Abstract:
A study of aspen sucker stands subjected to repeated harvesting at the Petawawa National Forestry Institute compared biomass production at rotations of 1, 2, 3, 5, 8,13, and 20 years. The shortest rotation at which sucker production can be physiologically sustained is unlikely to be less than 10 years. Biomass mean annual increment appeared to culminate at about 15 years. Declining yields at the shorter rotations were thought due mainly to starvation of rootstocks by the frequent removal of the photosynthesizing tops on which they depend for nourishment. High incidence of Armillaria infection in stump roots probably contributed to the diminished quantity and size of suckers, and may prove to be a serious factor in short-rotation systems for aspen. On the basis of foliar analysis there was no evidence of nutrient deficiency at any rotation.

Abstract A survey of short-rotation forestry research from 1966-82 provided insights into the political, socioeconomic, institutional, and personal factors influencing decisions made by forestry researchers. Scientists first entered short rotation forestry research because of personal contacts with other scientists, because they considered this a "productive" research area, because funds were available, and because of the "energy crisis." They attributed their success primarily to cooperation with other scientists and potential users and to adequate financial support. These findings offer insight into the individual decisions and the economic and political factors that will shape other forestry research frontiers. For. Sci. 33(1):30-42.

Abstract. Estonian forest management is based traditionally on long rotations. Recent trends in wood industry and wood consumption promote also production of small-size timber for bioenergy and timber products. This opens a discussion about shorter rotations and intensive forest management again in Estonia. In current study, profitability of Scots pine, Norway spruce and silver birch stand management on fertile soils was analyzed according to three different rotation lengths: traditional long rotation, short rotation and economically optimal rotation according Finnish TAPIO rules. Stand simulation software MOTTI was used to simulate and optimize forest growth and management. Simulation results were compared with actual data on forest growth and yield in Estonia. Economically optimal rotations were for Scots pine stand 58 years, Norway spruce stand 53 years and silver birch stand 41 years. Short and optimal rotation length enable 5.9-6.5% profitability for forest owner, traditional long rotation length enables 4.8-5.4% profitability. Rotation forestry is challenging task. Based on our analysis, it is likely that applied practices can intensify wood production and reduce forest management risks. However, theoretical approach is not enough for assessing practical feasibility of short rotations. Thus further studies and experiments are needed for careful analysis and recommendations

Abstract:
Despite the negative effects of fossil fuels on the environment, these remain as the primary contributors to the energy sector. In order to mitigate global warming risks, many countries aim at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Bioenergy crops are being used as a substitute for fossil fuels and short rotation forestry is a prime example. In order to examine the sustainability of energy crops for fuel, typical European short rotation forestry (SRF) biomass, willow (Salix spp.) and poplar (Populus spp.) are examined and compared to rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) in respect to various aspects of soil respiration and combustion heat obtained from the extracted products per hectare. Various approaches are used to look at an As-contaminated site not only in the field but also in a soil-column experiment that examines the fate of trace elements in SRF soils, and in an analysis using MICMAC to describe the driving factors for SRF crop production. Based on the cause-effect chain, the impacts of land-use change and occupation on ecosystem quality are assessed when land-use is changed from degraded land (grassland) to willow and poplar SRF. A manual opaque dynamic closed chamber system (SEMACH-FG) was utilized to measure CO2 emissions at a willow/poplar short rotation forest in Krummenhennersdorf, Germany during the years 2013 and 2014, and at a rapeseed site in 2014. Short rotation forest soils showed higher CO2 emission rates during the growing season than the dormant season – with a CO2 release of 5.62±1.81 m-2 s-1 for willows and 5.08±1.37 µmol CO2 m-2 s-1 for poplars in the growing season. However, during the dormant season the soil sites with willow emitted 2.54±0.81 µmol CO2 m-2 s-1 and with poplar 2.07±0.56 µmol CO2 m-2 s-1. The highest emission rates for the studied plantations were observed in July for both years 2013 and 2014, during which the highest air and soil temperatures were recorded. Correlations between soil emission of CO2 and some meteorological parameters and leaf characteristics were investigated for the years 2013 and 2014. For example, for the willow clone (Jorr) and poplar clone (Max 3), high correlations were found for each between their soil emission of CO2 and both soil temperature and moisture content. Fitted models can explain about 77 and 75% of the results for Jorr and Max 3 clones, respectively. Moreover, a model of leaf area (LA) can explain about 68.6% of soil CO2 emission for H275. Estimated models can be used as a gap-filling method, when field data is not available. The ratio between soil respiration and the combustion heat calculated from the extracted products per hectare was evaluated and compared for the study’s willow, poplar and rapeseed crops. The results show that poplar and willow SRF has a very low ratio of 183 kg CO2 GJ 1 compared to rapeseed, 738 kg CO2 GJ 1. The soil-column experiment showed that by continuing the SRF plantation at the As-contaminated site, remediation would need only about 3% of the time needed if the site was left as a fallow field. In order to understand the complex willow and poplar short rotation forestry production system, 50 key variables were identified and prioritized to describe the system as a step to enhance the success of such potentially sustainable projects. The MICMAC approach was used in order to find the direct and the indirect relationships between those parameters and to classify them into different clusters depending on their driving force and interdependency. From this, it can be summarized that in order to enhance the success of a SRF system, decision makers should be focussing on: ensuring a developed wood-fuel market, increasing farmers’ experience/training, improving subsidy regulations and recommending a proper harvesting year cycle. Finally, the impacts of land-use change and occupation on the ecosystem quality were assessed. Results show that establishing SRF plantations on degraded lands improved the ecosystem structural quality (ESQ) by about 43% and ecosystem functional quality (EFQ) by about 12%. Based on overall results, poplar and willow SRF biomass can be recommended as renewable and sustainable sources for bioenergy.

