Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The present Special Issue focuses on nondestructive evaluation (NDE) and material characterization of additive-manufactured (AM) components and structures. Ultrasonic wave propagation and acoustic emission phenomena have been widely utilized successfully for many years in the field of NDE and in AM research. However, additive manufacturing technology demands increasingly higher levels of performance of NDE.
Newer approaches are essential to attain breakthrough achievements using modeling tools and emerging artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. The following topical areas are listed as examples, and other synergic efforts are also encouraged:
- NDE methods directed towards AM components merging AI with all areas of NDE;
- Structural evaluation under extreme environments;
- Elastic wave methods with attenuation and dispersion for material characterization;
- Sensor technology and wireless systems;
- New generation CT scan technology for AM products;
- Elastic waves and AE methods with damage and fracture mechanics;
- AE applications to flaw identification in AM structures;
- High-frequency eddy current and THz methods for quality control processes;
- Holography, shearography and MOI applications for AM products;
- Instrumented acoustic methods for AM production.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
