Sensors Fusion in Non-Destructive Testing Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Non-destructive testing (NDT) is an engineering approach for examining the properties of a structure or system without causing damage. This technology is widely used in medical imaging, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, etc.  While it is relatively straightforward to inspect a small component or structure non-destructively in many applications, non-destructive testing of large structures, such as wind turbine blades, long distance pipelines, railways, etc., is often extremely challenging. This generally requires sensors fusion from the various non-destructive testing technologies applied.

This Special Issue encourages advances in sensors fusion in non-destructive testing and evaluation applications associated with (but not limited to) ultrasonic, eddy-current, thermography, and shearography techniques. We would like to invite original research articles, as well as review articles, that contain theoretical, analytical, and experimental investigations covering all aspects of NDT&E sensing. Applications associated with large structures are particularly welcome.

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.
