The invention discloses an engine elastic support residual life prediction method based on PCA and a BP neural network, and belongs to the technical field of vehicle part life prediction. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, acquiring multi-dimensional signals such as
vibration acceleration and displacement of the elastic support of the engine through a full-life-cycle test, extracting characteristic parameters such as an effective value, inherent frequency and
vibration isolation rate, and constructing an original
characteristic matrix; secondly, standardizing the characteristic parameters by adopting a Z-
score method, performing
dimensionality reduction on standardized data by utilizing PCA, extracting key principal components, and reducing
data redundancy and
noise; then, taking the dimensionality-reduced features as the input of a BP neural network, constructing a multilayer neural
network structure, optimizing network parameters through training, and adopting an early stop method and L2 regularization to prevent
overfitting; and finally, realizing high-precision prediction of the residual life by utilizing the trained model. According to the method, PCA and BP neural networks are fused, the problems of
data redundancy,
model complexity and low prediction precision in a traditional method are effectively solved, and the method has the advantages of being high in generalization ability, high in
automation degree and wide in applicability.
