This book contains results of the theoretical and experimental research of min-ing machines and rolling mills aimed at the development of new methods for their condition monitoring and vibration damping. Instead of the usually used data-driven  methodology,  the  proposed  approach  is  based  on  several  known classes of dynamical models, of which some appropriate ones have been imple-mented for monitoring certain types of machines and technological processes.
The non-stationary operational regimes excite natural modes of vibrations in machines and transient signals are used for diagnosing wear of some elements, namely, angular backlashes in drivelines, radial clearances in the bearings, stiff-ness changes in structural elements and loosening of bolted joints.
