Abstract: A degradation level of a noise source is predicted by performing deep learning using frequency data indicating a vibration of the noise source during a time period and degradation data indicating degradation of the noise source during the predetermined period to determine a state estimation model. First vibration signals are measured at the noise point during a monitoring period. The first vibration signals are converted into a frequency domain, and the frequency domain converted first vibration signals are input into the state estimation model to estimate time series degradation data of degradation of the noise source during the monitoring period. A degradation prediction model is determined by deep learning using the time series degradation data. Degradation data indicating predicted degradation of the noise source during a prediction period are predicted via the degradation prediction model. A remaining useful life of the noise source may be calculated.

Abstract: Noise point data is generated by converting a vibration signal, measured at a source (noise point) of the vibration signal at a first time, into a frequency domain. Sound point data is generated by converting the vibration signal, measured at a sound point (different from the noise point) at the first time, into a frequency domain. Deep learning is applied to the noise point data and the sound point data to generate a noise prediction model for predicting frequency data of a vibration at the noise point using frequency data indicating a vibration at the sound point. The noise prediction model is applied to target vibration signal, measured at the sound point at a second time, to predicting target noise point data indicating vibration at the noise point. The predicted target noise point data is used to diagnose a fault at the noise point.
