Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the number of marine and offshore structures increases, safety accidents caused by structural failures also occur. In addition, as the service life increases, the structure will face long-term environmental factors, material aging, design deviations, and other issues, causing serious safety hazards. Therefore, conducting research on structural health monitoring and reliability analysis of marine and offshore structures is crucial to structural safety.
Guest editors of this proposed Special Issue believe that surrogate models, artificial intelligence, and optimization algorithms can allow us to develop efficient methods for health monitoring and reliability assessment of marine and offshore structures, and with this in focus, we are looking for original manuscripts in the following areas:
- Structural health monitoring;
- Uncertainty analysis and modeling;
- Surrogate modeling;
- Reliability and sensitivity analysis;
- Machine learning and deep learning;
- Physics-informed neural networks;
- Reliability-based design optimization;
- Data-driven reduced-order model;
- Structural system and parameter identification.
We encourage the submission of high-quality papers including but not limited to the above aspects.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering 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.
