Remaining useful life (RUL) estimation is an important part in modern prognostic and health management (PHM) approach. In this paper, a particular prognostic named similarity-based RUL estimation is proposed. In some complex condition, typical methods will perform inefficient, and in engineering application background, some traditional methods may be hard implemented. On the other hand, similarity-based RUL estimation approach performs well in thus condition. The basic conception was introduced in the first part and detailed methodology was given in the second part. In this part, a type of Euclidean function was used as similarity-calculation function. In the third part, a case study was conducted to validate the accuracy of the similarity-based prognostic method.
