Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Symmetry and asymmetry are ubiquitous phenomena in nondestructive testing (NDT). The following are examples: a metal test object may have a certain crystalline symmetry; a composite test object may have a symmetric/asymmetric layup; the ultrasonic testing method may use symmetric/asymmetric wave modes in physics; and the electromagnetic testing may use symmetric/asymmetric coil arrangements. There are too many examples of symmetry and asymmetry in nondestructive testing to name all of them. Therefore, this abundance would inspire new research in NDT from the perspective of symmetry and asymmetry.
We are pleased to invite you to submit your manuscripts about symmetry/asymmetry phenomena in nondestructive testing to this Special Issue. In this Special Issue, original research articles and review articles are welcome. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following: ultrasonic nondestructive testing, electromagnetic testing, radiography testing, visual testing, infrared thermography, acoustic emission, and microwave testing.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
