Eddy Current Sensors and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Non-destructive testing (NDT) uses techniques to measure component and structure properties without affecting their condition. The application of eddy current testing in NDT has seen significant advancement over the past decade with the introduction of novel sensors, including new coil designs, magnetic field sensors, and the development of techniques such as pulsed eddy current, low-frequency eddy current, and multi-frequency signal analysis. These developments have been accompanied by advances in signal analysis using multivariate techniques, such as principal components analysis, and the application of machine learning tools, including the application of deep neural networks. Modeling of electromagnetic sensor response has been used to gain insight into the parameters that affect inspection outcomes, optimize the desired response for target parameters, and develop inverse models to simultaneously extract multiple inspection parameters. This Special Issue of Sensors highlights some of these recent advances in eddy current sensor technologies and methods.

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.
