Dear Colleagues,

The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight the most recent research regarding sensing technologies for damage detection. This Special Issue focuses on the development and challenge of sensing technologies for damage detection. The broader aim is to collect high-quality papers from researchers around the world working in this area to make damage detection more widespread and more effective using sensing technologies. Research articles and reviews are solicited that provide a comprehensive insight into the sensing technologies for damage detection on any aspect of novel sensor development and applications. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

• Structural health monitoring
• Nondestructive test and evaluation
• Novel structural health monitoring modeling and evaluation
• Advanced computational methods and signal processing
• Big data collection and processing for the SHM
• Material assessment using SHM systems
• Structural management using monitoring systems
• Advanced sensors technologies and reliability
• Embedded sensing system for structural health monitoring
• Big data processing and management for SHM
• New damage detection, localization, or quantification methods
• Computer-vision-based damage detection methods
• Advanced deep machine-learning-based damage detection
• Application of SHM to large-scale infrastructures
• UAV-based infrastructure monitoring

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.