Abstract:
Cette thèse s'est focalisée sur l'étude de la pertinence de l'utilisation des Taillis à Très Courte Rotation (TTCR) pour la production d'énergie via une gazéification, et sur la compréhension du comportement spécifique des TTCR lors de leur gazéification. Les TTCR ont une proportion d'écorce élevée conduisant à des propriétés particulières et potentiellement problématiques pour la gazéification. Les principales propriétés des TTCR, i. E. Leur composition en inorganiques et leur composition structurale, ont été mesurées sur des parties de plantes de TTCR d'eucalyptus et des fractions granulométriques de TTCR de peuplier. Le comportement des TTCR lors de la gazéification a ensuite été étudié. Dans un premier temps, la cinétique de torréfaction des TTCR a été étudiée par analyse thermogravimétrique (ATG), couplée à une analyse statistique pour analyser les corrélations avec les propriétés structurales. Les co-produits condensables de la torréfaction de TTCR de peuplier sont apparus globalement similaires quel que soit l'échantillon torréfié. Le taux élevé d'inorganiques dans les TTCR est susceptible d'influencer la gazéification du char, qui a donc été étudiée par ATG sous vapeur d'eau. Les caractéristiques cinétiques de la gazéification des TTCR ont été analysées statistiquement afin de modéliser l'impact catalytique des éléments inorganiques. L'étude des cendres au microscope électronique à balayage, couplé à un spectromètre X à dispersion d'énergie, a révélé la formation de silicates de potassium qui inhibent l'effet catalytique du potassium. Au regard de ces résultats, la gazéification des TTCR paraît réalisable pourvu qu'une préparation adaptée de la biomasse soit réalisée
In a context of increasing interest for bioenergy, this thesis focused on the opportunity of using short rotation forestry (SRF) feedstock for bioenergy production via the gasification process, and thus on the understanding of the specific gasification behavior of SRF. SRF feedstocks contain a large proportion of bark that impacts feedstock properties. The main characteristics of SRF, i. E. Inorganic composition and structural composition, were characterized on eucalyptus SRF plant parts and particle size fractions from poplar SRF. Larger particles were mainly composed of wood while particles below 0. 2 mm were fairly similar to bark. Then the behavior of SRF in gasification process was investigated. The focus was first put on torrefaction kinetics that was studied using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), coupled with a statistical analysis to investigate the correlations with structural properties. Then the influence of the high inorganic content in SRF on the steam gasification of char was studied by TGA. The gasification kinetics data were processed with statistical tools to model the catalytic impact of inorganic elements. The characterization of gasification ash by scanning electron microscopy, coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, showed that potassium silicates were formed that inhibited gasification kinetics. Based on these results, SRF feedstocks appeared to be suitable for gasification process, together with an adapted pretreatment of SRF feedstock

