--Title Machinery Informatics: A New Direction for the Engineering Science
--Abstract
A promising and efficient way to improve the performance of the machinery is to continuously integrate new technologies into the total life cycle. With the in-depth development of the integration of industrialization and informatization, how to deeply integrate modern information technology with machinery is the key to improving the level of intelligentization of mechanical products.
The subject of machinery information proposed in the paper is used to investigate all the dynamic information of the machinery throughout the life cycle, which integrates the disciplines of information technology, mechanics, manufacturing and other related disciplines so as to provide much more detail and abundant information about the performance and it related parameters. The concept and content of the machinery information is also introduced, some examples are given to illustrate how to solve the practical problems based on this theory.

--Title Gear Wear: Measurement, Diagnosis and Prognosis
--Abstract
Geared transmission systems inevitably experience wear in their service lives. In its broadest definition, wear includes any material removal process, of which the most relevant for gears are abrasive wear, based on the contact and breakage of asperities in sliding contact, and fatigue pitting, based on repetitive loading.While techniques for basic vibration-based gear wear detection have existed for decades, there has been limited research on the quantification of gear wear and its detailed diagnosis. And as with most areas of condition monitoring, prognosis of wear remains a major challenge, but one with enormous potential economic benefits.
In recent years, however, there have been several key advances in the measurement, diagnosis and prognosis of wear. This talk will discuss some of these advances, with a focus on recent activities undertaken by the Tribology and Machine Condition Monitoring group at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. The advances include developments in measurement approaches, advanced signal processing techniques using cyclostationary signal analysis, and the deployment of digital twins for wear prediction. The talk will also canvass possible future directions in gear wear and gear diagnostics more broadly.

--Title Choosing the Good Signal Model for Vibration-based Condition Monitoring
--Abstract
Vibration-based condition monitoring heavily relies on signal processing, for designing methods of detection, identification, and characterization of faults, or for pre-processing signals before they are fed to machine learning classifiers. A plethora of ad hoc methods have been proposed to achieve these tasks, sustained by an impressive diversity of heuristics and algorithmic variants, and leading to everlasting round-robin benchmarks. Although the quest for universal methods is hopeless, the point made by this presentation is that “optimal” indicators and signal processing methods can be designed, provided that they are guaranteed to capture the whole amount of diagnostic information contained in a “good signal mode”. This presentation will first give an overview of the signal models most commonly used in vibration-based condition monitoring, with an emphasis on those that can capture the intermittent and repetitive nature of machine faults. It will next discuss their extensions for coping with adverse configurations, such as impulsive noise or non-constant regime. In particular, we will introduce Conditionally Angle-Time Cyclostationary processes (CAT), which stand as a the most advanced version of a series of attempts to describe the properties of vibration signals produced by rotating machines in the most general setting. The presentation will eventually discuss how “optima” indicators can be designed within this framework and it will illustrate their use for signal processing tasks such as detection and deconvolution.

--Title Enhancement of Vibration Monitoring Under Noisy Non-stationary Conditions
--Abstract
Vibration monitoring of rotating machinery under noisy non-stationary operating conditions remains difficult because of factors such as amplitude and frequency modulation and impulsive noise that impede the application of conventional condition indicators.
To improve the performance of these monitoring techniques, various techniques that rely on traditional signal processing can be used. These range from the enhancement of weak damage components in the vibration signals, identifying informative frequency bands and to the use of new synchronous statistics for gearbox fault diagnostics.
Learning-based methods provide a complementary perspective on the signal processing problem, by potentially addressing some of the shortcomings of traditional condition monitoring methods.
This paper highlights some of these concepts to enhance vibration monitoring under non-stationary conditions from signal processing and learning-based perspectives.

--Title Frequency and Mode Assignment via Structural Modifications -- Basic Theory and Examples
--Abstract
Vibration induced by an excitation in a few single frequencies or in a narrow frequency band can be mitigated effectively by shifting the natural frequencies in question away from those of the excitation. A node may be created on a structure where vibration at a frequency is suppressed. These can be done via inverse structural modifications whereby the mass and stiffness required to shift the natural frequencies and/or assign modes (including nodes) are determined. This methodology is powerful and useful in practical applications. This talk describes the motivations of structural modifications, introduces the basic theory behind and present real examples of structural modifications.
