Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Structural health monitoring (SHM) is essential to guarantee the safe and reliable operation of technical appliances and engineering structures including chemical and power plants, gas and oil pipelines, transport systems, and aeronautic structures. Many sensing techniques have been investigated in the scientific literature to implement SHM systems. In particular, ultrasonic guided waves (GWs) are a promising approach to monitor the integrity of largely extended structures. In this context, this Special Issue plans to collect research outputs regarding the European Project “GW4SHM”, whose aim is to combine efficient simulation and signal processing tools for GW-based SHM, to assess the reliability of the monitoring systems, and to train a new generation of researchers, enabling them to convert SHM research into practical applications.

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. Sensors 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 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.
