diagnosis are important for uninterrupted and high-quality performance of a mechatronic system Mechanical vibration is a popular signature that is used for this purpose The ship propulsion system is a mechatronic system In this chapter, an online monitoring and fault diagnosis system for ship propulsion systems was presented A neural network was employed to identify the features of torsional vibration of the shafting A simulated test bed was developed in-house, which implemented stepless speed regulation, adjusting the excitation force continuously and simulating four typical faults including rotor imbalance and misalignment of the shafting Experimental results were presented to validate the effectiveness of the developed approaches Faults such as rotor imbalance, shaft deflection and bearing wear usually cause transverse vibrations in the shafting but have little influence on the torsional vibration The excitation force is the primary cause of torsional vibration The experimental results indicated that the characteristics of the simulated test bed agreed with those in a real ship, and they were consistent with the calculated results from theoretical analysis This shows that the developed system is effective and feasible References Chen, J., Vibration Detection and Fault Diagnosis of Mechanical Equipment, Shanghai Jiao Tong Press, Shanghai, China, 1999
