Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for discussion on structural health monitoring (SHM); nondestructive testing/evaluation strategies associated with smart structures; civil/mechanical/aerospace/materials/construction engineering; material science; and computer science. So far, these topics have been presented and discussed separately by different scientific communities. We welcome articles that unite multiple perspectives and/or views from distinct disciplines. As such, this Special Issue will cover the analysis of various types of materials (e.g., composite, metallic, concrete, amongst others) and through manual, semi-automatic, and automated techniques.
Scope:
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- SHM and NDT methods for the assessment of valuable assets;
- New signal processing and filtering methods;
- Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data mining;
- Damage modeling and fracture simulation;
- Ultrasonic signals and their applications;
- Uncertainty quantification and management;
- Acoustic emission, guided waves, and electromechanical impedance.
- Vibration-based SHM;
- Damage identification;
- Sensors and actuators.
Moreover, we welcome contributions that describe work supporting research on SHM and NDT, such as dedicated software repositories and annotated databases.

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. Buildings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
