Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced materials are the foundation of advanced structural design, and advanced structures are the technical guarantee of advanced equipment. Future advanced equipment requires advanced structural design and new material applications. Advanced materials and structures are used in practical equipment, and their health testing is not only conducive to improving equipment reliability and reducing unplanned downtime; it can also reveal the evolution law of equipment degradation, providing a theoretical basis for material improvement and design. Therefore, this Special Issue focuses on the health monitoring methods and applications of advanced structures and materials, including but not limited to the following areas: state monitoring methods for aircraft, civil engineering structures, medical equipment, wind turbines, and key transmission components of rotating machinery; condition monitoring methods for advanced materials, such as negative Poisson's ratio materials and functionally gradient materials; state monitoring methods based on different perceptual signals such as acoustic emission, guided waves, ultrasound, and radiation; the theory and application of health monitoring under the combination of structural mechanics analysis methods and damage identification.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
