Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rotor system is a fundamental component of rotating equipment such as aero-engines, wind turbines, and high-speed trains, playing a vital role in modern society. Due to the diversity of operational requirements, rotor systems frequently operate under high-speed, heavy-load, and variable conditions, inevitably leading to fatigue damage and significant economic losses or even casualties. Condition monitoring and intelligent diagnosis of rotor system components (bearings, gears, rotor shafts) are essential and meaningful. Furthermore, novel methods based on machine learning, deep learning, and transfer learning have been developed, providing effective technical solutions for evaluating rotor system conditions and identifying specific types of faults.
Health monitoring and intelligent fault diagnosis constitute an interdisciplinary field thriving through dynamic intellectual exchange. The planned Special Issue of Signal aims to serve as a forum for researchers and industrial engineers to share the latest advancements in condition monitoring and intelligent fault diagnosis of rotor system, while addressing critical issues, challenges, and potential future trends in modern Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) systems. Papers accepted for this Special Issue are expected to showcase cutting-edge data-driven design methodologies, particularly new theoretical achievements with practical application value. We sincerely invite global experts to contribute their research, covering but not limited to the following areas.

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. Signals is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1200 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.
