Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit papers to this Special Issue of Sensors on “Structural Health Monitoring: Advanced Sensing, Diagnostics and Prognostics”. Over recent decades, the field of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) has been experiencing spectacular development. The applications have expanded from aerospace, mechanical, and civil engineering, now to essentially all other types of fundamental issues, including those in the nuclear, marine, and wind turbine industries. In particular, with the rapid development of advanced sensing, data-driven intelligence algorithms, and innovative in situ diagnostic and prognostic strategies, significant advances and wide fascinating technical possibilities have been reported in this area. These studies will doubtlessly promote the reliability, availability, and robustness of the systems of SHM and condition monitoring. In view of this highly active research area at present, we are pleased to invite researchers to contribute original research papers, as well as review papers related to all aspects of advanced sensing, fault diagnostics, intelligence algorithms, and prognostics-based health monitoring and management. A wide range of topics are covered, including new theories, methodologies, optimization, and applications in sensing, measurement, modeling, control, and prognostics. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Structural health monitoring (SHM);
- Non-destructive testing (NDT);
- Prognosis and health management (PHM);
- Self-diagnostics, prognostics, condition-based maintenance; and performance;
- Vibration and wave propagation methods for damage assessment;
- Reliability analysis and design;
- Feature extraction and signal processing of measured data;
- Damage identification based on artificially structured materials;
- Monitoring of composite, metallic, new, and aging structures and infrastructure;
- Measuring techniques for condition monitoring;
- RUL prediction method based on intelligent algorithms.

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.
