Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that the Fault Diagnosis & Sensors section is currently compiling a collection of high-quality papers for an upcoming Special Issue entitled “Feature Papers in Fault Diagnosis & Sensors 2026”. This Special Issue aims to showcase outstanding contributions from scholars working in this research field. The Special Issue will cover, but is not limited to, the following topics: fault detection and diagnosis; fault and failure prognosis; structural health monitoring; condition monitoring; intelligent sensors and sensor networks for fault diagnosis; digital twins for fault diagnosis; modeling and simulation; pattern recognition; machine learning; artificial intelligence; and data analytics applied to fault diagnosis, failure prognosis, and non-destructive testing (NDT).
The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish a selection of papers that represent original, insightful, and influential research, including both high-quality original research articles and review papers. Our goal is to curate a collection of contributions that will be widely read and have a lasting impact on the field. We would also like to take this opportunity to invite outstanding researchers to engage with and contribute to the Fault Diagnosis & Sensors section, as we work together to achieve new milestones and advance this important research area.
