Low-Cost Sensors for Structural Health Monitoring

Dear Colleagues,

Commercial monitoring systems allow very accurate measurements for structural health monitoring applications. However, these systems are also traditionally associated with high costs, which might restrict their use in traditional buildings. Nowadays, low-cost solutions (based on sensors or computer vision techniques) stand as an efficient alternative to commercial monitoring systems. In light of the above information, the aim of this Special Issue is to increase knowledge of low-cost solutions for structural health monitoring. Applications to the structural, thermal, and environmental performance of civil engineering structures and buildings will be considered, as well as those connecting low-cost sensor information with construction methodologies (such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Lean), as well as new technologies (such as augmented, virtual reality and unmanned aerial vehicles).

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. 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.
