With the aim of facilitating signal processing in manufacturing, this book presents a systematic description of the fundamentals on wavelet transform and the ways of applying it to the condition monitoring and health diagnosis of rotating machine components.

Wavelets: Theory and Applications for Manufacturing presents a systematic description of the fundamentals of wavelet transform and its applications. Given the widespread utilization of rotating machines in modern manufacturing and the increasing need for condition-based, as opposed to fix-interval, intelligent maintenance to minimize machine down time and ensure reliable production, it is of critical importance to advance the science base of signal processing in manufacturing. This volume also deals with condition monitoring and health diagnosis of rotating machine components and systems, such as bearings, spindles, and gearboxes, while also: -Providing a comprehensive survey on wavelets specifically related to problems encountered in manufacturing-Discussing the integration of wavelet transforms with other soft computing techniques such as fuzzy logic, for machine defect and severity classification-Showing how to custom design wavelets for improved performance in signal analysisFocusing on wavelet transform as a tool specifically applied and designed for applications in manufacturing, Wavelets: Theory and Applications for Manufacturing presents material appropriate for both academic researchers and practicing engineers working in the field of manufacturing.

Manufacturing systems and processes are becoming more complex, so more rational decision-making in process control is a necessity. Better information gathering and analysis techniques are needed and condition  monitoring is seen as a framework that will enable these improvements.Condition Monitoring and Control for Intelligent Manufacturing brings together the world’s authorities on condition monitoring to provide a broad treatment of the subject accessible to researchers and practitioners in manufacturing industry.The book presents a review of the key areas of research in machine condition monitoring and control, before focusing on an in-depth treatment of each important technique, from multi-domain signal processing for defect diagnosis to web-based information delivery for real-time control. Researchers in manufacturing and control engineering, as well as practising engineers in industries from automotive to packaging manufacturing will find this book valuable.