Abstract:
Short Rotation Forestry (SRF) has been introduced to the UK as a method to increase biomass production. However, some SRF species have raised concerns about potential impacts on the environment. A largely unknown aspect of SRF is the quality and quantity of leaf litter, and its impact on soil fauna, of which the earthworm community is a major component. Earthworms have direct impacts on the soil biogeochemistry of SRF systems, and the tree species can impact on the associated earthworm community. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of SRF species and litter quality on earthworm communities, their diversity and activity. In addition, the effects of earthworms on SRF litter decomposition, carbon-nutrient cycling and tree growth were assessed. Field surveys, laboratory experiments and field experiments were utilised. Survey results suggested that SRF species, tree age, land-used history and soil type exhibited an interactive effect on overall earthworm community development. Further, growth of eucalyptus, as SRF on marginal-arable or reclaimed sites, led to relatively rapid earthworm colonisation and community development. SRF litter quality showed a direct effect on earthworm food selection, growth and reproduction. The native Alnus glutinosa, Betula pendula and Fraxinus excelsior litter supported earthworms and their activities over non-native Acer pseudoplatanus, Castaneas sativa and Eucalyptus nitens. Native British earthworms indicated a significant preference (p < 0.05) for E. nitens litter over A. pseudoplatanus and C. sativa. Earthworms showed a significant contribution (p < 0.05) to SRF litter decomposition, carbon and nutrient release within SRF systems and the degree of contribution varied with SRF species, earthworm density and diversity. Field studies demonstrated that a mixed earthworm community utilised non-native species but favoured particular native trees. Earthworm influence on nutrient uptake, tree growth and biomass production varied with SRF species. A one year field experiment showed that rapidly growing E. nitens benefited more from earthworm activity than relatively slow growing B. pendula. Overall, the current work supports the production of SRF, as with only one exception (C. sativa), results tended to show that SRF-earthworm interactions were positive. It is perhaps most interesting that non-native E. nitens showed a positive interaction with native British earthworms.

Abstract:
Fast growing hybrids of Salix and Populus can be grown in a short rotation coppice (SRC) system to produce renewable energy. This PhD investigates the interactions between the environment and productivity, with a view to finding the key limiting factors to yield and the potential of these crops to fulfil UK renewable energy obligations, now and in the future. An empirical modelling technique, using partial least squares regression was developed to extrapolate actual field observations to a national scale. Genotype x age x environment interactions were studied to examine the key limiting factors to productivity. Modelled yields differed between genotypes, with mean annual aboveground biomass ranging from 4.9 to 10.7 oven dry tonnes (odt) per hectare for Populus trichocarpa x P. deltoides genotype ‘Beaupré’ and Salix triandra x S. viminalis genotype ‘Q83’, respectively. Variation in yield was primarily described by spring and summer precipitation, suggesting water availability is the key limiting factor to yield. Output from the model was up-scaled across the UK using a geographic information system (GIS), and scenarios were developed to better understand the role and impact of land use management and policy development on potential crop distribution. For example, to meet UK biomass and biofuel targets without compromising food security or ecosystem services, would require 5 % of grade 3 land, 56 % grade 4 land and 47 % of grade 5 land. This quantity of biomass would produce 7.5 M tonnes of biomass per annum and would theoretically generate 15.5 TWh yr-1 of electrical energy, displacing 3.3 M tonnes of oil – approximately 4% of current UK electricity demand. The South West and North West alone producing over a third of this figure (5.2 TWh yr-1). These results suggest that SRC has the potential to become a significant component of a mixed portfolio of renewables. Furthermore, climate change is predicted to have far reaching consequences on crop growth. Process-based models can help quantify these interactions and predict future productivity. Here we use ForestGrowth-SRC, a process-based model originally designed for high-forest species and parameterised for a coppice system. Climate change scenarios (UK Climate Projections) were run with the model to assess the impact of a changing climate on the growth and spatial distribution of SRC poplar. Results suggest ForestGrowth-SRC is capable of accurately simulating growth over a large spatial and temporal scale. However, pests and disease were found to significantly affect yield. In the absence of pests and disease, productivity could increase by 20 % nationwide by 2080 (under a medium emissions scenario), suggesting we will see a future increase in the value and production of these crops as feedstocks for heat, power and liquid transportation fuels

