In this context, as industrial systems become increasingly complex, the need for efficient data processing techniques is paramount. Deep learning has emerged as a dominant approach due to its capacity to capture intricate data patterns and relationships. However, a prevalent challenge lies in the black-box nature of many deep learning algorithms, which often operate without adhering to the underlying physical characteristics intrinsic to the studied phenomena. To address this limitation and enhance the fusion of data-driven methodologies with the fundamental physics of the system under study, this paper leverages physics-informed neural networks (PINNs). Specifically, a simple but realistic numerical case study of an extended Jeffcott rotor model, encompassing damping effects and anisotropic supports for a more comprehensive modelling, is considered. PINNs are used for the estimation of five parameters that characterize the health state of the system. These parameters encompass the radial and angular position of the static unbalance due to the disk installed on the shaft, the stiffness along the principal axes of elasticity, and the non-rotating damping coefficient. The estimation is conducted solely by exploiting the displacement signals from the centre of the disk and, to showcase the efficacy and precision provided by this novel methodology, various scenarios involving different constant rotational speeds are examined. Additionally, the impact of noisy input data is also taken into account within the analysis and the performance is compared to that of traditional optimization algorithms used for parameters estimation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24010207","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,29]],"date-time":"2023-12-29T09:15:11Z","timestamp":1703841311000},"page":"207","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Physics-Informed Neural Networks for the Condition Monitoring of Rotating Shafts"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8926-3736","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marc","family":"Parziale","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Politecnico di Milano, Via La Masa 1, 20156 Milan, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9841-5778","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luca","family":"Lomazzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Politecnico di Milano, Via La Masa 1, 20156 Milan, Italy"}]},{"given":"Marco","family":"Giglio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Politecnico di Milano, Via La Masa 1, 20156 Milan, Italy"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Cadini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Politecnico di Milano, Via La Masa 1, 20156 Milan, Italy"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Tandon, N., and Parey, A.
