Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Industrial machines for different materials processing constitute the basis of any technological chain. At the design stage, developers of machines optimize them for better performance, less energy consumption and required strength capacity along with endurance. However, during the operation, different factors such as excessive wear of parts or improper maintenance play a dominant role in the overall reliability of machines and affect the final product quality. The variable operating conditions cause non-stationary loading and different kinds of unpredicted dynamic effects in industrial machines like tumbling mills, drilling machines, steel rolling mills, underground longwall shearers, excavators, belt conveyors, vibrating screens, load-haul-dump vehicles, etc.
Online vibration monitoring systems can be efficiently used not only for failure prevention and remaining useful life prediction but also in machine dynamics control and process stability supervising. However, extended studies are required on modal analysis and internal structural resonances including the mutual influence of treated material and machine tools depending on specific features of technology. Dynamics of certain industrial machines may exhibit numerous nonlinear phenomena, which may occur due to clearances in the drivelines, gear meshing, synchronization of coupled drives, friction-induced oscillations and natural modes variation. Application of the appropriate analytical models and selection of signal processing methods has a significant effect on dynamics control, process stability, product quality and safe operation of machines. Even a small reduction in dynamics may have a great effect on the overall machine performance and reliability.
This is a call for papers for a Special Issue on "Dynamics Control and Vibration Monitoring in Industrial Machines". This Special Issue will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange their latest theoretical and engineering achievements in the analysis of dynamic phenomena of industrial machines. The general goal is to identify critical issues and challenges in the design and operation of machines having a complicated structure. Results of on-site experimental research are mostly encouraged for submission. The theoretical papers accepted into this Special Issue are expected to contain original ideas and potential solutions available for real problems resolving.
Topics include, but are not limited to, the following domains:
- Model-based control of machines dynamics and process supervision;
- Influence of treated material on machines dynamics;
- Active vibration control and passive damping;
- Case studies of different resonances in the machines;
- Methods of signal processing and data mining for faults diagnostics;
- Torsional vibrations in the drivelines of rotating machines;
- Self-excited vibrations (friction-induced and regenerative chatter);
- Shock and vibration in high-power hydraulic systems;
- Modal analysis and design optimization of the multi-body systems;
- Diagnostics of clearances in the bearings and powertrains couplings;
- Instrumentation for condition monitoring in a harsh environment;
- Strength capacity under stochastic loading with non-Gaussian distribution;
- Cyclic fatigue calculation and remaining useful life prediction.
