Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There is a need for resilience infrastructure and sustainable cities. Infrastructures cannot be resilient if poorly maintained. Therefore, it is deemed important to diagnose the condition of the infrastructure. This will help us to understand the level of functionality and improve it. In recent decades, different materials and devices have been developed to increase the performances of the structures. Several methods have been developed for structural health monitoring (SHM) and system identification in particular. Reliable data are essential in developing a life-cycle plan for current and future operations that incorporates sustainability and resiliency considerations. This Special Issue aims to collect papers on recent advancements in SHM and solutions for modifying structural integrity, as well as papers on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for SHM of structures. Further, recent developments in optimization and robust analysis of vibration mitigation methods are of interest in this Special Issue. Topics include but are not limited to the use of sensors for SHM, vision-based SHM, validation of SHM techniques, case studies of SHM of infrastructures (buildings, bridges, tunnels, pipelines, etc.), vibration mitigation of structures, vulnerability analysis of structures, model-based structural service life prediction methods, etc.

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.
