Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ageing of civil infrastructure has long been recognised as a major problem, both in terms of safety and also the economic impact of maintenance costs and loss of utility. Structural health monitoring has the potential to contribute to safety and prioritising maintenance expenditures. However, despite a great deal of research over a number of decades there are a number of significant challenges that remain.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collate the state-of-the-art research in vibration based structural health monitoring for civil engineering applications. Authors are invited to submit papers that describe ongoing work to address the significant challenges that limit the widespread effective implementation of structural health monitoring systems in civil engineering. Topics to be covered include:
(i) Sensors for SHM of civil engineering infrastructure
(ii) Optimal sensor placement for civil engineering SHM
(iii) Big data and SHM
(iv) Quantification of uncertainties in monitoring parameters
(v) The use of SHM in reliability assessment
(vi) System identification for SHM
(vii) The removal of environmental effects from SHM data
(viii) Appropriate modelling of damage for civil engineering SHM
Vibration (ISSN 2571-631X) is dedicated to the scientifically-rigorous dissemination of peer-reviewed publications pertinent to vibration science and engineering. All accepted manuscripts submitted in 2018 will be published in open access, with article processing charges (APCs) waived.

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. Vibration 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 1600 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.