Abstract:
The study focused on four research objectives: 1. To identify the species and provenances of eucalypts most suitable for biomass production in Great Britain. 2. To compare growth of eucalypts with other promising short rotation forestry genera. 3. To develop volume and biomass functions for E. gunnii. 4. To estimate yields and patterns of growth for E. gunnii. Searches on CAB abstracts and World of Science showed that there was limited research conducted on eucalypts in the UK. This research provides an original contribution to knowledge through; a long term assessment of the performance of species of cold tolerant eucalypts across a range of sites, identification of the basis for the rapid growth of eucalypts in comparison with trees from other genera, identification of the best fit function to describe stem form in E.gunnii and a characterisation of the pattern of growth in this species. The thesis provides an account of the long history of eucalypts in the UK, the first record of a eucalypt being planted in Britain probably being Eucalyptus obliqua in the late 1700s (Aiton 1789). A review is then provided of the experience and constraints to growing nine eucalypt species in the UK and their potential for short rotation forestry are described. The rapid growth of eucalypts makes them well suited to short rotation forestry, but there are considerable risks from frosts and extreme winters. Results from a trial established in Cumbria, north west England are described. Survival and growth was compared between E.gunnii, E. nitens and native or naturalised species, identified by Hardcastle (2006) as having potential for short rotation forestry. The rapid rate of growth of E. gunnii was attributed to a combination of large leaf area, a long period of growth during the year and a high specific leaf area. There was 99% mortality of E. nitens at the trial over winter, preventing comparison with other species. At the same trial and assessment was made of frost damage during the winter of 2009-2010, which proved to be the coldest for thirty years (Met Office 2010). E. gunnii was found to be more cold-tolerant than E. nitens, with 35% of the former surviving the winter and less than 1% of the latter. Larger trees were damaged more so than smaller trees reinforcing the argument for good silviculture to promote rapid, early growth. The study on stem form and growth of E. gunnii represents the first in the UK. Volume, height and dbh of a total of 636 trees, measured by felling, optical dendrometer and terrestrial laser scanner were used to test the goodness of fit of a volume function developed in France by AFOCEL and is South America by Shell Oil. The AFOCEL function was found to predict volume with less bias and be suitable for all but the smallest trees. Characterisation of growth curves using mined historic data indicated yields of 16 m3 ha-1 y-1 or approximately 8 t ha-1 y-1 at 20 years old. In contrast, growth curves derived from stem analysis of nine trees from Chiddingfold (south east England) and Glenbranter (central western Scotland) indicated lower yields at 7 m3 ha-1 y-1 at age 28 years and 4.5 m3 ha-1 y-1 at age 30 years respectively. Evidence from plantings elsewhere in the UK show that higher rates of growth are possible, but also that yields are often compromised by high mortality.

Abstract:
Worldwide there is an increasing demand of natural resources. In future, non renewable resources get substituted by renewable resources in the energetic sector as well as in the material sector. That implies a stronger usage of renewable resources especially - wood. In 2009 there was a usage of 77 million cubic meters of wood for material applications and a quantity of 55 million cubic meters for energetic applications in Germany alone. Furthermore, there is an increasing demand on wood for energetic purposes. In 2007 this problematic development led to the first supply bottlenecks. To meet the increasing demands of the future, Short Rotation Coppices (SRC) can help to improve the wood provision. An SRC is a planting of fast growing coppice on agricultural areas, which is managed more intensively than usual forestry practices for a quicker production of wooden biomass. With a comparative LCA of conventional wood and wood from SRC the present study evaluates if wood from SRC is reasonable to cover the increasing demand of wood for material and energetic purposes in an environmental friendly way. A comprehensive literature research regarding LCAs of wood and wooden products shows that there are no previous studies comparing the two types of wood. Hence, the present study examines a particleboard production as the material scenario and the combustion of woodchips in a firing system as the energetic scenario to compare the ecological advantages and disadvantages of wood from SRC and conventional wood. The LCA is implemented with the Gabi software designed by PE International. Data is obtained from previous LCA studies evaluating the production of wood, the particleboard production and the combustion of wood. Additionally, data from the Ecoinvent database is used. Functional units are the production of 1m3 particleboard and the production of 1 MJ of thermal energy. The LCIA is implemented with the “Ecoindicator” as endpoint- and “CML 2001” as midpoint approach to cover broad range of environmental issues. Moreover a sensitivity analyses shows the impact of decisive variables on the results of “Ecoindicator” and “CML 2001”. Results reveal that outcomes of the LCIA are dependent of the assessment method and the processed part of trees from conventional forestry. The present study shows, that with an efficient land use, wood from SRC can help to cover the increasing demand of wood for material and energetic purposes in a sustainable way. However, an immediate usage of wood for energetic purposes has to be seen critical. Instead, a cascaded and sustainable utilization of wood is recommendable to counteract climate change and to improve the efficient use of the renew-able resource - “wood”.

