Bearing failure is one of the foremost causes of breakdown in rotating machinery. To date, Envelope detection is always used to identify faults occurring at the Bearing Characteristic Frequencies (BCF). However, because the impact vibration generated by a bearing fault has relatively low energy, it is often overwhelmed by background noise and difficult to identify. Combined the results of extensive experiments performed in a series of bearings with artificial damage, this research investigates the effect of many influencing factors, such as demodulation methods, sampling frequency, variable machine speed and the signals collected in different directions, on the effectiveness of demodulation and the implications for bearing fault detection. By understanding these effects, a more skillful application of the envelope detection in condition monitoring and diagnosis is achieved.

The study was carried out with the aim to demonstrate the applicability of a combined chemical–electrochemical process for the dismantling of waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs) created from different types of electronic equipment. The concept implies a simple and less polluting process that allows the chemical dismantling of WPCBs with the simultaneous recovery of copper from the leaching solution and the regeneration of the leaching agent. In order to assess the performance of the dismantling process, various tests were performed on different types of WPCBs using the 0.3 M FeCl3 in 0.5 M HCl leaching system. The experimental results show that, through the leaching process, the electronic components (EC) together with other fractions can be efficiently dismounted from the surface of WPCBs, with the parallel electrowinning of copper from the copper rich leaching solution. In addition, the process was scaled up for the dismantling of 100 kg/h WPCBs and modeled and simulated using process flow modelling software ChemCAD in order to assess the impact of all steps and equipment on the technical and environmental performance of the overall process. According to the results, the dismantling of 1 kg of WPCBs requires a total energy of 0.48 kWh, and the process can be performed with an overall low environmental impact based on the obtained general environmental indexes (GEIs) values.

Rolling element bearings (REBs) are typical tribological components used widely in rotating machines. Their failure could cause catastrophic damage. Therefore, condition monitoring of bearings has always had great appeal for researchers. Usually, the detection and diagnostics of incipient bearing faults are achieved by characterising the weak periodic impacts induced by the collision of defective bearing components. However, race wear evolution, which is inevitable in bearing applications, can affect the contact between bearing elements and races, thereby decreasing the impact magnitudes and impeding detection performance. In this paper, the effect of wear evolution on the condition monitoring of rolling bearings is firstly analysed based on internal clearance changes resulting from the wear effect. Then, an experimental study is ingeniously designed to simulate wear evolution and evaluate its influence on wellknown envelope signatures according to measured vibrations from widely used tapered roller bearings. The fault type is diagnosed in terms of two indices: the magnitude variation of characteristic frequencies and the deviation of such frequencies. The experimental results indicate a signature decrease with regard to wear evolution, suggesting that accurate severity diagnosis needs to take into account both the wear conditions of the bearing and the signature magnitudes.

Abstract A key factor for a high electrical reliability of multilayer High Density Interconnection Printed Circuit Boards (HDI PCBs) is the thermomechanical stability of stacked microvia interconnections. With decreasing via sizes and higher numbers of interconnected layers, the structural integrity of these interconnections becomes a critical factor and is a topic of high interest in current research. The formation of nanovoids and inhibited Cu recrystallization across the interfaces are the two main indications of a weak link from the target pad to the filled via. Based on TEM/EDX measurements on a statistically relevant number of stacked and blind microvias produced in the industrial field, different types of nanovoid phenomena are revealed at the Cu/Cu/Cu junction. The types of nanovoids were categorized relating to the time of appearance (before or after thermal treatment), the affected interfaces or layers and the impact on the Cu recrystallization. The main root causes for each void type are identified and the expected impact on the thermomechanical stability of the via junction is discussed.

The efficient extraction of copper as a valuable metal from waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs) is currently attracting growing interest. Here, we systematically investigated the impact of bacteria on the efficiency of copper leaching from WPCBs, and evaluated the effect of graphite on bioleaching performance. The HQ0211 bacteria culture containing Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, Ferroplasma acidiphilum, and Leptospirillum ferriphilum enhanced Cu-leaching performance in either ferric sulfate and sulfuric acid leaching, so a final leaching of up to 76.2% was recorded after 5 days. With the addition of graphite, the percentage of copper leaching could be increased to 80.5%. Single-factor experiments confirmed the compatibility of graphite with the HQ0211 culture, and identified the optimal pulp density of WPCBs, the initial pH, and the graphite content to be 2% (w/v), 1.6, and 2.5 g/L, respectively.
