Friction and wear play a major role in modern society. The operation of many mechanical systems, including vehicles, machines and consumer goods directly depends on appropriate friction and wear properties. Energy and raw material use can also often be directly linked to the losses that occur due to ...

Today, operators are often dealing with machine sensors and event logs in a rather passive way: reading failure notifications, performing post-mortem analyses, etc. A more active way could enable them to better understand the behaviour of the machines, recommend adjustments or predict failures ...

While recent technological advancements have created a high demand for parts and components of increased precision with tighter tolerances and functionalities, the complex nature of machine tool performance makes it difficult to see what causes deviations or errors in final part quality. To produce ...
