CONTEXT

This is the fourth in the series of international conferences emphasising acoustical and vibratory methods in surveillance and diagnostics organised by the French Society of Mechanics (SFM), French Society of Acoustics (SFA) and International Measurement Confederation (IMEKO)..It will be organized by SFM on behalf of AFM, the French Association for Mechanics.

A diagnostic system determines the internal state of a system and the need for operational actions. This determination is based upon information from sensors and an a priori knowledge of the processes involved. The methodology of monitoring and diagnosis is currently benefiting from dramatic developments in areas such assignal processing and information theory. These advances are put to practical use through equally important improvements in sensor technology and real time computation. The range of application encompasses all areas of science, engineering, manufacturing and medicine.

Monitoring and diagnosis are essential to the improved competitiveness of various industries, in that downtime is reduced, safe operation is increased, and quality control in production is ensured online. Moreover, better predictive maintenance reduces costs, and standards for machine operation such as noise, vibration and pollution areadhered to more stringently.

There has been a major expansion in research and applications of monitoring and diagnosis in recent years, utilising new processing techniques and sensors. However, in spite of this, implementation of diagnostic systems is still limited in industry. Reliable systems require a multidisciplinary approach linking physical modelling (or knowledge) with advanced signal processing and information theory concepts.

This conference is intended to be a forum for presentations by and exchange of information between researchers and industrial people in various fields. Fields include, but are not limited to, acoustics, vibrations and modeling, reliability analysis, safety in automation, diagnostics, controls, signal processing, and sensors.

TOPICS

1.Methods: typical fields include acoustics and vibration modelling, finite element modelling, model updating, vibration intensity...

2.Diagnostic techniques : signal processing techniques, model-based diagnosis and surveillance, pattern recognition techniques (neural networks, fuzzy logic, uncertainty,..), data fusion, expert systems.

3.Predictive maintenance: state of the art, use of reliability data, prognosis techniques, cases histories.

4.Machines: application to different types and sizes of machines (electric motors, pumps, generators, machine-tools, reciprocating machines, etc).

5.Fault detection and characterization: shaft crack detection, cavitation, leak detection, transient phenomena.

6.Practical means of surveillance: metrology, new transducers, holography, antennas, data acquisition and processing, architecture of surveillance systems, associated strategies and softwares.

7.Experience feedback : case studies, technical and economical assessments of surveillance methods.
