Claim 6:
7. A system for estimating remaining useful life of a bearing, the system comprising:
one or more sources configured to provide operational data associated with the bearing; and
an apparatus communicatively coupled to the one or more sources, wherein the apparatus is configured to estimate remaining useful life of the bearing based on the operational data, the estimation of the remaining useful life of the bearing comprising:
receipt, by a processing unit, a request for analysis of a defect in the bearing from a source, wherein the request comprises operational data associated with the bearing;
monitor of an impact of the defect on the bearing over a period of time;
determination of a time period during which the impact of the defect on the bearing is higher than a threshold range using a machine learning model, the time period being indicative of a time duration in which the bearing enters and leaves the defect;
computation of a severity of the impact associated with the defect during the time period by computation of a defect size corresponding to the defect based on a duration of the time period;
determination, using a virtual model of the bearing, of a remaining useful life of the bearing based on the severity and the operational data during the time period, wherein the virtual model is generated based on simulation data, experimental data, mathematical data, or any combination thereof associated with a plurality of other bearings; and
generation of a notification indicating the remaining useful life of the bearing on an output device.
