Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to collect and publish the results of innovative research in the field of mechanical fault diagnosis and signal processing. Electrical and mechanical machines such as motors, pumps, gearboxes, and compressors are widely used in industrial processes; although most of these elements have been previously assessed, new challenges arise as industry applications and machinery configurations become increasingly complex. While any machine is strictly composed of mechanical elements that can fail due to extreme operating conditions, the most common faults are related to problems in shafts, bearings, couplings, gears, and rotors.
This Special Issue will share novel signal processing methods applied to the detection and identification of mechanical faults, involving applications based on classic or advanced processing techniques like Fourier Transform, Wavelet Transform, Hilbert Transform, and MUSIC.
Thus, this Special Issue is focused on, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Intelligent fault detection;
- High-resolution signal processing;
- Noise elimination and feature extraction;
- Non-linear operating conditions;
- Electromechanical systems.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
