Fault Diagnosis and Condition Monitoring of Transmission Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Transmission systems are used in mechanical equipment in a variety of industries, such as mining, automobile, aerospace, and shipping. This field of research is developing in the direction of large-scale, high-speed, automated, intelligent, and environmentally friendly systems as the level of industry, science, and technology continues to improve. There has been a gradual improvement in performance, a continual improvement in its function, and a growing complexity in structure. This poses some challenges in the condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of transmission systems.

This Special Issue, entitled “Fault Diagnosis and Condition Monitoring of Transmission Systems”, aims to provide a platform to disseminate research findings from both academia and industry on the failure mechanisms, fault characterization, and condition monitoring of transmission systems and their components (e.g., gear, shaft, and bearings).

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Signal acquisition and sensing technology;
• Fault mechanism–symptom relationship;
• Signal processing and feature extraction;
• Intelligent diagnosis and decision-making methods.

We welcome papers in the form of state-of-the-art reviews, original research, and real-world applications.

Please contact us if you have any questions regarding submission.

Best regards,

Prof. Dr. Guobin Li
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
