Centrifugal pumps are a crucial part of many industrial plants. Early detection of faults in pumps can increase their reliability, reduce energy consumption, service and maintenance costs, and increase their life-cycle and safety, thus resulting in a significant reduction in life-time costs....

Monoblock centrifugal pumps play a very critical role in a variety of applications and condition monitoring of the various mechanical components of centrifugal pump becomes essential which in turn increases the productivity and reduces the breakdowns. Vibration-based continuous monitoring and...

Wind turbines are being increasingly deployed in remote onshore and offshore areas due to the richer wind resource there and the advantages of mitigating the land use and visual impact issues. However, site accessing difficulties and the shortage of proper transportation and installation...

Blade design is split into aerodynamic and structural design. The challenge is to design rotor blades for different applications (stall/active stall/pitch regulated wind turbines and/or constant/variable speed) which are optimised in weight and aerodynamic performance. The usage of advanced...

Condition-based maintenance (CBM) has been a research topic since 1975. It has been introduced as an alternative approach to enhance the effectiveness of preventive maintenance strategy. Currently, CBM research is growing rapidly. Compared with the traditional time-based maintenance approach,...
