Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to introduce the second edition of our Special Issue focusing on the evolving realm of structural health monitoring (SHM). With the rapidly advancing integration of technology in both civilian and defense infrastructure, the significance of SHM in devising intelligent structures has become more pronounced than ever before.
Central to the efficacy of SHM is the ability to harness accurate, actionable data. To do that, deploying advanced sensor systems and networks and applying sophisticated signal processing, data fusion, and interpretation techniques are necessary. Whether it is about delivering immediate, real-time insights or comprehensive offline analyses, our mission is to create SHM systems that minimize false positives and preemptively thwart potential calamities.
For this Special Issue, we are eagerly seeking groundbreaking research and applications that bolster the evolution of SHM. We welcome submissions delineating fresh perspectives, innovative methodologies, and impactful applications. Topics of interest encompass, but are not limited to:
- Advanced damage classification techniques;
- Innovations in sensor fault detection;
- Development and applications of intelligent structures;
- Next-generation smart sensors and their integrations;
- Cutting-edge data preprocessing and normalization strategies;
- Expanding and optimizing sensor network systems;
- Novel pattern recognition algorithms tailored for SHM;
- Breakthroughs in machine learning for SHM applications;
- Pioneering multivariate analyses;
- Leading-edge data-driven algorithms and models;
- IoT advancements and its convergences in SHM;
- Techniques for environmental and operational data compensation.

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. Sensors 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.
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.
