Applications on Ultrasonic Wave

Dear Colleagues,

The field of ultrasonic waves has created much interest over the past several decades for nondestructive methodology to evaluate mechanical properties, damage states, and material condition of engineering structures. Features related to propagation and scattering of ultrasonic waves such as wave velocities, dispersion, scattered amplitudes, and attenuation show high sensitivity to material condition. Ultrasonic waves are also widely used in medicine to obtain images of internal body structures such as muscles, tendons, blood vessels, joints, and organs. The mechanism is that ultrasound pulses are sent into the tissue using a probe, and the reflected signals are recorded and analyzed in order to build the desired images of internal structures. The present Special Issue intends to explore new directions in the field of applications on ultrasonic waves. The interest includes but is not limited to the use of ultrasonic waves for engineering research areas such as nondestructive testing/evaluation, structural health, and condition monitoring of materials and structures and medical areas such as ultrasonic imaging, sensors, and signal analysis.

We invite you to submit breakthroughs in the understanding and application of ultrasonic waves, welcoming high-quality research, technical, and review papers on both theoretical and practical 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
