Dr. Dong Wang focuses on theoretical foundations of fault feature extraction and their applications to machine and product condition monitoring, fault diagnosis and prognostics. Main contributions are summarized as follows: 1) theories and methods of generalized sparsity measures, the design of new sparsity measures, the "bilateral effect" of distinguishing sparsity measures and complexity measures, were proposed for machine and product condition monitoring; 2) physically interpretable prototype neural network was designed, and then degradation models with interpretable model structures and weights were proposed to realize an important goal of using model weights as fault features so as to support monitoring and diagnostic outputs, which provides a new perspective for intelligent fault diagnostics; 3) generalized Brownian motion and state space modeling were proposed to overcome some underlying assumptions in classical prognostic works; 4) an integrated framework of signal processing and statistical learning is developed, and intelligent identification, extraction and separation of natural frequency components of original signals, fault induced frequency components and noise components are realized based on Fourier transform, time-frequency transform, spectral correlation transform and other signal processing, which provides a new idea for signal processing and statistical quantification of results.
Dr. Dong Wang has published 150+ journal papers (the first author for 40+ papers) and his works mainly appear in Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing (60+), IEEE和ASME Transactions (60+, IEEE Transactions on Reliability、IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement、IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems、IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics、IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics、IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics、IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering、ASME Transactions on Journal of Vibration and Acoustics)、Journal of Sound and Vibration、Journal of Power Sources、Reliability Engineering and System Safety、Measurement Science and Technology, Signal Processing, etc., and they have been cited over 10000+.
