Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Non-destructive testing and evaluation (NDT&E) plays a crucial role in a wide range of industrial and scientific fields, ensuring the integrity, safety, and reliability of materials, components, and structures throughout their lifecycle.
Ongoing research and technological innovation in NDT&E are therefore of strategic importance, particularly with regard to enhancing inspection accuracy, reducing testing costs, and enabling faster, more reliable, and more automated evaluation procedures. Recent advances in sensor technologies, measurement systems and data-driven methodologies are creating new possibilities for characterizing and monitoring complex materials and structures, even under challenging operating conditions.
This Special Issue aims to promote state-of-the-art developments in advanced sensors, transducers, and measurement techniques for NDT&E. Contributions addressing novel sensing principles, experimental methodologies, signal processing approaches, and integrated NDT&E systems are particularly encouraged. Applications may span multiple fields, including, but not limited, to automotive, aerospace, nuclear, petrochemical, civil infrastructure, archaeology, and cultural heritage.

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.
