Data that represent complex and multivariate processes are well known to be multiscale due
to the variety of changes that could occur in a process with different localizations in time and …

The purpose of this book is to give a basic understanding of rotor dynamics phenomena with
the help of simple rotor models and subsequently, the modern analysis methods for real life …

Efforts to understand fatigue in materials generally rely on defining relationships between
the material response to fatigue loading and the evolving remaining material life portion …

An experimental setup is installed to simulate the rotor-to-stator rub of the rotor system. A
special structure of stator is designed that can simulate the condition of the full rub. The …

Acoustic emission (AE) techniques have been rapidly developed for use as powerful fault-
diagnosis tools, especially in fault localization. Traditionally, AE signals were directly used …

Abstract Blade Tip Timing (BTT) has become a promising method for online monitoring of
rotating blades due to its non-contact measurement characteristics. However, due to the …

Acoustic emission (AE) is a common nondestructive evaluation tool that has been used to
monitor fracture in materials and structures. The direct connection between AE events and …

Impacts generated from the surface of a stator rubbing against the surface of a rotor during
its rotation is a common defective phenomenon which often occurs in a rotating machine …

Fault diagnosis of rotating machinery is of great importance to the high quality products and
long-term safe operation. However, the useful weak features are usually corrupted by strong …

Managing asset integrity is crucial for the cost-effective asset management of processing
plants. Consequently, new techniques for detection and classification of incipient faults are …
