Condition monitoring assesses the operational health of rotating machinery, in order to provide early and accurate warning of potential failures such that preventative maintenance actions may be taken. To achieve this target, manufacturers start taking on the responsibilities of engine condition monitoring, by embedding health-monitoring systems within each engine unit and prompting maintenance actions when necessary. Several types of condition ...

In order to assess the performance of advanced acoustic absorbing materials the acoustic impedance should be determined with high accuracy, especially, in presence of a grazing flow. This paper presents an analytical methodologyfor the grazing flow acoustic impedance eduction, based on a two-port representation of an acoustic system. This procedure is dedicated to the frequency range below the cut-on frequency of the transversal duct modes and ...

Risk communication has recently evolved from the design of unidirectional (from scientists to the public) information flow toward a more integrative deliberative procedures (involving scientists, policymakers, stakeholders and the general public) aimed at reconciling diverging social constructs of risk. Furthermore, risk communication is seen now as an activity that is transverse to the risk governance process as a whole. Risk communication is ...
