ACOUSTIC AND VIBRATORY SURVEILLANCE METHODS AND DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUES: INTRODUCTION
Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing (1997) 11(1), 51
ACOUSTIC AND VIBRATORY SURVEILLANCE METHODS AND DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUES: INTRODUCTION The last decade has been characterised by an explosive interest in these topics. We have witnessed the increasing importance of diagnostic in industry: unmanned operation, maintenance for machines users or services for machine manufacturers, safety and especially general quality control. Thus, the purpose of integrating various disciplines (mechanical systems, acoustic and vibration modeling, advanced signal processing and data analysis, etc.) is to conceive, develop and implement reliable methods. A highly relevant meeting, The 2nd International Conference on Acoustical and Vibratory Surveillance Methods and Diagnostic Techniques was held at CETIM (French Technical Center for Mechanical Industry) from 10 to 12 October 1995. The meeting was an unique opportunity to meet various specialists, researchers and industrials from these various disciplines. Some of the topics presented have now been rewritten for presentation in this special issue. A wide range of disciplines can be seen to be of relevance in these applications: advanced signal processing methods (Brie et al., Danthez and Aquilina); the need for statistical approaches (Cempel, Pierrat); the importance of modeling the vibration signal generation (Kuperman); representative application (Dalpiaz/Rivola); and even the need to revisit classical signal processing methods (Leonard). We certainly look forward to the next 1998 meeting. J. F General Deleguate SFM (Societe Francaise de Mecaniciens)
