Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to introduce the second edition of our Special Issue focusing on the evolving realm of structural health monitoring (SHM). With the rapidly advancing integration of technology in both civilian and defense infrastructure, the significance of SHM in devising intelligent structures has become more pronounced than ever before.

Central to the efficacy of SHM is the ability to harness accurate, actionable data. To do that, deploying advanced sensor systems and networks and applying sophisticated signal processing, data fusion, and interpretation techniques are necessary. Whether it is about delivering immediate, real-time insights or comprehensive offline analyses, our mission is to create SHM systems that minimize false positives and preemptively thwart potential calamities.

For this Special Issue, we are eagerly seeking groundbreaking research and applications that bolster the evolution of SHM. We welcome submissions delineating fresh perspectives, innovative methodologies, and impactful applications. Topics of interest encompass, but are not limited to:

  • Advanced damage classification techniques;
  • Innovations in sensor fault detection;
  • Development and applications of intelligent structures;
  • Next-generation smart sensors and their integrations;
  • Cutting-edge data preprocessing and normalization strategies;
  • Expanding and optimizing sensor network systems;
  • Novel pattern recognition algorithms tailored for SHM;
  • Breakthroughs in machine learning for SHM applications;
  • Pioneering multivariate analyses;
  • Leading-edge data-driven algorithms and models;
  • IoT advancements and its convergences in SHM;
  • Techniques for environmental and operational data compensation.

During a vertical vortex-induced vibration (VVIV), an undulating bridge deck will affect drivers’ sightlines, causing the phenomenon of drifting and changes in the far blind area, thus presenting a potential threat to driving safety. Consequently, to ensure the safety of driving on a suspension bridge deck under VVIV, it is necessary to perceive the far blind spot caused by the occlusion of the driving sightlines under this condition, and to establish an online perception and evaluation mechanism for driving safety. With a long-span suspension bridge experiencing VVIV as the engineering background, this paper utilizes the acceleration integration algorithm and the sine function fitting method to achieve the online perception of real-time dynamic configurations of the main girder. Then, based on the configurations, the maximum height of the driver’s far blind area and effective sight distance are calculated accordingly, and the impact of different driving conditions on them is discussed. The proposed technical framework for driving safety perception in far blind spots is feasible, as it can achieve real-time estimation of the maximum height and effective distance of the far blind area, thereby providing technical support for bridge–vehicle–human collaborative perception and traffic control during vortex-induced vibration.
