Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In engineering design, controlling vibration and limiting damage due to dynamic excitations are of paramount importance. With the advent of advanced sensor technologies, more precise and robust measurements can now be made to rapidly evaluate the dynamic performance of a variety of physical and engineering systems. While traditional sensors such as strain gauges, strain rosettes, displacement transducers, and accelerometers can still be used to evaluate the behavior of structural and mechanical systems under external stimuli, more advanced sensors made from MEMS, lasers, fiber optics, and advanced diodes are now being used in smart materials and intelligent structures to allow for real-time monitoring of their performance, making self-assessment and optimal adaption of their responses to applied stimuli possible.
This Special Issue solicits papers that address experimental, analytical, and numerical work aims toward measuring, analyzing, and modeling the performance of complex engineering systems subject to time-varying loads. We welcome submissions of completed research work that use traditional and/or more advanced sensors in aerospace, geotechnical, mechanical, and structural engineering for assessing system behavior, controlling vibration, limiting potential damage as well as addresses the application of novel methods to gather, classify, and analyze data for use in machine and deep learning.
Potential topics for this Special Issue of Sensors include but are not limited to:
- Experimental dynamic analysis
- Vibration control
- Seismic assessment and damage mitigation
- Active, semi-active, and passive control
- Failure detection, diagnostics, and prognostics
- Machine and deep learning

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.
