Sensors for Machinery Condition Monitoring and Diagnosis

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the number of technological innovations in Industry 4.0 and IoT has been increasing due to the utilization of big data and artificial intelligence (AI), and the era named the Fourth Industrial Revolution is about to come. In order to realize IoT in production/transportation equipment and social infrastructure facilities, effective condition diagnosis technology of equipment, to prevent serious equipment issues and accidents and to ensure safety and security, is also indispensable.

This Special Issue focuses on methods and results obtained in fundamental and applied research pertaining to techniques and systems of condition monitoring and diagnosis for machinery. We welcome everyone from related fields to actively contribute original papers.

The topics of interest for submission in the field of sensors for machinery condition monitoring and diagnosis include, but are not limited to, the following:

(1) Condition diagnosis engineering and technology;

(2) Sensing technology;

(3) Measurement system;

(4) Diagnostic instrument and system;

(5) Fault self-recovery engineering;

(6) Signal processing;

(7) Data and information fusion;

(8) Maintenance robot;

(9) Life prediction;

(10) Others on condition monitoring and diagnosis for machinery
