10th Anniversary of Machines—Feature Papers in Fault Diagnosis and Prognosis

Dear Colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to announce this Special Issue to celebrate the 10^th anniversary of Machines. Machinery condition monitoring is of great importance in the industries. Accurate condition estimation and prediction of the machines can significantly enhance operation safety, increase working efficiency and reduce maintenance costs. Through analysis of the collected machinery condition monitoring data, such as vibration, temperature, images. etc., using signal processing or artificial intelligence methods, the health states of the machines can be well reflected and evaluated. In the past few decades, machinery fault diagnosis and prognosis methodologies have been developing rapidly and achieved great success in both academic research and practical engineering problems. This Special Issue focuses on the recent advancements in machinery fault diagnosis and prognosis. Different perspectives in this research field are all welcomed, including the methodologies or industrial application cases based on physical models, signal processing, data-driven models, data-model fusion, digital twins model, etc. Both original research papers and review papers are invited.