Abstract:
Abstract In temperate regions, short-rotation crops may be considered as those grown on rotations of less than about 30 years. Many traditional, broadleaved coppice crops fulfil this definition but it also includes some short-rotation plantations grown for specialized products, notably Populus spp. and Eucalyptus spp. and some conifers grown directly for pulp with no intermediate thinnings. With the present European trend towards diversified land uses, and in particular the ‘set-aside’ policy, increasing areas of former agricultural land will become available for non-food crops. Rather than having this land left fallow, one interesting possibility for farmers is short-rotation forestry. In addition, since the 1970s’ energy crisis and with increasing environmental concern about energy production—whether from carbon dioxide-producing fossil fuels or from nuclear plants—several alternative energy sources are being considered, including short-rotation forest biomass (Christersson 1994).

Abstract:
The analysis of research on biofuels is presented. In connection with the forecast of the depletion of fossil sources for energy production and their adverse effects on the environment, research and practical work on the use of renewable resources for these purposes is being carried out in different countries. Plant biomass, wind, sun, hydro resources, geothermal waters, etc. are considered. According to some data, wood biomass in the European Union from all renewable sources in 2012 was 50%. Among the suppliers of wood biomass in the world, short- cropped plantations of fast-growing tree species (poplars, willows, etc.) are gaining popularity. The European Union has adopted a plan to create 70,000 hectares of such plantations. In the Central Chernozem region of Russia, research on the creation and evaluation of the effectiveness of short- rotation plantations began in the mid-90s of the twentieth century. Studies have shown that on a plantation of Robusta poplar at the age of 4 years, with a 2-year rotation and a planting density of 20 thousand plants per 1 ha, the annual increase in absolutely dry biomass can be 11.5 t/ ha/year. After a long break due to the difficulties of the 1990s, these works were resumed only in 2015-2016. In accordance with the developed program, work has begun on the creation and research of experimental facilities both on the territory of Research Institute of Forest Genetics, Breeding and Biotechnology and on the lands of industrial forest enterprises. The best results on the growth of poplars in the reproductive areas were obtained in the Kulikovsky forestry of the Lipetsk region, where the annual shoots of poplars ‘Voronezh Giant’ and P. trichocarpa at the root-cutting plantation reached an average height of 157-183 cm.

Abstract:
Biomass CHP plants represent a viable option to produce distributed energy in a sustainable way when the overall environmental benefit is appraised on the whole life cycle. CHP plants for bioenergy conversion may consist of a gasification (IGC – Integrated Gasification Cycle) or pyrolysis (IPRP – Integrated Pyrolysis Regenerated Plant) pre-treatment unit, producing a syngas that feeds an internal combustion engine or a gas turbine. The external combustion mode is also an option, where exhaust gases from biomass combustion provide heat to either a traditional steam cycle, an ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) or an EFGT (Externally Fired Gas Turbine). This paper focuses specifically on turbines based technologies and provides a LCA comparison of 4 main technologies suitable for the small scale, namely: EFMGT, ORC, IGC and IPRP. The comparison is carried out considering 3 different biomasses, namely a Short Rotation Forestry, an agricultural residue and an agro industrial residue at 2 different scales: micro scale (100 kw) and small scale (1 MW), being higher scales barely sustainable on the life cycle. From data derived from the Literature or experimental campaign (tests at the IPRP and gasification facilities at the University Perugia), LCA analysis were carried out and the different scenarios were compared based on two impact categories: global warming and human health. Input and output of the derived LCI are referred to the functional unit of 1 kWh electric for upstream, core and downstream processes. Results show the contribution of main processes and are discussed comparing scale, technology and feedstock.

