The aim of the work deals with the problem of develop and implement a software based tool to monitor thermal and mechanical aspects and detect load severity on journal bearings deciding the property action in Marine Diesel Engines, using advanced aspects of functional and hardware redundancy applied on fault detection, fault isolation, decision making and system recovery without applying on-line vibration monitoring of main and crankshaft bearings. To achieve such objectives, functional redundant back-propagation neutral networks are used as universal functional approximation devices in combination with rule based strategies to find specific variables and process parameter changes useful in decision-making.
AUTOMAR Thematic Network (CICYT-DPI2002-10620-E) was aiming to foster Spanish research and innovation activity in the maritime industrial sector in order to strengthen their role in Europe. During the three years of the AUTOMAR Network many activities have been carried out, and all the partners have actively contributed. This book collects in its 14 Chapters excellent, state of the art, contributions that show clearly the high level of scientific knowledge in this field reached by the Spanish RTD, both at the Universities and at the Research Institutions. It can be expected that the book content will serve to promote the knowledge and applications of the complex control and mechatronic systems at present under development in Spain, and it will also serve as a sound background for those young scientists entering in this exciting field of automation of the
maritime industries.
