Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the field of major equipment, such as aerospace, mechanical manufacturing, shipbuilding, and aero engines, machines operate within a wide range of conditions and state changes. Their safe and efficient operation relies on accurate sensor information. However, since machines work under harsh conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, heavy loads, and strong vibrations, sensors are frequent points of failure. Due to limitations in installation location and weight, it is not feasible to increase hardware redundancy to improve fault tolerance. If the major equipment fails, it will cause huge losses to the national economy and enterprise production, which is a major challenge for system designers to face.

In recent years, the continuous development of digital twin and simulation technology has brought new opportunities to the manufacturing industry. In order to increase the service life and reliability of the equipment, we can consider the use of digital twin technology to achieve fault tolerance control, fault diagnosis and fault prediction of the machine. The following techniques may be required:

  1. through physical mechanism, experimental data, neural network and other methods to establish a high-precision digital twin model of the machine;
  2. Reliable fault-tolerant control scheme. For example, the digital twin model data is fused with the real operation data of the equipment to improve the redundancy, and the fault tolerance control algorithm is used to enhance the reliability of the system;
  3. Advanced fault diagnosis algorithm;
  4. Accurate fault prediction method.

This Special Issue invites researchers to contribute original research, case studies, and reviews that address topics related to digital twins for fault tolerant control, fault diagnosis, and failure prognosis.

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
