Fault Diagnosis and Vibration Signal Processing in Rotor Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Rotor systems are kernel components of rotating machinery and are applied in most industrial fields, such as aero-engines, gas turbines, steam turbines, generators, electric motors, and mechanical manufacturing. Meanwhile, some renewable energy systems contain a lot of rotating subsystems, such as synchronous generators, wind power systems, power-driven machines, and bearing systems. With the performance improvements of the rotating machinery, the complications of structural design are ever increasing. Vibration is integral to these rotating systems, especially in high-speed rotating systems, and the almost all the faults may show special characteristic compared with regular work. The aim of this Special Issue is to compile original research and review articles on the topics of fault diagnosis and related vibration signal processing. Submissions about the current state of dynamic analysis, as well as advances in, structural optimization of, and vibration control of nonlinear rotor systems are welcome. Research on theories, simulations, experiments, and engineering applications are all welcome. We hope that this Special Issue will create an academic discussion in the field.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
