Advances in Inverse Problem Applications in Structural Health Monitoring

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on the latest advancements in inverse problem formulation of structural health monitoring problems. The advancement in this field is expected to lay the foundation for ground-breaking technologies to maintain civil and mechanical structures. We are looking forward to papers that suggest new ideas on three main fronts:

1. Forward Problem:

• Robust Structural Modeling;
• Quick Structural Simulation;
• Sampling-Based Modeling;
• Experiment-Based Modeling.

2. Problem Formulation:

• Damage Formulation and Damage Indicators;
• Sensing Strategy;
• Design Variables complexity;
• Structural complexity.

3. Inverse Problem Solving:

• Robust Optimization Formulation;
• Dedicated Inverse Problem-Solving Strategies;
• Real-Time Solutions;
• Solutions for Portable Computing.

We are looking forward to applications related to the following topics:

• Damage Identification in Composite and Noncomposite Material Structures;
• Structural Health Monitoring in Masonry;
• Computer-Aided Design and Simulations;
• Optimal Structural Health Monitoring;
• Non-Destructive Testing Signal Processing;
• Artificial Intelligence in Structural Health Monitoring;
• Probabilistic Modeling;
• Solutions for Portable Computing;
• Innovation in Dynamic Analysis of Structures;
• Advances in Sensing Technologies;
• Human-centered Computing in Structural Health Monitoring;
• Design of Soft Computing Approach for future technologies.

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. Buildings 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.
