Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the evolving landscape of engineering and industrial applications, the integration of non-destructive evaluation (NDE) methods and structural health monitoring (SHM) systems has become paramount. These methodologies enhance the sustainability and efficiency of monitoring, maintenance, and repair operations for a wide array of structures and industrial processes. This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest advancements in performance monitoring, anomaly detection, and the assessment of structures and processes via innovative NDE and SHM strategies.
You are invited to propose contributions that push the boundaries of current practices in NDE and SHM, offering novel insights into their application across various engineering fields. Submissions may encompass theoretical, analytical, numerical, or experimental investigations, including comprehensive review articles.
The potential topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- NDE methods;
- SHM systems;
- Numerical modelling to support the design of NDE methods and SHM systems;
- SHM and NDE practices for maintenance management and repair operations;
- Anomaly diagnosis and prognosis;
- Measurements and processing algorithms for the identification and characterization of anomalies;
- Machine learning algorithms and novel approaches for unknown scenarios prediction and residual life estimation;
- Numerical and experimental investigations of damage detection and classification;
- Novel signal and image processing algorithms for damage diagnosis and prognosis;
- Structural behavior of damaged structure;
- Assessment of load-carrying capacity of pristine and damaged structures;
- Smart methods to enhance the durability of structures;
- Environmental and operational effects on SHM reliability;
- Novel multi-functional sensors for structural health monitoring;
- Structural health monitoring-informed maintenance management.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
