Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Structural health monitoring is used to evaluate the “state” of a structure at every moment during its life. It involves the integration of structure design, sensors, smart materials, data transmission and analysis. Structural health monitoring is the new way of non-destructive evaluation, however these techniques have not been widely used in practical engineering due to wiring problems associated with large-scale structural health monitoring.
The aim of this Special Issue is for researchers to gain an in-depth understanding of structural health monitoring techniques and analyze the different applications through various cross-industry case studies, including oil and gas, rail, nuclear, aerospace, thermal and renewable energy, highlighting the latest developments on testing methods and sensor development and promoting more accurate results for defect 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. Inventions 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 1800 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.