Abstract:
The oil crisis of the last decades of the twentieth century has led researchers to turn their attention to alternative sources of energy, the so-called green energy. One of the genres intensively studied for bi-omass production was the genus Salix. In Europe, in Sweden, were made the first Salix hybrids for short-rotation crops (SRC). Willows are used for wood plantation, cellulose and paper production, in pharma-ceutical industry, for soil phytoremediation, like pioneer species by their role in ecosystem restoration, increasing biodiversity and for biomass production (Berg, 2002). In Romania, willow SRC for biomass production started after 2005. There are about 1500 ha of willow SRC, 400 ha of them are in Banat area. All of these cultures were established with Swedish clones, especially clone Inger. Swedish clones and hybrids registered good results in Sweden and North-West Europe countries with cool, wet climate, but in Romania they have not achieved spectacular results in some areas, such as North-Est Timis county and Oltenia area, the crops being compromised in the first years. In the view of the extension of cultivated areas unsuitable for agriculture, with forestry and energy crops, there are necessary comprehensive studies to find optimal solutions - selection of genotypes to their potential production, but also to be adapted at temperatures over 35ºC and severe drought. A willow breeding program for the biomass production has to be started and a potential genitors collection (local germplasm) sets the stage for the beginning of a science-based breeding program. The collection of potential genitors (39 genotypes, 12 species) was established in the spring of 2015 on the territory of the Experimental Didactical Station belonging to Banat’s University of Agricul-tural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine from Timisoara. The biological material (46 cuttings for each genotype) was planted in double rows 75 cm apart with double rows spaced at 150 cm and an 80 cm in-row spacing. During the growing season was made chemical and mechanical weed control. There were not applied phytosanitary treatments, in order to test the natural resistance of the genotypes. The sprouting capacity and biometric observations were made in an experimental trial with uncut and cutback shoots and biomass was estimated. Following the biometric observations performed biannually and the evaluation of tolerance / re-sistance to diseases and pests, a wide variability was noticed, both interspecific and intraspecific. The quantitative traits varied significantly with genotype and management practice. Large variability was ob-served in terms of survival rate but also in sprouting capacity, maximum height, and diameter. The field trial recommends some genotypes with particularly high production, clone 30 Salix pentandra L. and clone 31 S. triandra L. for crops with short rotation cycle, both in normal soil and climatic conditions and on degraded lands. The most tolerant genotypes both to pests and diseases were belonging to S. rosmarinifolia and S. pentandra. The most sensitive species include genitors from S. fragilis, S.alba and S.purpurea. Tolerance to pests and diseases was dependent on species and origin.

Abstract:
Forests play a significant role in the mitigation of climate change through carbon storage and sequestration. However, a forest’s capacity to absorb carbon is influenced by a number of factors, such as soil characteristics, the selection of tree species, and the application of silvicultural practices. A study in Latvia was conducted to evaluate the carbon stock and sequestration potential of birch, common aspen, black alder and grey alder growing on periodically waterlogged and drained organic soils. Empirical data of forest resources were obtained from the National Forest Inventory (NFI) from 2016 to 2020. The findings indicate that black alder may thrive in both soil types, as it showed the best increase in carbon stock in periodically waterlogged soils, reaching a maximum of 129 t C ha-1 at the age of 61–70 years. Greater carbon sequestration in tree biomass occurs on drained soils compared to periodically waterlogged. Birch, aspen, and black alder stands may store between 106 and 119 t C ha-1 at age of 61 and 70 years, which is similar to grey alder stands at ages of 31–40 (114 ± 0.73 t C ha-1). Therefore, a short rotation for grey alder growing on drained organic soils could maximize carbon accumulation and add substitution value. These results suggest that different types of deciduous trees have varying capacities for carbon storage and sequestration, and that it’s important to consider site-specific factors, rotation age and silvicultural practices when aiming to maximize carbon sequestration in tree biomass.

Abstract:
To reasonably process the complex signals and improve the diagnosis accuracy of inter-shaft bearing incipient faults, this paper develops wavelet energy spectrum exergy (WESE) and random forest (RF) (short for WESE-RF) method with respect to acoustic emission (AE) signals. Inter-shaft bearing faults, which contain inner race fault, outer race fault, rolling element faults and normal status under different measuring points and different rotational speeds, are simulated based on the test rig of inter-shaft bearings, to collect the AE signals of these faults. Regarding the AE signals of inter-shaft bearing faults, the WESE values, one signal feature, are extracted from an information exergy perspective, and are applied to structure feature vectors. The WESE values of these AE signals are regarded as the sample set which include the training samples subset used to establish the WESE-RF model of fault diagnosis and the test samples subset applied to test the effectiveness of the developed WESE-RF model. The investigation on the fault diagnosis of inter-shaft bearing demonstrates the fault diagnosis method with the WESE-RF has good generalization ability and high diagnostic accuracy of over 0.9 for inter-shaft bearing fault. The efforts of this paper provide a useful approach-based information exergy and wavelet energy spectrum for inter-shaft bearing fault diagnosis.
