical complex electromechanical system,which have multiple failure modes.The interaction between multiple failures is completing failure in nature,which cause the complexity of residual life prediction for aircraft engines.The residual remaining life prediction method is proposed in consideration of the characteristics of failure modes and law,which is the key and core for aircraft engines.There are two category failure modes,which are degradation failure and sudden failure.In consideration of the mechanism and relation between degradation failure and sudden failure,the residual life prediction system is built.Considering the characteristics of data and failure mode,the residual life prediction for performance degradation and sudden failure is built respectively.Bayesian linear model is used for monitoring information fusion and degradation path is built on the residual life prediction of performance degradation.The mixture Weibull model is built on the basis of failure information and degradation path on the residual life prediction of sudden failure.The advantage of the model is shown and the effectiveness of the method is demonstrated by examples.The results demonstrate residual remaining life prediction based on competing failures has the function of describing the lifetime change law of aircraft engines objectively and accurately.
