Advanced Sensing Applications for Fault Diagnosis and Reliability Analysis of Elector-Mechanical Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Electro-mechanical systems have become increasingly favored due to their significant advantages such as their low noise, flexibility and convenient maintenance. The ability of electro-mechanical systems for fault diagnosis and reliability analysis is very important, especially for various forms of safety-oriented equipment. Advanced sensing technologies are important prerequisites for fault diagnosis and reliability analysis. This Special Issue aims to highlight research into novel sensors and sensing methods, data processing and sensor fusion, and typical applications for fault diagnosis and reliability analysis with elector-mechanical systems.

The goal of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for interdisciplinary research that bridges the gap between sensor technologies, sensing methods, and intelligent fault diagnosis systems, enabling the rapid development of reliability and safety technologies for electro-mechanical systems.

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

• Design and manufacturing of precision sensors for electro-mechanical systems;
• Active and passive sensing methods for electro-mechanical systems;
• Advanced signal processing and data processing for electro-mechanical systems;
• Sensor fusion techniques for electro-mechanical systems;
• Fault diagnosis methods for electro-mechanical systems;
• Reliability analysis methods for electro-mechanical systems.

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. 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.
