Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The primary purpose of this Special Issue is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for discussion on structural health monitoring (SHM) and nondestructive testing (NDT) strategies associated with signal processing, engineering, material science, computer science, physics, and biomedical engineering. So far, these topics have been presented and discussed separately by different communities. We welcome articles that unite multiple perspectives and/or views from distinct disciplines. As such, this Special Issue will cover the analysis of various types of materials (e.g., composite, metallic, crystal, bone cells, amongst others) and through manual, semi-automatic, and automated techniques (e.g., via machine learning).
Scope:
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- SHM and NDT methods for assessment of valuable assets
- New signal processing and filtering methods
- Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data mining;
- Damage modeling, fracture simulation
- Ultrasonic signals and their applications;
- Uncertainty quantification and management
- Acoustic emission, guided waves
- Vibration-based SHM
- Damage identification
Moreover, we welcome contributions that describe work supporting research on SHM and NDT, such as dedicated software repositories and annotated databases.

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. Signals is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
