Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is inevitable that structures under stress due to mechanical or environmental loading eventually develop damage. The detection of damage initiation and its location is crucial for taking earlier precautions and making timely repairs and decisions regarding the residual life of structural materials and preventing unexpected failures. With the advancement of modeling, data analytics, data acquisition systems, and sensors, there has been significant progress in real-time damage detection and localization in complex structural systems and materials.
In this Special Issue, we aim to present the latest research and developments on the methods for damage detection and localization. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Predictive models for damage localization
- Advanced signal processing methods
- Damage localization in complex structural systems
- Influence of anisotropy in damage detection and localization
- Innovative sensor technologies for improved damage localization
- Role of machine learning in damage detection
- Visualization in damage detection and location

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. Metals 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 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.
