PHYSICAL COMPONENT PREDICTED REMAINING USEFUL LIFE
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- generating, by a computing device comprising at least one processor, a set of predicted load values for at least one physical component, each predicted load value from the set of predicted load values corresponding uniquely to one of an ordered sequence of index values;
determining, by the computing device, a set of predicted wear indicator values corresponding to the at least one physical component, each predicted wear indicator value of the set of predicted wear indicator values corresponding uniquely to one of the ordered sequence of index values and determined based on one of the predicted load values from the set of predicted load values that corresponds to a sequentially previous index value and one of the predicted wear indicator values from the set of predicted wear indicator values that corresponds to the sequentially previous index value;
determining, by the computing device, a predicted amount of remaining useful life of the at least one physical component based on the set of predicted wear indicator values; and
outputting, by the computing device, an indication of the predicted amount of remaining useful life of the at least one physical component.

Abstract
In one example, a method includes generating a set of predicted load values for at least one physical component, each predicted load value corresponding uniquely to one of an ordered sequence of index values. The method further includes determining a set of predicted wear indicator values corresponding to the at least one physical component. Each predicted wear indicator value corresponds uniquely to one of the ordered sequence of index values and is determined based on one of the predicted load values that corresponds to a sequentially previous index value and one of the predicted wear indicator values that corresponds to the sequentially previous index value. The method further includes determining a predicted amount of remaining useful life of the at least one physical component based on the set of predicted wear indicator values, and outputting an indication of the predicted amount of remaining useful life.
