This book addresses a range of complex issues associated with condition monitoring (CM), fault diagnosis and detection (FDD) in smart buildings, wide area monitoring (WAM), wind energy conversion systems (WECSs), photovoltaic (PV) systems, structures, electrical systems, mechanical systems, smart grids, etc. The book’s goal is to develop and combine all advanced nonintrusive CMFD approaches on a common platform. To do so, it explores the main components of various systems used for CMFD purposes. The content is divided into three main parts, the first of which provides a brief introduction, before focusing on the state of the art and major research gaps in the area of CMFD. The second part covers the step-by-step implementation of novel soft computing applications in CMFD for electrical and mechanical systems. In the third and final part, the simulation codes for each chapter are included in an extensive appendix to support newcomers to the field.

Condition-based monitoring is an accepted feature of many industries: petro-chemical, power generation, coal mining and steel-making, for instance. In manufacturing, its application has been somewhat muted. This text attempts to present the fundamental justification for condition-based maintenance together with enough analytic and practical guidance for its implementation. There are chapters on the two dominant techniques of vibration and debris analysis. Also, basic diagnostic methods are given along with a presentation of the systems approach to condition monitoring. A detailed case study shows the practical application of the techniques presented. Finally, future developments in the use of expert systems and A1 techniques are highlighted. Condition-based Maintenance and Machine Diagnostics gives details of both off-the-shelf solutions and analytic diagnostic techniques to enable a bespoke solution to be developed. It is suitable for senior undergraduates and postgraduates in the field of manufacturing and industrial engineering, and it furnishes managers in industry with sufficient information to judge the usefulness of the techniques for their particular application.

Covering energy-saving technologies and how these are incorporated into component design, this book is relevant to many industries, including automotive engineering, and discusses the topical issue of sustainability in industry. This book details recent fundamental developments in the field of tribology in industrial systems. Tribology has advanced significantly in recent years. Tribological performance depends on external parameters such as contact pressure at the interface, system temperature, relative speed between bodies and contact behaviour. Through ensuring that mechanisms work in an energy-efficient manner and minimizing wear, engineers should seek to implement the study of tribology to improve the life of machinery within industry. Essential to the study of component design and condition monitoring, the book touches upon topics such as gears, bearings and clutches. Additionally, it discusses tribology’s relation to Industry 4.0 and incorporates the results from cutting-edge research. Industrial Tribology: Sustainable Machinery and Industry 4.0 will be of interest to all engineers working in industry and involved in mechanical engineering, material engineering, mechanisms and component design and automotive engineering.
