What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Can heterogeneous physical degradation systems benefit from joint pretraining and move beyond system-specific prognostics toward reusable cross-system representation learning? CORD combines type-specific observation interfaces with a shared degradation backbone. Its two self-supervised objectives learn at complementary scales: Intra-Observation Structure Modeling (ISM) captures structure within observations, while Inter-Observation Dynamics Modeling (IDM) captures latent degradation evolution across observation histories. We evaluate CORD under two transfer boundaries: Pretraining-Included System Types, where downstream datasets and held-out units are unseen but their system types are represented during source pretraining, and Pretraining-Excluded System Types, where the entire turbofan-engine type is absent from pretraining. Across bearings, batteries, and cutting tools, CORD (Multi-domain) consistently improves over CORD (Single-domain) under Frozen adaptation, provides further gains under Full FT in most settings, and remains competitive with representative external baselines. Source-pretrained initialization also improves low-label adaptation to the pretraining-excluded engine type. Frozen-representation analysis further shows improved cross-unit lifecycle consistency after multi-domain pretraining. Joint pretraining across heterogeneous physical systems thus produces degradation representations reusable across devices, datasets, and system types.
