Artificial Rabbits Optimized Mamba-Transformer Network for Aircraft Turbofan Engine Remaining Useful Life Prediction

, D. Lakshmi, D. Karthikeyan

Air hazards caused by component deterioration is evaded by forecasting the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of turbofan engines, which is a vital process in health management and prognostics. Thus, an Artificial Rabbits Optimised Mamba-Transformer Network (AROA-MTN) for accurate turbofan engine RUL estimate is developed in this paper. To find important patterns, variations, and deterioration features, the framework first pre-processes the data gathered from CMAPSS Jet Engine Simulated Data using data visualisation and Exploratory data analysis (EDA). The MTN model efficiently captures both complicated temporal linkages and long-term sequential dependencies in engine operating data by combining the Mamba architecture with a Transformer network. The Artificial Rabbits Optimisation (ARO) is employed to optimise important network parameters and enhance the learning process to further raise model performance. To assess the accuracy, robustness, and generalisation potential of the developed method, the outcomes are evaluated in Python tool, reveals the RMSE of 0.0155. Therefore, the AROA-MTN framework offers an efficient data-driven solution for aircraft engine prognostics and permits reduced operating risk and enhanced engine reliability.
