Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With recent advancements in sensor technology, structural health monitoring (SHM) and nondestructive evaluation (NDE) systems have been developed and implemented in various civil structures, such as bridges, buildings, tunnels, power plants, and dams. Many advanced types of sensors, from wired to wireless, have been developed to continuously monitor structural conditions through real-time data collection.
With the remarkable progress that has been made following SHM and NDE developments, considerable work remains to be carried out, such as refining theoretical analysis and calibration against well-planned experiments, developing novel sensors for industrial and commercial applications, addressing operational and environmental variations to deploy SHM and NDE techniques for in-service structures, developing signal analysis methods to achieve a probability of detection, and developing novel imaging algorithms to quantify the damage detected. Papers on topics include, but are not limited to, one or several of the following aspects, which will be considered for publication:
- guided wave actuation and detection;
- novel signal processing methods;
- imaging algorithms for damage quantification;
- damage detection in composite structures;
- fiber optic sensors;
- the use of an accelerometer for structural health monitoring;
- vibrating wire sensors;
- strain gauges in structural health monitoring;
- acoustic emission sensors;
- linear variable differential transformers (LVDTs);
- temperature sensors.

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.
