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...

This paper aims at providing a parameter estimation method for the machine tool reliability analysis to overcome the problem of unavailability of a well-defined failure data collection mechanism. It uses the knowledge and experience of maintenance personnel to obtain the parameters of lifetime...
