Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue highlights advanced computational and experimental methods for structural health monitoring (SHM) of built environments and geomaterials during and after seismic events. SHM plays a critical role in safeguarding structural integrity and ensuring user safety by integrating sensors, communication technologies, and diagnostic algorithms.
The Special Issue will also highlight studies on forward and inverse analyses of seismic wave propagation and structural dynamics. These approaches use sensor-derived seismic data to estimate the dynamic behavior of structures and geomaterials, as well as the characteristics of incident seismic waves impacting infrastructure. Such analyses are essential for effective structural health monitoring during seismic events.
This Special Issue invites high-quality, original research contributions in overlapping areas of SHM, seismic wave propagation, structural dynamics, and inverse modeling, including, but not limited to, the following computational and experimental approaches:
- Structural health monitoring (SHM);
- Sensor development, data acquisition, and diagnostic algorithms for SHM;
- Artificial intelligence for SHM;
- Seismic input motion estimation;
- Seismic response reconstruction;
- Passive seismic material inversion;
- Seismic analyses of (infra)structures, such as a bridge, dam, levee, retaining wall, building, subway, railroad;
- Soil dynamics and/or ground motion simulations;
- Structural dynamics;
- Soil–structure interaction;
- Domain reduction method;
- Simulations of liquefaction and/or waves in poroelastic media;
- Fluid–solid interaction and/or earthquake-induced sloshing;
- Time-domain or frequency-domain analysis;
- Site characterization and/or inverse problem;
- Finite element method;
- Spectral element method;
- Wave-absorbing boundary condition.

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.
